This weekend, in Toronto, a would-be burglar broke into a hairdressing salon and a tanning salon. He gained entrance by jimmying the door to an office building, then cutting through the drywall to the Hari Bar next door.
There he opened the till and helped himself to some cash. Tired from his work, and finding a deck of smokes and a lighter, he stopped for a smoke and used the washroom. Police intelligence (an oxymoron, surely? ed.) knows this because he forgot to flush.
After relieving himself, he cut another hole into the tanning salon next door, where he smashed the register, took about $200 and calmly walked out the front door. He did not use the tanning bed, leading police to believe that he might be of the coloured persuasion.
However, he failed to notice the CCTV camera, which got a pretty good picture of him, seeing as he hadn't worn a mask. There were also fingerprints, since he didn't wear gloves either.
With pictures and prints to go on, the Toronto police probably felt they didn't need the identification that the burglar left behind. While cleaning up the mess, a salon employee found a wallet on the floor. Inside were a credit card, a City of Toronto paycheque...and a parole card.
Police returned the wallet to its owner and arrested him for burglary, parole violation...and gross stupidity.
