Bonehead criminal of the week...

WTOL's FB page is reporting that a woman and her son tried to hold up Liberty Tax service...using a curling iron as a weapon.

How were they able to ID the criminal so quickly? Because she got her taxes done first, then attempted the robbery!

That's one smart criminal. Hand over all personal identifying info before brandishing the curling iron.

Sigh...how long before this one hits national odd news sites?

I listen to Dave and Chuck the Freak morning show out of Detroit/Windsor. They do "Idiot Criminal of the Day" stories. Bet this will make the cut!

I wonder if she would have claimed the stolen money as income on next years taxes had she gotten away

Would this income be considered capital gains?

You don't have to claim it has income as long as you return it in the same year you stole it. She has time.

If you outlaw curling irons, only criminals will have curling irons.
