Summary: "A hilarious collection of all-new true stories of dumb criminals committing stupid crimes. A woman filled out a form online to hire a hitman, only to find the website was a fake and law enforcement had a complete record of her attempted crime. A thief on a motorbike snatched a phone out of a man's hand, only to find the man was a reporter in the middle of livestreaming a report to thousands of viewers, including footage of the criminal and his crime. A woman made bomb threats to her boyfriend's workplace because she wanted to spend more time with him. A would-be robber escaped police by hiding out in a large building, only to find himself behind the gates of infamous Sing Sing Correctional Facility. Whether accidentally calling 911 on themselves, locking themselves in the house they're robbing or other outrageous acts of stupidity, there's no shortage of people who seem intent on getting themselves caught. The World's Even Dumber Criminals contains many all-new stories about criminals who put the wrong in wrongdoing."-- Provided by publisher.
