We imagine that police investigations aren’t exactly easy. But we found some that, if we were cops, would make us question our own sanity.

A guy breaks into museums to hang his own art. A group of thieves steal an entire bridge. Some heists are just too weird to not love.

We have to admit, we don’t feel good about laughing at these scams. But we don’t exactly feel bad, either.

We will never, ever get tired of reading stories about inept criminals. They’re like a wonderful gag gift, wrapped in stupid.

Yeah, chances are you're never going to be kidnapped. But it never hurts to know some sweet tricks just in case.

We're not sure which would be more surprising: the fact that you were about to be murdered, or that the weapon was cartoon levels of weird.

Some products are too worthless for even a shoplifter to bother with. But organized crime doesn't see it that way.

Sometimes, the most creative, sharp-witted rogues are actually sitting with a gavel in their hand.

Why carry all those heavy bags of money when computers exist? That's just wasted energy.

Some people just sidestep counterfeiting cash, which is hard, and counterfeit random things they can sell for cash, which can be way easier ... and way weirder.
