[Text] The Burglar Who Called The Police

This is from the Book of Heroic Failures.

A New York burglar committed the perfect crime in 1969. Following a carefully prepared plan, he climbed up onto the roof of a local supermarket, which he intended to burgle.

Once there, he found that he could not enter the building since the skylight was marginally too small to slip through.

With a sudden flash of inspiration he removed all his clothes and dropped them in through the skylight intending to follow them through, seconds later.

Brilliantly, he was still unable to fit through, and had to call the police to get his clothes back.

Lol, Uber Robber Fails.
