Dumbest thief ever logs into Facebook on victim’s computer during burglary, forgets to log out
Jun 24, 2014
The world is full of truly stupid would-be criminals but one Minnesota man might have just taken the crown for the title of World’s Stupidest Thief. CBS Minnesota reports that police arrested 26-year-old Nicholas Wig for burglarizing a home in South St. Paul on June 19th after his victim discovered that Wig had used his computer to log into his Facebook page and never logged out before leaving. When police arrived to arrest Wig, they also found that he was wearing his victim’s wrist watch, which obviously won’t help with any potential defense.
Homeowner James Wood was needless to say surprised to see that Wig had taken the time to log into Facebook while allegedly burglarizing his house, let alone that he had forgotten to log out of it before leaving.
Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom concurred with Wood’s assessment that Wig might be the stupidest alleged thief he’s ever seen.
“I’ve never seen this before,†he said. “It’s a pretty unusual case, might even make the late night television shows in terms of not being too bright.â€
It reminds me of the quote:
