thief stuffs guitar into pants, walks away

I have posted several stories about stupid criminals. Here is one who may have been stupid, but it worked.

In Lewiston, ME a man stuck a full-sized
Fender Stratocaster electric guitar (see picture) into his pants and successfully made it out of the store. Surveillance cameras showed the man shove the guitar into his pants while his two friends kept watch.

Even more remarkable is the fact that the same man tried the same trick back in 2006 and was caught while leaving the store.

of course, it wasn't too smart to do this trick in the same store as before... because now the police know exactly who they are looking for.
