Thieves Rob Cell Phone Store, Forget to Take Valuables

by Terrence O'Brien on July 9, 2009 at 12:59 PM

We here at the Switched offices have seen a lot of stories about stupid people, including a few about seriously dumb thieves, but this tale about some moronic criminals from Morelia, Mexico is certainly our favorite. Unlike this tale about thieves who left behind perfectly good steal-ables, our friends from Mexico didn't take anything that could possibly be construed as valuable.

Employees at a Telefonica Movistar, a cell phone store, arrived Tuesday morning to find they had been burglarized. Astoundingly, the only thing missing was the hollow dummy handsets intended for display only. The thieves left the registers full of cash and the store's stock of actual, functioning cell phones unperturbed.

We really hope theft isn't the primary source of income for these dimwits. Otherwise, it's going to be a real tough month around their den. [From: AP/SFGate]
