Random acts of criminal stupidity.

    Last night I was awoken from my slumber at 6am by the sound of glass breaking. Normally I'd assume this was some drunken lout throwing beer bottles around but this sound was different. It was then proceeded by the sound of some metal object smacking into glass once every second or so.

    I get up and look out my window to see a man on a bike, hammer in hand, working his way down our street trying to break every cars rear windscreen. He got 4 out of the 15 or so. I presume due to the way are cars were angle at and the chip on my rear windscreen most of his blows glanced off. He then pegged it.

    Then the rozzers turned up and myself and a few others had a chat in the street and it appears it is some serial guy doing this all over Carlisle. I'm the first guy apparantly to see the guy in the act.

    That was 2 nights ago, last night he had got 2 other streets before ours.

    Anyone else got any random storys about random crimes?

    Utterly retarded,

    Sounds pretty random indeed, GL.

    When I was about 16, some guy came down the main high street in my town and proceeded to kick in a huge shop window. It was surreal. He then asked my brother for his hat (my brother politely told him "no") before sauntering off as if nothing had happened. Bizarre. When the police turned up we drove around trying to find the guy and point him out, but he'd already done one by that point.

    I didn't witness this but it happened in my city:

    A guy jumped in a kids buffet (dunno how to call it, it's a place that you can rent to throw parties for kids) at night to steal monies, dvd players, videogames and whatever he could find. Then he found some frozen food on the refrigerator, he made it and ate it.

    The next morning, the people went to work and found a guy sleeping on a chair with lots of food around him, then proceeded to call the police. PWNT

    I know somebody who was out with a friend, his friend recieved got a text message from his girlfriend and allowed him to text back whatever he wanted, and made a big deal of not looking what was sent. The reply was “cant talk now, in a hostage situation,” which was funny until the armed police showed up at his house at 5 in the morning.

    proof or it didn't happen.

    how did the girlfriend know where they were (if they were in a hostage situation they could have been anywhere). I doubt the police would have gone to the trouble of tracking a mobile phone; if there was a hostage situation the police would most likely know about it already (otherwise it's just people sitting in your house telling you you can't leave - there needs to be demands and people to make those demands to).

    Why didn't the girlfriend call back, text back, etc etc before simply calling the police.

    The whole thing is very amusing, but reeks of fake.

    If I was going to make something up, it’d be a bit more impressive than that. Maybe they could’ve thrown flash bangs through the window and riddled a mannequin full of bullets (which my friend animates using voodoo magic). The GF just panicked, told the police and where they were. Phone wasn’t answered, so they sent some people to check it out. They'd already contacted the club they were at and verified it was probably BS - they didn't burst through the windows or anything.

    Track the phone? I can't remember saying they were somewhere wierd, in fact "his house" was used in the description. Though they were actually at a club when the message was sent.

    Edit: Actually, I'm pretty sure he's a goon. So I imagine it'd be posted on GB if you've an account.

    I once got arrested for taking a leak in the streets

    A guy from where I live got sent to jail for 4 months because he was drunk and took a pee on a video-renting machine, on the street.

    My sister's boyfriend knows two guys whose hobby is stealing stuff in stores... One night they built a long stick with parts of brooms and other junk and inserted it into the mail hole of a brand-clothes shop, catching shirts with a hook at the end of the stick. They had already 30 shirts out of the shop when a cop patrol passed in front of their car (they weren't visible from the street with all the cars parked) and since they had left their own headlights on, the cops found that strange and caught them. Nice try!

    Some fags once called my mom and claimed they had kidnapped my bro (there was a random guy crying in the distance and shouting stuff like "mom they are going to kill me" etc).

    She tried to call him but his celphone was turned off sadly. Then the "kidnappers" started to threaten to murder him blah blah blah. They almost drove my mom crazy

    Fake kidnaps are rather popular here, which sucks hard.

    They don't do it for fun KT. Fake kidnaps are played by prisoners who somehow have access to celphones and call random people in order to steal easy money.

    Statement filled in, 3 pages worth.

    Also noted down the exceedingly minor chip on my window as "criminal damage" so if the guy gets caught, I get compensation and also a trip to court possibly as a witness.
