A man in California has been arrested and sentenced to five years in prison. This is not unusual; however, the cause is more idiotic than unusual. What was the cause, one might ask? Well, he stole four women’s purses over the course of two weeks and used that score to buy a number of PlayStation 3 games from a Target in Vista, California. He also bought mobiles, televisions and iPods.
Where it gets stupid, though, is that Rodelio Cataroja, Jr. used the same store to buy the same brand (PlayStation 3) in a total of four transactions.
Whoopsidoodle.
That would have alerted the store’s guard, let alone the cops. I don’t exactly understand on how a guy like him who was intelligent enough to steal credit cards actually made a stupid mistake of making a number of transactions from the same store, but clearly, I’m not a criminal mastermind like Cataroja.
Of course, there’s a fairly large amount of people not in jail that are also not criminal masterminds like Cataroja.
