Google helps burglars rob $12000

This story just goes to prove how helpful Google can be, so next time whether you are planning to rob some one or just trying to pick a pocket, make sure you carry a phone/pda that has internet access.

All I can say is, The Big G rocks :lol:

The burglary at Bigg City, formerly Mr. Bigg’s Family Fun Center, turned into a comedy of errors early June 10. The burglars tried to disable a security camera by repeatedly spraying it with WD-40 — it only cleaned the lens — and spent an hour and 15 minutes trying to open three safes, apparently unaware that some types require the dial to be turned two or three times.

They finally did a Google search for “how to open a safe” and “how to crack a safe” on a computer in the next room.

“They’re not professional safe people,” said Colorado Springs police detective Chuck Ackerman. “No, they’re not.”

On the other hand, the Google query apparently worked: The burglars haven’t been caught, and they did get about $12,000.

  1. WOW! This is pretty interesting. I once read a similar joke, actually it was a funny image, where there was a surgeon trying to operate someone and got stuck.. saying to his assistant, go to Google and search for ‘How to do a heart surgery’ :razz:

  2. I guess this will no longer be a joke as more and more young kids turn to crime for money and google for help to make those crimes possible.
