15 Criminals Who Got Caught By Bragging About Their Crimes

One thing I've learned researching this article is that if you're going to lay a bunch of deadly traps along a hiking trail in the woods with the intent or hurting or killing strangers, then don't. Like, just don't do that. I'm not even going to explain why.

But if you've already done it, then sure, go ahead and post pictures of the traps and your ugly mug with a big dumbass grin online because clearly good decisions aren't your forte.

Siphoning gas from a cop car is the perfect crime, because reasons. Just look at that guy. Check out that protruding middle finger. Man, you are punk rock as s**t.

After being arrested, Baker posted the Facebook comment "yea lol I went to jail over Facebook."

Now, to clarify -- in case Michael is reading -- no you didn't, dude. You went to jail over stealing from a police officer. You got caught because of Facebook. You idiot.

After being accused of "rape by force" (as opposed to rape by… um… gentleness?) Dustin McCombs took umbrage with the police department labeling him the "creep of the week" and decided to troll them on Facebook.


Haha, this dumbass writes his own captions.

Shortly after the above conversation, Dustin was caught. Obviously.

Tattoos as a symbol of status and accomplishments is a tradition that dates back hundreds of years, but I'm not one to point out an old tradition and call it silly or stupid. But if you murder somebody, and then tattoo that incident on your own chest, I'm pretty comfortable calling you stupid. If you take this one step further and imagine yourself as a helicopter and your enemy as a peanut, then I'm going to take back my earlier comment because you're a pretty crazy dude and I don't wanna mess with you.


Does that helicopter have a mouth?

According to the Daily Mail, the cops had given up on ever solving that case until an investigator familiar with the area said "holy crap, you tattooed a confession on your chest didn't you. Wow, man. Wow."

That's a paraphrase.

You're not fooling anyone with your fake last name, boy-o. People on Facebook still know who you are. But congratulations on getting six people to like your stupid-ass post, you seem like a charismatic fellow.

Oh, wait, you beat up your friend's father with a baseball bat? Now I remember why I'm making fun of you.
