Fiction aside, if criminals were smart they would not be criminals, although they might make good politicians.

Armed robbery suspect forgets to put on his mask

D.C. police are searching for an armed robbery suspect who bolted from a convenience store with cash but forgot one thing: to pull his mask down before his face was caught on camera.

The suspect entered the 7-Eleven store in Northeast D.C. just before 8 p.m. on March 21 with a gun and ordered the cashier to open the cash register, Fox 5 reported.
In the surveillance video from outside the store, the suspect could be seen approaching the entrance with purpose and pulling his gun out as he walked through the doors.

Once the suspect was in the store, he finally seemed to realize his mask was on the top of his head and quickly pulled it down to cover his face.

After the cashier opened the register, the suspect could be seen stealing the money and running out, keeping his mask on.
Cops asked anyone who might have information to contact them.

(facepalm)

That guy better not be caught and put in prison, he won't have a good time.

"Hey fish, whatca in for?"

"Armed Robbery."

"Wow, that's big time. How did you get caught?"

"Forgot to pull my mask down when I went in."

"I'm gonna have to beat you, you know, just for being stupid."

"Yeah, I know, that just what the police told me too..."

Criminal masterminds. In fiction perhaps.... maybe in corporate board rooms too, I guess.
