Least Competent Criminals

Audacious: (1) A 37-year-old man was charged with burglary in Waterbury, Conn.,

in September after he was caught selling the victim's distinctive furnishings at a yard sale,

just a few doors down the street.

(2) Christopher Bordne, 17, was arrested in September in Newton, Mass.,

after a police officer, waiting behind Bordne at a traffic light at 1:40 a.m. through several light changes,

checked to find Bordne with his foot on the brake but otherwise sound asleep.

After yelling at Bordne and rapping repeatedly on the window with his flashlight,

the officer watched as Bordne woke up, drove off and crashed into a tree.

Two unnamed Egyptian men in their 20s, in Russia on tourist visas,

illegally crossed the border to Belarus and then headed to Poland,

which, as a European Union country, is harder to enter.

According to an August report from BBC News' Moscow bureau,

the pair dug a hole under the border (using shoehorns), and once in Poland,

intended to enter Germany the same way, but they had gotten turned around ,

during the dig and instead of Germany, they mistakenly tunnelled back into Belarus,

where they were captured. They were sent back to Moscow but later,

were trying to leave the country again when Russian guards,

at the Ukraine border took them into custody.
