Our Favorite Robbery Fails

Some criminals are good at what they do. Others, no so much. Fortunately for us, the worst robbers are caught on security cameras as they botch their plans and pave their way to a jail sentence. Here are 10 of our favorite robbery fail videos.

Let's start with the robbery fail that's been making the rounds lately. This guy fails on many levels. He can't break the glass door. He forgets to put on his mask. He falls when he's running away from the scene of the crime. And he's running away from the scene of the crime that he couldn't even commit.

Look, we understand, when you have beer in your possession you can't wait to get it home and start drinking it. But please, take your time on the way to the car or else you could get distracted and ruin everything. Extra LOLz on account of this dude almost losing his pants in his mad scramble to safety.

First this guy falls through the ceiling and nearly knocks himself out from the fall.  In order to escape, he tries to crawl back through his ceiling hole only to fall again and shatter more merchandise. It all ends with a cigarette break and a surrender on the floor.

Short but sweet. Robber runs into store ready to rob. Robber pulls out gun. Gun slips out of robber's hands and right into the hands of the store owner. Robber flees in terror.

This moron decided to try to rob a gas station in broad daylight. Without a weapon. In front of other customers. ONE OF WHOM WAS A UNIFORMED COP. Customers continue to pay as the robbery is in progress and the cashier was laughing as he handed over the cash because the felon didn't see the police officer who was about to arrest him until he finally turned around for his getaway.

Note to all you wanna-be criminals out there. When you're robbing a store at gun-point, be sure not to put your gun down on the counter right in front of the cashier. It probably won't end well for you.

When your hat doesn't fit, it can really be a detriment to the surprise factor. It's pretty hard to catch the cashier off guard when you have to walk around trying to get your mask on for 30 seconds before you can threaten them.

Not sure why these guys are trying to steal sofas (Ikea couches are like 7 bucks) but since they are, they probably should have made sure that their van could fit sofas inside of it. Since it couldn't, the manager had plenty of time to come out and catch the sofa bandits and yank the two sofas out of the van before they sped off.
