Customer Reviews

Hilarious

It took me a while to read this because I laughed so hard it would slow me down dramatically. At the time, I thought to myself "Could people really be this stupid?" I decided to talk to a couple of friends of mine who are police officers and they just laughed. They told me that they dealt with far more stupid criminals than smart ones. I actually saw somewhere that the whole "writing a holdup note to rob a bank on your own deposit slips with your name on them" actually happens several times per year. The sobering reality is this: there are a lot of people out there who don't use the power of their brains. Mike Saxton, Author of "7 Scorpions: Rebellion"

AMERICA'S DUMBEST CRIMINALS--smart and funny

AMERICAN'S DUMBEST CRIMINALS. . . is laugh aloud funny! It's a great book to pick up when you have only a short time to read! It was the perfect gift for my husband's birthday; good for me, too, as I read it over his shoulder.

stupid laughter!

Americas dumbest criminals is full of stupid laughter!It has a bunch of little stories put together in one book!One of my favorite ones is about a guy that goes into a bank and tries to rob it but the bank calls the police and the guy starts running away from the police but they still caught him because he was robbing the bank at night and he was wearing light up shoes so the police could see him running!

Hilarious!!!!

I never cease to be amazed by how stupid some people can be. These stories literally had me laughing so hard that I dropped the book on the floor. I've read several different collections about dumb criminals but this one is by far the best. This book had me cracking up. If you have not yet read this book, pick up a copy because it is well worth it!

The way it really is

Any reader who says these tales are exaggerated or just war stories, obviously has never worked as a police officer. There are a lot of dumb crooks out there, so many and so dumb that officers can't always feel proud of their easy arrests. What's amazing is that some of these dummies have survived in this world as long as they have. While you will laugh out loud at the stories in this book, know that there are thousands of other dumb acts by criminals that could have been included and thousands more that have occurred since this book was written. And while you laugh, keep the sobering thought in mind that many of these dumb crooks are dangerous.
