Bwahahaha. Sorry I just couldn’t help but have an extra little chuckle after I typed the title of this post, I’m sure that there were a few people that instantly got heated the minute they saw the name of the post. No need to worry haters your not the target today, go back to doing the useless things you were doing that seem to give you so much excitement.
I’m in a time crunch so my typical long winded post won’t work here, I’ll have to give a little extra effort to keep this story short and sweet.
Earlier this week I received a phone call from one of the girls that works for Extreme Tan and Smoothies (not releasing her name here), she was extremely upset because someone had just stolen her purse out of the Extreme Tan and Smoothies van (below). As you can imagine anyone that has their property stolen would be pretty unhappy about it.
Now in order to save some time and get down to it so you can leave a comment with your thoughts on how stupid the person that stole the purse was I will cut out the middle portion of the story and get to the bottom line.
Approximately 20 minutes after the initial phone call came in the person that stole the purse out of the Extreme Tan and Smoothies van walked out of a tanning bed in our Largo tanning salon, with the purse hanging off of her shoulder.
One key point to mention here is that the idiot stole the purse from the van while it was parked in front of the tanning salon, call me crazy but wouldn’t stealing a purse from a company marked van than going to into that companies business be considered a little dumb?

Seriously the best story ever! How do these criminals keep getting dumber!
I hope she called the police!

@Mike from Daily Shot Of Coffee, yes she did FINALLLLLLY call the police.
The mind boggles on what was actually going through their mind at the time, they were probably thinking “Oo a purse I’ll have that” and then the advertising on the van started saying to them “You need a tan and this is the place to go”

@Karen @ Blazing Minds, for some reason I think that persons mind was working that simple.
So what happened next? I’m pretty sure the face of whoever stole the purse is priceless after she got nabbed.

@MichaelR, nope she was very calm about it and said to the girl, “I’m happy you found your purse” and walked out the front door.
WOW!
Did she get the BEAT DOWN ?
Give me more give me more. You can’t just leave us hanging like that.
Thats just as bad as the guy holding up the bank with the note to the teller on the back of his DEPOSIT SLIP. I Love Morons in the news.
Make today a Super Safari Day
Go BJ PENN !!
@SafariDave, nope no beat down all though I thought for sure the associate involved was going to.
lol, that really was a dumb thief, good that you got the purse though…

@Hard Rocking South African@Music Judge, I don’t think my lawyer would want me doing that ;)
That was pretty dumb. Okay, REALLY dumb!
But at least she had good taste to visit your tanning salon!
Did she try to use the stolen credit card to pay for her tanning services? dumb-da-dumb-dumb

@Mark@Swiss Army Mens Watch, thats actually a great way of looking at it! Haha. No all though if she would have I would imagine she wouldn’t have gotten off as lucky as she did.
Thank you for taking the time to comment I really appreciate it.
Trust me, this person isn’t the stupidest criminal in the world. In the town where I used to live a body was found in a suitcase. Wasn’t hard to find the culprit as he’d written his name, address, and phone number inside the suitcase.
This is some funny shit – I live in St. Pete so there are Extreme Tan and Smoothie’s all around me…this broad does deserve a place on one of those world’s dumbest criminal shows though.
