If you were to rob a bank, probably the most important thing you would care about is speed and efficiency. There are many ways to be speedy during a bank robbery, but one thing I would not recommend is calling ahead of time to make sure they have the money ready for you to steal.

These two would-be robbers in Connecticut called the bank ahead of time and told them to have the money ready for them to pick up for the robbery. There's really not too much to say about this one considering it's pretty obvious how dumb these two guys are. I can't believe they actually showed up.

With all of the banks in America doing so badly in this recession, you'd think they would try to limit the amount of mistakes they make as to not draw unwanted attention to themselves. Oddly enough, I've come across many stories around the web about banks doing really dumb things.

Just this past Janurary, Citibank sent out around 600,000 envelopes to customers that had their Social Security Numbers printed on the outside of them. They said they were sorry, but tried to make it sound like it wasn't that big of a deal by claiming the SSN wasn't easy to spot because it was part of a larger string of digits.

Bank of America has been trying to one up Citibank by possessing homes that aren't even theirs to begin with. Sure, any company can make an honest mistake, but what should be done when it keeps happening over and over? It seems like BofA has a tendancy to just foreclose random houses. The worst part of this whole thing is that BofA keeps on claiming it isn't their fault when it happens.

I wouldn't doubt it if BofA had their hand in demolishing the wrong house.

This 19-year-old guy from Quebec got thrown back in jail for 60 days after stealing a $3.37 beer from a local store. The /facepalm in the story is that he was stealing the beer to celebrate getting out of jail that day. Why was he in jail, you ask? He was convicted of petty theft several times before this and was sentenced to 8 months prior to this event.

What I don't get is that the courts wanted to give him the lightest sentance they could, which was 60 days. If the guy just spent 8 months in jail and the first thing he does when he gets out is go and steal a beer, I don't think he learned his lesson. I'd lock him up for a couple years and see if he understands then.

I have seen some pretty dumb questions on Yahoo Answers. Some of them are probably trolls, but others seem to be really dumb people who are genuine about the question they are asking, no matter how dumb it sounds. This seems to be one of those questions. Thank you, Internet, for providing access to ANYONE who has a computer.

To see the original question, you can click on the image above. Some of the answers are pretty funny.

According to the NY Post a burglar got caught by posting what he stole on Craig's List.

The victim had his tires and rims stolen from his car that was parked on the street overnight. Even though he was obviously bummed about it, he had to get new wheels. He went to Craig's List to find replacements and saw his wheels being sold by the guy who stole them.

He contacted the "seller" and the police and had everyone meet at the same location. He got his wheels back and the thief is now in jail.

It's not usual to get things back that are stolen like that, so this is a pretty sweet story. I love when the bad guy gets his comeuppance.
