Kentucky
Two men tried to pull the front off an ATM by running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of pulling the panel off the machine, however, they pulled the bumper off the truck. Scared, they left the scene of the crime. Their bumper, along with their license plate was still attached to the ATM.
ATMs do not seem to be the best thing to rob. Every story I heard involving them ended with the people involved going to jail and not getting a dime. They would have gotten away with nothing either way but you got to remember to take the bumper.
Indiana
A man walked up to a cashier at a grocery store and demanded all the money in the register. When the cashier handed him the cash, the man fled--leaving his wallet on the counter.
I don't see why his wallet needed to be out in the first place. Unless he was olike the criminal from a few journals ago that wanted to buy liquor. In both cases involving your wallet is the worst thing to do. Leave it at home guys.

A man went into a drug store and announced his intentions to commit robbery. He pulled a Hefty-bag over his face to conceal his identity. He did not, however, cut eyeholes in the mask and was tackled by a brave customer.
Think ahead. You have to cover your face first and make sure to include holes ahead of time. save yourself the trouble of having someone tackle you into the ground. A grandma could have done it for heaven's sake.

Drug Related Issues South Carolina
An angry man walked into his local police station and threw a bag of cocaine on the counter. He told the desk sergeant that it was a substandard cut and demanded that dealer he bought it form be arrested.
I hear about these kind of cases all the time on the radio and the news. The radio picks things kind of stories apart. Anyway anyone who deals with drugs should know anyway they are involved the peopl go to jail. For some reason, he decided to involve the police and got whats coming to him.
San Antonio, Texas
Amy was arrested in San Antonio, Texas, after a mechanic found eighteen packages of marijuana packed in the engine compartment of the car. The woman, who had taken her car in for an oil change said that she did not realize he would have to lift the hood to get the job done.
Weird place to stash drugs. The worst part was bringing it along when she was getting a oil change. Either knowing or not if the hood needed to be open you must consider all possibilities. Its safe to say that the least of her worries is her oil now.
Pontiac, Michigan
Charged with drug-possession, Johns claimed that he had been searched without a warrant. The prosecutor said the officer did not need a warrant because a bulge in Johns's jacket could have been a gun. "Nonsense," said Christopher who happened to be wearing the same jacket that day. When he handed the judge the jacket, a bag of cocaine fell out. The judge required a five minute recess so that he could gain his composure.
Who in there right mind would bring that kind of substance with them to court. He did have a case until that happened. Perhaps if he didn't bring the item with him he would have won. But not this time.

Car problemsRunning Low
Unknown
A bevy of thieves thought it would be a wise idea to steal cars from one of those trucks that transport automobiles across the nation. Everything went smoothly until it was realized that each car only contained one gallon of gasoline.
Not too bright. I think that anyone who needs a car that badly should just safe up bus fair.
The Club
Rochester, New York
John Schieman, 37, thought the best time to steal a car would be when its owner was getting out. As his would-be-victim, Robin Van Bortle, 32, was attaching The Club, to her steering wheel, Schieman made his move. Startled, the astute woman reacting by beating Schieman over the head with the antitheft device. The budding criminal was charged with robbery, assault, and grand larceny.
Just a case where perfect timing pays off and he waited alittle too long. This also goes to show the other successful things the club can do. They should show that on their commercials.
Bus Fare
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Two young larcenists in Florida--14 and 15 to be exact--appeared before Judge Larry Seidlin after stealing their twenty-fifth car in just two short years. After the boys were released, they walked out of the courthouse and realized they did not have bus fare for a ride home. Promptly, the duo stole number twenty-six; they crashed the vehicle into a fence less than an hour later.
I see they found what they are good at. I honestly feel that they should get a severe amount of jail time. Yes I know the crime is not a huge one but for two kids who do it over and over again they need to learn their lesson some how and it obviuosly is not working the way they are handling them now.

Participating or conducting a duel is prohibited.

It is illegal for more than five women to live in a house.
It is illegal to mistreat anything of great importance.
No one may be arrested on Sunday or on the Fourth of July.
Ohio had many many laws as well and this is just a slight few. I'm quite sure the law about no one being arrested on The 4th of July is the worst law possible. For safety sake mainly. You know how many people could get a way with things and try to leave town before the day was over since they couldn't get arrested. Amazing how this law came about.
Getting afish drunk is also a pretty stupid law. Understandable because the fish could die but why would it become a law. Its not something that would be brought up daily. Like murder and robbery is

SwitzerlandClothes may not be hung to dry on Sunday.
You may not wash your car on a Sunday.
It is considered an offense to mow your lawn on a Sunday, because it causes too much noise.
It is illegal to flush the toilet after 10 P.M. if you live in an apartment.
A man may not relieve himself while standing up, after 10 P.M.
Though it is illegal to produce, store, sell and trade absinth (special alcohol), it is legal to consume it.
It is required that every car with snow tires has to have a sticker on its dashboard which tells that the driver should not drive faster than 160 km/h with these tires. (Repealed 1999)
If you forget you car-keys inside the car and you leave the car open, you will be punished.
This country seems to be a lot like The united Kingdom and all its laws that revolve around petty topics. Switzerland does seem to have many laws regarding Sunday. I noticed that a lot in many of the laws that I look up and write about. I guess it may be because of religion and many people find Sunday to be the day for relaxztion.
