Goldilocks and the Dumb Crooks

"Moderation in all things" are the words of wisdom. That holds true in all sorts of things, even crime. Here we have two dumb-criminal stories -- one about being too discriminating, the other about not being discriminating enough.

Keep them coming when you find them. Everyone loves to read about dumb criminals.
