Minnesota burglar wins title of ‘world’s dumbest criminal’ after he meets his victim to get back wet clothes he left at his house

A burglar from Minnesota recievd the prestigious title of “world’s dumbest criminal” after logging into his Facebook profile at the home he was burglarizing. What’s worse is he chose to return to the crime scene to collect some clothes he’d left after the victim contacted him through the social media platform.

Nicholas Wig, 26, was arrested on burglary charges after breaking into a home in South St. Paul on June 19th 2014 according to CBS Minnesota. While the story is old it’s certainly a classic. The homeowner, James Wood, returned to find his house had been ransacked by the thief, while he initially panicked over the situation, he quickly found a solution to his problem, “But then I noticed he had pulled up his Facebook profile.”
