Stupid People Blog: Confessing to Theft

Sometimes the stupidity of people simply amaze me.  Seriously.  Example:

A couple appeared on an episode of the TV show titled “Shoplifting Confessions” Nov. 19, saying they were “professional shoplifters” who have amassed nearly $1 million in stolen goods, according to the show’s Web site. They were identified as Laura and a man who used the names Matthew and Allen.

And of course the next step is …

A spokesman for the San Diego Regional Fraud Task Force, which conducted the raid on the house on the 1400 block of Leslie Court on Thursday, wouldn’t disclose the reason for the raid or if it was connected to the TV show.

Really?  They didnt’ see that coming?  Honestly, how can people be smart enough to steal millions of dollars worth of goods but too dumb to hire a lawyer and learn about statute of limitations?
