The Lineup: OFFICER Magazine's Favorite Dumb Criminal Stories of 2024
Not every lawbreaker police encounter is a criminal mastermind. For every Hans Gruber from Die Hard with ambitious schemes that can only be stopped by an overachieving off-duty police officer, there are twice as many Harry and Marvs from Home Alone, who can be foiled by an abandoned kid with a chip on his shoulder. The final installment of OFFICER Magazine's end-of-the-year episodes takes a look at our favorite stupid criminals of 2024 and the exploits that found a place in our hearts. Or at least our funny bones. Our biggest lesson from 2024 to pass along: Bathrooms and crawl spaces are terrible hiding spots.
