True Crime - Criminally Stupid: Unbelievable Real Stories of Bungling Lawbreakers, Botched Heists, and Outrageous Blunders

The perfect heist exists only in fiction. The spectacularly failed heist? These are the unbelievable true stories.Forget meticulous masterminds and cat-like burglars. This is a jaw-dropping collection of real-life lawbreakers whose grand ambitions were foiled not by brilliant detective work, but by their own outrageous blunders. These are the tales of bungling robbers and would-be geniuses who prove that the weakest link in any criminal enterprise is the criminal himself.Inside, you’ll discover the bank robber who believed rubbing lemon juice on his face would make him invisible to security cameras , a multi-million-dollar diamond heist undone by a half-eaten salami sandwich, the getaway drivers whose escape was thwarted by their car’s dead battery in the victim’s parking lot, the serial killer who taunted police for decades, only to be caught after asking them for tech support—and trusting their answer, and the burglar who accidentally butt-dialed 911, broadcasting his entire crime live to a dispatcher.From botched getaways to self-incriminating selfies, this book is a riveting, often hilarious, look into the psychology of hubris and the astonishing incompetence that turns a would-be crime of the century into a cautionary tale.If you love astonishing true stories and jaw-dropping epic fails, you won’t be able to put this book down.Read more
