Chicago's Dumbest Thief

[mode107]

Ruben Zarate entered a muffler shop in the 2600 block of North Laramie Avenue yesterday and declared a robbery. He allegedly waved a gun around and demanded money, according to police.

When he was told the money was in a safe and that the manager who knew how to open it was not there, the suspect had a brilliant idea; at least he thought it was brilliant. 

He gave the shop employees his cell phone number and asked them to call him when the manager arrived so he could open the safe for him.  He left and the employees opted to call 911

Yep, I saw this on my afternoon local news.

Being that dumb, he deserved to be caught, and he also had on one of those monitoring devices on his ankle.
