Wrong Place:

REYKJAVIK-Iceland (Reuters)

Two men who stole a trailer-tent from a car park in a Reykjavik suburb were arrested after trying to pitch it next to its owner- in a remote beauty spot some 75 miles away, police said on Monday.

When the two robbers arrived at the Thorsmork campsite they found the trailer was broken, and made so much noise trying to set it up that they attracted the attention of the man in the next tent, who offered to help.

He was surprised to find that it was his trailer, and immediately called the police.

Not the smartest idiot:

Dublin, Ireland

Gavin gole of Dublin got into a bus with three packets of heroin safely hidden in his packet. You’d have to be a real idiot to take the packets out while sitting right there on the bus with everyone else. And while this is stupid enough it just happened that the man sitting next to him was an off-duty drug squad officer.

So here he is playing with his heroin next to the officer and his cell phone rings. And the officer heard the following conversation, “Yeah, I have the stuff. Meet me at the bus station and bring plenty of money! But wait! There’s more.

Figuring he could just sit back and relax since he was about to make a big deal he lit up a marijuana cigarette. You know the rest.
