Call Me When the Manager Gets In, So I Can Come Back and Rob You
This deserves to be on some reality TV show about the world's most stupid criminals. No one can accuse Ruben Zarate, 18, of being a brain surgeon.
He tried to rob Mufflers for Less in Chicago on Monday morning. Unfortunately, there wasn't any money in the cash register (guess he was too early), and employees told him only the manager had the combination to the safe.
So, did Zarate try robbing a different store? Nope, he told employees to call him when the manager showed up, and gave them his cell phone number.
Employees called him, but of course it was a set-up. Still, there was obvious danger, as Zarate was armed. Upon his return Zarate confronted a plainclothes officer, who told him he was a police officer - but as Zarate didn't drop his weapon, the officer was forced to shoot Zarate, striking him in the leg.
''No one could make this up,'' 25th Police District Lt. Scott Schwieger said.
Yep, you can't make up stuff this good.

Un-freakin-believable. That's just awesome. Stupid enough to leave his cell number, and stupid enough to get shot in the leg. Nice.
