It's always dumber.
The man is young, greedy for the brand new smartphone model in the shop window and lets go of the expensive piece.
He had thought it over cleverly.
The part of the exhibition does not have any security labels.
Shortly afterwards, the theft is noticed and the staff is annoyed.
This anger turns into schadenfreude when the guy in question returns frantically the next day, shows his smartphone and asks for a SIM card.
At home, the - apparently complete beginner - had discovered that the exhibit was inoperable.
“Stupid as it was, he's coming back to our shop!” The salesman in the electronics store reports with amusement how such episodes make everyday working life more colorful. Even the would-be thieves, who amateurishly try to wrap the security clips with crackling aluminum foil between the camera-monitored rows of shelves in order to trick the cash register alarm, he does not leave out and explains that the inventory differences in the retail trade amount to 4.4 billion euros annually. The surrounding customers sit up and google on the subject of stupid crimes. You come across clients who order crimes in writing and file the receipt.
The nervous bank robber who hits the cash register computer and causes a total failure in the system.
Construction site thieves who get stuck in the freight elevator.
A cell phone thief who is asked to rendezvous via text message and, instead of a woman who likes to flirt, meets officials with handcuffs.
The police also showed up at a spontaneous barbecue that a 33-year-old had invited his neighborhood to after hundreds of schnitzel and meatballs were stolen from a nearby snack bar.

Amused, the shoppers line up in the checkout line.
Nobody wants to be more stupid than the police allow.
