Every time I think there are limits to stupidity, I discover there apparently are not. From CNN.com:
Police received a call Friday night that two men with hooded sweatshirts and painted faces had tried to break into a man’s home in Carroll, Iowa.
When police stopped a vehicle matching the caller’s description blocks away, they were stunned by the men’s disguises.
There were no ski masks or stockings pulled over their heads; instead, Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, streaked their faces permanent black marker.
They used permanent markers. Didn’t they think the days it would take to fade would be a clue they did something stupid?
Sigh…
