Super enjoyable selection of short stories that entail some of history's dumbest but most entertaining crimes committed!
Definitely a fun book to read for something different, as well as to learn some interesting history facts.

Super interesting and written with a sense of humor

[Jillian Pogoda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Exactly what the cover proclaims it to be. I’d already heard of some of the cases but most of them were new to me and quite entertaining.

These are not dumb crimes. Florida Man crimes are dumb.

Collection of colorful comic crime capers

Calling half these crimes dumb was a stretch considering most of them actually initially got away with it or were never caught. Some of them were pretty dumb though
