Old lags make you laugh

Dumb and dumber - got to hand it to the criminal fraternity - shame that we so often do - but for raw stupidity and staggering ineptitude they are unbeatable. Take young Lee Gadsby who dropped his phone while out for a spot of routine burglaring. Switch on and hey-ho, there's his face on the screen! Any old plod could decifer that clue. Call home Constable, your clear up rate's just gone rocketing! Lee 19, from Clifton, Nottingham, likes to do a bit of nicking in his spare time, so another 29 offences were added to his list. Nice one.

Good to know that he won't waste his time inside. The lags are watching the Crime and Investigation network on Sky, courtesy of the taxpayer. Costs us £4,400 a month to tutor the boys in their trade. You'd like to think that Lee wouldn't make the same mistake again, but with this wooden top I think we are safe.
