Lack of Intelligence Theft

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 • Filed under Theft

Thanks to the increasing accessibility and widespread use of computer, identity and intelligence theft have become more rampant and more common. It’s too bad this guy didn’t try to steal some intelligence for himself.

Someone who was already in jail on an unrelated charge got an extra charge of theft for trying to steal one of the jail’s computers, according to the AP.

The suspect was already serving a sentence for a charge of larceny when he tried to steal the computer. Apparently he wanted to research his record to see if he could get his parole board to let him off for time on good behavior.

The judge who re-sentenced the suspect called it one of the dumbest crimes he’s ever handled in his entire career. The suspect agreed and calling himself “not the best criminal.” It’s too bad he didn’t plead “stupidity” because the judge might have actually considered it as a viable plea.
