This past October a 17 year old teenage was booked into a juvenile detention center in Lynnwood Washington after he got his arm stuck in the doggy door of a house.
He was accused of trying to burglarize the home.
Apparently experienced thieves avoid homes with pet doors because it usually means that a dog is present in the home.
Then there’s the case of the incompetent counterfeiter, Leah Jerolimek of Sheboygan, Wis. who last November, tried to pay a bill at a local gas station with a counterfeit $20 bill. The bill only had printing on one side and the other was blank. Oops!
Also, experienced criminals don’t usually risk getting their arms torn off by ill tempered poodles.
