Real Men of Criminal Genius

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch lowers the bar on criminal masterminds in this story:

A cigarette thief is taking great pains not to get caught as he makes his getaway from Madison County stores, authorities said Tuesday.

Those great pains?

He uses duct tape to cover the registration number on the temporary Illinois tag on the back of his black Saturn, which has no front plate.

Because apparently the great pains don’t include obscuring his face, since there’s a full facial shot of him accompanying the story.

  1. Maybe you guys are used to dumber criminals in your neck of the woods…….? You know, the ones that DON’T cover their tag numbers.

    Sounds pretty crafty to me.
