Checks

Because his late father was an Air Force veteran, 22-year-old Allen Smith gets a check from the VA every month. The $650 helps pay his college expenses but, like many students, he could always use some more. He got a lot more earlier this month, when he opened his VA check and was staring right at the staggering sum of $690 million.

Looks like we have a brand new candidate for dumbest criminal ever. Patrick Johnson robbed two banks in the Ocala, FL area in one day. The thief had the presence of mind to change his wardrobe  between his crimes, but his method of sticking up the banks — a note stating he had a gun — was the same both times.
