Dude tries to hide from cops in suitcase ... failure.

1:16 PM Thu, Jan 29, 2009 |

I don't know the best hiding spot for someone on the run from Johnny Law.

But I'm pretty sure I know of a bad one: inside a suitcase.

That is, unless you have a really, really big person-shaped suitcase or really, really bendy legs.

Anyway, some dude in Colorado who was wanted on two misdemeanor warrants ignored my sage advice and stuffed himself in some luggage in a bid to hide from the cops, the Rocky Mountain News reports.

Sinister squirrel strikes again! NOOOOOOO!

Never mind the financial crisis. Forget about terrorists. There are more pressing things to worry about ... And they come in small, furry packages.

Every time you walk outside, pure, unadulterated, bushy-tailed evil is watching you with its beady little eyes, waiting for its time to strike.

I'm talking, of course, about squirrels.

How not to steal purses from TJ Maxx

A comically unlucky purse thief in Florida delivered a spot-on tutorial on how not to commit a crime this week.

According to WINK News, the bad girl sauntered into a TJ Maxx and started stuffing expensive purses down her pants.

Police said the sinister bag lady then hobbled out to her getaway car, but when she managed to lug her purse-on into the seat, she fell right back out and was promptly run over.

D'oh!

But the karma police weren't done with her yet.

Robber mistakes water department for bank ... oops

An attempted robbery ended up a wash in Kentucky after a would-be crook mistakenly tried to hold up the water department, the Lexington Herald-Ledger reports.

You know, because in the criminal world, he was a little wet behind the ears.

*Cue a flood of laughter*

Karma totally rained on his parade.

... Water jokes are fun.

Anyway, it looks like the guy just didn't do his homework, because the building used to be a bank.

But by the time he got there, it was the Jessamine South Elkhorn Water District.

Smart guy waits in line with toy gun, ski mask to rob bank

Just because you're a big bad crook doesn't mean can't be polite ... But it does mean you're not very smart.

Need proof and/or a hearty laugh?

Behold: Exhibit A, a bumbling bank-robbing baddie in Ohio.

According to the Associated Press, this sinister smartypants stood in line at a bank wearing a ski mask before holding the place up.

You know, because the best way to go undetected in a bank is to dress up like a bandit. Awesome. I'm sure no one noticed.

Plenty of people have dreamed of being a ski bum, but that dream became a nightmare for an unlucky dude in Colorado over New Year's.

The 48-year-old skier was hitting the slopes at Vail's Blue Sky Basin when he was unceremoniously depantsed by a high-speed ski lift, thesmokinggun.com reports.

Yoink!

Cops: Man super-glued noisy neighbor's door shut

Mister Rogers was always asking people to be his neighbor.

But I don't think Mister Rogers ever knew Richard Nunez.

You see, Nunez wasn't able to play nice with the dude who lived next to him in New Hampshire.

Instead of changing his sweater and taking a trip to the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, police said Nunez put on his party-pooping pants and super-glued his neighbor's door shut on New Year's, Seacoastonline.com reports.

Meet the Martha Stewart of malted hops

So much for 99 bottles of beer on the wall.

A dude in Denver has 15,569 beers on his. BOOYA!

John Bird, known to his friends as "Birdweiser," has turned his Colorado apartment into a shrine for the King of Beers, MyFoxColorado.com reports.

Birdweiser told MyFoxColorado the whole foamy, frothy fiasco started four years ago when a friend told him he should use all of his discarded brewskis as decorations. (That's what friends are for, right?)

Now, he's like the Martha Stewart of malted hops.
