Sweet Tooth... or is that Teeth

Some criminals are so dumb that they make you want to grab them by the collar and say, "DUDE! Don't do it like that, LET ME GIVE YOU SOME POINTERS SO YOU DON'T GET CAUGHT."

Ahem.

An 18-year-old high school student in the USA got hold of his school's purchasing number and used it to order confectionary online.

He probably would have gotten away with it except for the sheer amount - he ordered $37,000 worth. Predictably, the company phoned the school to confirm that they ordered that much and wanted it delivered to a home address.

In cooperation with the police, they delivered the boy an empty box. The boy was then delivered to a cell.

I don't think that the USA has lockups for dumb people, but perhaps they should.
