Some turn to a life of crime because they know no other way, others to try and make a fast buck. But apparently some are just to dumb to do anything else, take for instance the Mensa candidates that walked into the San Bruno Police Department this morning.
First off the two guys and a girl walk in and try to get back their impounded van, sadly they forgot to bring any proof of ownership and the van is not registered under any of their names.
Next, as the police are working behind their little Plexiglas barricade, the three start talking (loudly) about different super interesting things going on in their lives. Like how someone they know apparently owes them some money. Now I'm sitting in the middle of the room against the wall, the woman is seated to my left and the two guys are seated farther away on my right side. So their discussion is being yelled over my head, as I patiently go through the press log and try not to laugh. I'm not totally paying attention to the conversation (I do have a job to do) when I hear the woman say, in all seriousness, "Well then lets rob 'em."
I look over to the guys who are staring at her like she's suddenly sprouted a golden horn out of her forehead. "What?" She said, "It's not like they can hear us."
Genius, lets propose larceny in the Police Station.
Sadly I had to leave before I was able to hear the rest of their plan. I'm sure it would have made MacGuyver proud though.

"Now I'm sitting in the middle of the room against the wall," now that is a slice of fried golden description right there.(S)
They may have also been "too" dumb to do anything else!
Wait. What are you doing in a police station? Did I not get the non fiction memo?
Love your title…I think that should be my slogan…
