That’s nice. Being Dutch myself, I have heard of many English expressions using “Dutch” (and most are not that flattering) but this one I didn’t know. Yes, as a kid I played rope skipping a lot (not that I was very good at it ;-)
my favorite stupid criminal was caught on tape; an armored car was making a delivery, one guard was taking the money into the bank, one was staying with the car whose back door was open; the criminal came up behind him stuck a gun in his back and told him to leave, he ran off camera. the criminal jumped in the back, the guard came up and locked the door.i imagine when the second guard came back the first told him they had one more delivery to make…
There are many examples of dumb criminals stories to choose from, but here are a couple of good ones:.Oklahoma City: Dennis Newton was on trial for the armed robbery of a convenience store in a district court when he fired his lawyer. Assistant district attorney Larry Jones said Newton, 47, was doing a fair job of defending himself until the store manager testified that Newton was the robber. Newton jumped up, accused the woman of lying and then said, “I should of blown your (expletive) head off.” The defendant paused, then quickly added, “if I’d been the one that was there.” The jury took 20 minutes to convict Newton and recommended a 30 year sentence..Colorado Springs: A guy walked into a little corner store with a shot gun and demanded all the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but he refused and said “Because I don’t believe you are over 21.” The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because he didn’t believe him. At this point the robber took his driver’s license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over, and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and he put the scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.
Here’s another goodie. In Washington state, a guy tried to rob a gun store full of customers with a police car parked outside. It did not end well for the thief. :-)

@Bruno Zeigert: In the version I heard (when photos were still analog) there where 49.700 more photos of the accused/culprit.
