Desslock should be proud of Maine!

The only state were burglars eat your food, drink your wine, and fall asleep until you find them. Even in Florida they don't do this.

Lobster, wine and sleep follow Maine break-in (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/feedarticle/8570409)

PORTLAND, Maine (AP)

A man suspected of breaking into a Maine restaurant will have to get used to jailhouse food after workers at the eatery discovered lobsters and wine missing and the suspect asleep on a bench.

Police say Paul Bruneau broke into the Portland Lobster Co. through a rear window and stuffed his pockets with cash before chowing down on the better part of 11 prepared lobsters worth about $300. He washed it all down with a white wine.

The Portland Press Herald reports Bruneau also left a refrigerator open, causing about $1,000 worth of food to be thrown away.

Bruneau, who was already out on bail, was being held Friday at the Cumberland County Jail. He couldn't be reached for comment.

On one of those "dumbest criminals" television programs they showed a home video of a guy finding a naked burglar sleeping on a sofa inside his cluttered, messy house. I think that was in California. We've found his more refined but equally intelligent brother.

Man what a sad story. That must have been one hungry crook. I wonder if he purposely wanted to get caught.

My favourite dumbest criminal story was the one where a burglar walks up to a quickie mart and asks change for a 20. When the cashier opened it, the burglar demanded all the money in the register, which the cashier was forced to give. The burglar took all the money from the register and quickly left the store. Unfortunately for him, he forgot to take the 20 he originally placed on the counter for change. What's worse, there was only 14 dollars in the register. Is it a crime when the store makes a profit during a robbery?

There was a guy who just filled out a job application at this quick stop, then turned it in and robbed it. They had the copy of his Drivers License his address and everything.

In the opposite direction, I read a story related by a guy who worked at an electronics outlet. A man in a ski-mask walked in, picked up a packaged computer, walked out the front door as everyone watched and got away with it. He planned his escape route so that he could elude the employee sent to follow him and drive off before his car or license plate was seen.

And there was that woman who went in and out of Wal-Mart with a shopping cart and loaded 10 televisions into her van before someone noticed.

He's lucky he didn't try to take lobsters directly from the fishermen. Those criminals tend to end up as bait.
