Dumb Criminal -- lifetime achievement award

How about celebrating this mokes 100th conviction. From The BBC:
'Dumb' criminal caught by police
A man branded the dumbest criminal in Scotland by police has been jailed for 16 months for another botched burglary.

Perth Sheriff Court heard David McGregor's latest conviction for breaking into an 80-year-old woman's home was his 100th conviction.

McGregor, wearing distinctive white gloves, was easily spotted as he climbed through a window at the pensioner's home in broad daylight.

Neighbours gave police a running commentary as he ransacked the home.

The court heard the elderly woman was in her house at the time of the burglary and McGregor, 35, got no more than 100 metres before he was rounded up by the police.
A bit more:
Solicitor Paul Ralph, defending, said McGregor had spoiled his son at Christmas and was needing to find a way to pay for the cost of his toys.

He told the court that McGregor's efforts at theft had not been helped by the fact he had down nearly a full bottle of whisky beforehand.
Not 100 arrests but 100 convictions and the guy is only 35 years old. Wonder what Dr. Oliver Sacks would have to say... Posted by DaveH at April 12, 2007 11:13 PM
