Better Work On That Disguise
The one item that every aspiring criminal can’t do without would have to be the disguise. Popular choices are items such as pantyhose, ski masks, and -for that southwestern flair- bandannas.
But our young burglar wannabes Matthew McNelly, 23, and Joey Miller, 20, decided to go a different route. Instead they doodled on their faces in the manner known throughout kindergarten – with permanent marker. They attempted to break into a woman’s apartment while wearing their super clever disguises, but drove off without succeeding. The woman called the police and described the burglar’s car and said that they were wearing face paint.
If only. That would at least wash off.
Not too much later the police pulled over the suspicious vehicle and found the two face-sharpied thieves. It didn’t take much to know that these were their guys.
