And the world’s dumbest criminal award definitely goes to this guy!

Imagine being dubbed 'Pretoria’s Dumbest Criminal' just 10 days into 2017?
Well, this car guard from Pretoria has taken the title hands down.
The story is that the 22-year-old owner of the car had difficulties locking his car but decided to leave it unlocked as he ran into the shop “quick, quick”.

When he returned, he found an unknown man inside his car searching for stuff to steal. He used his car remote to lock the 33-year-old car guard inside until the police came.
It annoys me that we work so hard to afford all the stuff we have just to have criminals think it’s okay to steal from us?!
