Dumbass Criminal of the Year? Robbery Leaves Phone Number, So Manager Can Call Him to Open Safe - Chicago

The good news for police is that criminals are getting dumber. Take this robber in Chicago for example: he showed up at a local muffler shop and demanded money. The employees told him that he'd have to wait until the manager showed up to open the safe, so the guy left not one BUT TWO PHONE NUMBERS to call him back. Of course, they called the cops instead who met the robber when he returned later. Dumbass!
Here's more from the Chicago Tribune:

The incident started about 8 a.m., when the masked man, armed with a revolver, came in to Velasquez Mufflers For Less at 2600 N. Laramie Ave. and began demanding money, said Jose Sida, 37, a mechanic.
Employees told him they had little money and couldn't open the safe, so the man left two phone numbers for them to call when the owner returned with the combination, Sida said. "He said, 'You guys better call me because otherwise I'm going to come back to shoot you,'" Sida said. Instead, an employee called Chicago police.
Officers dressed in plainclothes came to the shop and told employees to call the man, Sida said. The man returned about noon, wearing the same mask and black clothing and officers told the employees to get to the back of the shop, Sida said.
A police source said the teen pulled a gun from his hooded sweat shirt and at least one officer opened fire. Zarate's injury was not thought to be life-threatening, the source said.
Mark Payne, a spokesman for the Independent Police Review Authority, said the man was treated at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center for a gunshot wound. He said his agency was investigating the police-involved shooting but said that the inquiry would take six months to complete and that he could not release any details.
