A burglary was foiled this week when the thief apparently became engrossed in a Nintendo DS game, reports the Herald-News.
After breaking into a Joliet, Illinois apartment, the man appears to have been so taken with a game on the homeowner's Nintendo DS that he decided to stop ransacking her bedroom and play it. When the 22-year-old apartment owner returned, the thief fled, taking only a pink iPod Touch -- and leaving the DS.
"The victim's Nintendo DS was on, and it appears the suspect had been playing it," Deputy Chief Mike Trafton told the Herald-News.
Police are still seeking the game-addled thief. So if you notice an increased police presence at the DS racks in game stores around Illinois, now you know why: they're hoping he goes looking for another fix.

Ok Squidly...here ya go
2 guys go to a town where their cousin moved to. They couldn't find the house so they pulled a policeman over to ask directions. Instead of directions, the driver got a driving under the influence and transporting an open container, the other got public intoxication under the age of 21. Moral...if you're too drunk to get there, you're too drunk for directions. Get outta the car idiot!
OMG, that's too funny. Alcohol makes people do the stupidiest things. In a commercial area nearby, they caught a burglar/thief stuck in a vent as he tried to get through to rob the place. The vent was the normal size of duct work but this guy was over 200 lbs. Here's your stupid award!
Keep sharing, Alyaks!
I didn't forget to post Squid. The stupid ice storm put me behind lol.
A gal was at the casino and got caught with controlled dangerous substance. I think it was Lortabs without a prescription. Anyway, she called to get bonded out and said she had the money in her car at the casino if I would take her there to get it. Since I knew her, I went ahead and got her out of jail and drove her to the casino. Sure enough, the money was in her car, just like she said. $250.00 worth of quarters in a pillow case! (Or so she said...I personally think there was more than that.) I told her to take it the next day, cash it in for paper money and bring it to me lol. Good for her word, she did just that. When she went to court a week later, she was dressed in a mini dress that barely covered her middle section and little else. The judge (who was a man) dismissed the charges against her because of illegal search over the objections of the DA (who was a woman). Just wanted to let ya'll know that not ALL criminals are stupid.
That's too funny! Thanks for sharing, Aly.
I was watching the news yesterday. They caught a man trying to steal from a church. His 250 pound arse was stuck in a window and he couldn't get through. Busted. lol
hysterical.gif Serves him right!
There was a guy in my neighborhood robbing items out of people's backyards. He decided one day to come and get my lawnmower and a few other items he could carry. Unfortunately he would also have to carry my 90 lb shepard that bit into his hand after he jumped the fence in to my yard. He made it to my back door with my dog still attached to his bleeding hand. I answered and he asked if I could get the dog to release him and if he could use my phone to call someone. I replied by grabbing my 40 cal beretta and advising him he had 10 seconds to get out of my yard after I tell my dog to release him. Neither me or my neighbors have seen him since he jumped my fence and ran for the hills. My dog got some extra steak with his kibble that day.
I would've had the dog hold onto him while I called the cops. The release command would have come when I saw some uniforms.
The police was chasing this guy in my neighborhood for breaking into cars past year He decided to jump my side fence into my backyard trying to get away from the police. Unfortunately for him, he could only hit the back fence in 3 seconds ranning when my two 100 lbs Rottweilers could hit it in 2.5 seconds right behind him. I answered my front door after hearing the dogs baking and screaming To found a policeman asks if I would call my dogs into the house so they could check my backyard for the guy. But man had jumped my back fence after the dogs had their way with him a few minutes. The policeman put out a report of the guy wearing blue jeans, black t-shirt with dogs bites
