Fun burglary stories
Another hilarious story of burglary when a man who had already spent 20 years in prison for a bank robbery tried to rob a bank as soon as he was released from the jail. He was able to rob and received several thousand dollars from two banks. As soon as he reached his hired getaway car he realized that he had locked his keys inside. The burglar tried to run away from the scene on foot but was grabbed by two passersby. He tried to pull out his gun but failed and shot himself in his leg. The suspect was later taken to a hospital and recovered after which he was charged with eight felonies.
Similarly, in Dartford, Kent, England, a robber armed with only a hammer attempted to smash his way into the house through the front windows but unfortunately, his foot got caught and he was unable to free himself. He was left hanging upside down in the window frame for more than an hour. A crowd of around 30 neighbors gathered and ridiculed him. As soon as the police arrived they were reportedly seen laughing as they arrested the suspect.
