An armed robbery suspect was creative when it came to his getaway car. After robbing a store in Maryland, the 23-year-old man ordered up an Uber.

A nail salon in Philadelphia was robbed by a man who somehow thought it would be a nice idea to treat himself to a manicure first.

A Pennsylvania man who was convicted of robbing 10 gas stations, beer distributors and convenience stores in 2012 used the old “evil twin” excuse. 34-year-old Steven Felton claimed it wasn’t he who performed the robberies, but a nefarious doppelgänger. Clearly he’d been watching way too many daytime soaps.

A North Carolina man was planning to propose to his girlfriend when he was rudely interrupted by a robbery in progress. The romantic moment was scheduled to happen at a Mexican restaurant called Salsarita’s, where Nicolas Anderson, his fiancee Deanna and her son Brighton were enjoying a meal.

A jewel thief is by far the sexiest type of criminal, but not when you act like a tool about it. Case in point: a group of men who successfully pulled off a series of jewelry store robberies were later caught when they showed off their baller status on social media.
