Someone set us up the bomb

[christopher575]

A few months ago at my last job, they handed out a bomb threat checklist and asked us all to keep it near our phones. It was so silly that I figured it had to be an internal creation. Later, I googled "bomb threat checklist" and found that it's pretty much a standard form. Looks like it comes from ATF, even though they no longer host it online. I want all of you to print this form and keep it handy. If you don't have it, and receive a bomb threat, you may forget to ask the caller's name and address. They'll certainly give this information to you, so if you forget to ask, you're hampering the investigation.

I've read interviews with cops who have said one of the reasons people turn to crime is because they're stupid. I wish the news would profile more stupid criminal stories.

I loved the story about the guy who had his cell phone stolen, and because he still had access to his account for the phone, he could get all his voice mail and managed to track the kid's e-mail and myspace account down, and posted the info on his blog. Everyone reading his blog then went and harassed the kid and made fun of him for weeks. It was awesome.

Once I witnessed a kid, in broad daylight, running out of a shoe store being chased by the old lady who worked there. He'd run in there, bare faced - no mask - demanded money from the cash register and sprayed the clerk with pepper spray when she said no. Then he ran out and jumped into the car that was full of easily identifiable people waiting for him, right in front of a big crowd of people (one of whom had a camera, of course), and they drove away. And just went home. The cops had their license plate number and of course they just looked up their address. When the cops arrived, they found them just sitting at home, and arrested them within an hour of the crime.
