Publisher Description
Straight from police blotters across the country, The Stupid Crook Book chronicles idiotic criminals and their foiled attempts to turn a quick buck or cause general mischief. In this hilarious volume, witness stories about dopey crooks such as: - A former convict robs a bar to get cash to feed his drug habit. Unfortunately, he lives above the bar in question, and the victim of his crime-his landlord! - A man is stopped for speeding in Oklahoma and pleads with the officer not to give him a ticket, IF he finds drugs in the car. - A pizza delivery guy is robbed of his pizza by two men-the same two men who called in the pizza order. - A neat-freak thief leaves his personalized shoeshine rag at the scene of the crime. - ... and more! Leland Gregory presents tales of clumsy crooks who are more likely to shoot themselves before getting their guns out. Funny, and kind of sad, The Stupid Crook Book is a treat for young adult listeners.

The Stupid Crook Book Listener Reviews

" A bunch of enjoyable anecdotes about the stupidest, clumsiest, unluckiest criminals in the world. Pretty quick read. It's a good book for bathroom reading. "

" Very light reading but a cute diversion! "
— Sandy, 12/2/2013 -
" Probably 2.5 stars. Fun, but nothing deep. I would have liked it more without the so-called humorous comments after every entry. "

" like the darwin books, it's hard to believe that people are really this stupid. i mean, they are all crooks in this book....like the dude that robbed a gas station and left his license on the counter.....moron. "

" It's like Darwin Awards for criminals. You'll laugh your head off one minute, then be horrified that people this stupid exist in the same species as you the next. Lots of fun. "

" ok first off, the book was too darn long, I got tired of reading about all the stupid criminals in the world (where did he find them all?). some were interesting but it just got old after awhile. his sense of humor put him in the same category as the criminals themselves, I mean he's off the wall! "

" I enjoy ironic justice. People who do stupid stuff while committing crime are hysterically funny. "
