Here's another addition to the dumb burglar list. Police were investigating a break-in at a Fred Meyer store in northeast Seattle two weeks ago. They followed a trail of stolen pillows and backpacks, which led them to two sleeping men, one snoozing in a stolen hammock, the other on a pile of stolen pillows. Police photographed the men before waking and arresting them. Both men were charged with second-degree burglary. Police say alcohol was a factor. (Via KING5.com)

Alcohol was a factor? Ummm... yeah. I'd say so. They should've stolen camouflage sleeping bags. Now that would've been thinking.

That is classic. Passed out when the cops arrive to bust them for theft. They should have just slept inside the store on a demo bed.

Since when was Monroe "northeast Seattle"?

since Seattle appointed itself the official 'Center of the Universe' ;) Siberia is Ultra northeast Seattle now. (How's the war going over in Eastern Seattle formerly known as Iraq?)

Wow -- talk about stupid! I do find it humorous that they chose bright fuchsia pillows.
