Just, wow. At least the charges were dropped.

I... I......... I have no words for this one. Except: Do not piss off the minimum-wage person on the other end of the line.

I can't believe that he acknowledged that he deserved to be told to f**k off!

True, but then she probably wouldn't have been arrested...

Somehow, I think it might've worked out better if this guy had troubled one of Argabarga's brethren, instead of locking up her car and getting that result.

In the case of the movie cliche, I'd say it's because an old-west sheriff would always be carrying his revolver, but wouldn't always be carrying a hammer.

Perhaps, but he wouldn't always be carrying nails, either. Since it makes sense to store your hammer and nails in the same spot, and if you need to nail something up, you'd grab the hammer as well as the nails.

How dumb is it to commit a crime using a company vehicle? I would say extremely dumb.

Either extremely dumb or well-planned. For a BIG heist, steal some random company's van and immediately (i.e. before the APB goes out) use it for your planned crime, then ditch it. Witnesses will immediately focus on the obvious (i.e. company name on the side), possibly ignoring subtle details which would aid in identifying the real crooks.

What's really ridiculous is that hammers have been around for millenia, are quite common and not terribly expensive. Rather than misuse something else as a hammer, why not just use an actual hammer?!

Yea verily. Even Gord Himself has had to deal with extremely dumb thieves like that.

Seriously?! They've got an awful lot of gall calling the store employees stupid!

Irony: two plumbers who are so dumb, they think retail workers are too stupid to be able to read.

This site is proof that retail workers are smart enough to read. Most of us have worked in customer service at one time in our lives.

Almost as bad as a cliche scene in Western movies, where a sheriff would nail up "wanted" posters - using the butt of his revolver as a hammer. The SAA did NOT have a transfer bar safety. I'm surprised none of the parody Westerns duplicated this scene while adding the probable result (sheriff accidentally shoots himself in the forearm).

Me: “Actually I just have one question: why on earth did you think it was a good idea to use a company vehicle in a robbery?”

Shoplifter: “We didn’t think retail employees knew how to read.”

Judging from the smashed battery pack, I'm guessing she was holding the other end and slamming the pack into the nail and concrete. Completely, totally and utterly brain-rotted stupid.

Even if I can understand the waitress not knowing, the kitchen staff should know not to serve under cooked chicken.

When I started reading it I though she had a hammer drill, but those really wouldn't work to drive a nail into concrete.

Using a drill as a hammer?! The stupid, it hurts!
