When people think of taking out home insurance or contents insurance, one of the main reasons is the threat of being robbed in their own homes. And while this is a scary thought, it pays to look on the lighter side of life sometimes.
www.oddee.com have published their list of the 10 most hilarious robbery stories. Lets revisit some now.
1. The men who drew masks on their faces with permanent markers
These guys attempted to disguise themselves by drawing on beards and moustaches on their faces. A witness saw the men with ‘painted faces’ who were soon pulled over by the cops. The thieves didn’t think too carefully though, and using permanent markers on their face, the evidence against them was hard to dispute!
2. The car thief who had his name and date of birth tattooed on his neck
When this car thief broke into a car to steal the GPS unit, he didn’t notice the cameras installed inside the car. Not surprising though, as he was stupid enough to break into a car with his own surname and date of birth tattooed on his neck!
3. The robber who was discovered because he laughed at a joke
A robber was hiding upstairs in a house when the owner told a joke to a friend downstairs. The robber couldn’t help but laugh at the joke, and was heard by the owner who quickly called the police. I really want to know what that joke was!
Perhaps it wasn’t home insurance or contents insurance you were thinking about getting? Car insurance was it? Well this is a great story to tell then!
