Cray-Cray Crimes

Cray-Cray Crimes

Crazy things are happening everywhere, and even crazier crimes. The stereotype is the Florida man, in Florida, it is a law that if people violate the law the crime must be put out on the news. Because of that law, there are crazy funny stories, but sometimes not all the crazy funny crimes happen there.
The crazy stuff can be like someone trying to use spaghetti sauce to light a house on fire which did happen. Anyways, here are some of the crazy crimes people have committed.

 

Got Gum?

In Utah, on November 1st, 2021, a man broke into a vehicle to get some gum. A video from inside the car shows the suspect breaking into the vehicle. The man had a flashlight, he started looking throughout the car for something. He opened the middle console and pulled out a pack of gum. After opening the gum container he poured out its contents and started looking around the vehicle again. The police don’t know what else he was searching for, maybe candy or more gum? The man left empty-handed, well except for the gum, and he went on his merry way. Police are still looking for the suspect, they shared the video hoping someone will find the suspect.

 

Pizza With A Side Of Crazy

Next, most people love pizza, but this man was not having it and shot at the pizza place. On November 14, 2021, Two men entered a Papa Johns in Draper Utah. The men had previously ordered over the phone and were there to pick up the order. The employee told the men that the call-in orders were not showing up because the system was down. The employee told the men they could replace their order because the order they made over the phone wasn’t working. The men became angry and started swearing at the employee. The employee asked the men to leave but they refused, so the employee called the police. The men left after the employee called the police. A few hours later the employee heard gunshots and the glass windows shattered, it was the two men. They called the police and the two men were then taken into custody.

 

Roller Coaster On A Roll

Third, on August 28th, 2019, In Ohio, someone loved a roller coaster ride so much they stole it, in broad daylight! The Go-Gator roller coaster was yanked from the Union County Fairgrounds. A white pickup truck then attached the ride to the truck and drove off with the kid’s ride in broad daylight. The man was spotted with a traffic camera, but nothing about the suspect was revealed. The ride is 20ft long, 30 years old, and worth $35,000, according to the retailer. However, it is more valuable to the people that live near the area. The residents claim to have ridden that ride for many years, it is a very special ride to them. It was never specified if the suspect returned the roller coaster or if the suspect was caught.

 

Watermelon Robbers

Finally, on May 5th, 2020, Two men hollowed out watermelons and wore them as face masks on Tik Tok. They then went to a local store wearing the watermelon masks and had a conversation with some of the workers. After the video was posted a few hours later two men wearing the melon masks robbed some booze from that same store. A little while later a Facebook post was put out that if anyone had seen these men they should contact the police. It never said if the suspects were caught but there is a high possibility that they were.

 

Conclusion

In conclusion, you shouldn’t commit crimes, they are dangerous and can lead to terrible consequences. These people will most likely spend a couple of years in jail for what they did. Though it is funny hearing about things like this happening it is still really, really bad. Just remember that you can go to prison for these things, as silly as they are, the consequences are not very forgiving. So please, don’t do things like this because it can lead to disastrous endings.
