Dumbest Thief Ever

They caught the guy who stole World Series rings from the Phillies offices. Here's how:

Matthew Mervine, 22, of Berlin Borough made detectives' work easy, because, not only was he videotaped stealing the rings, he had just left his real name, address and phone numbers on a job application, police said....

Apparently, Mervine, who wore a rubber skull mask to yesterday's game against the Rockies, found his way to the Phillies offices after being kicked out of the game with other fans who were being too boisterous, police said.

It's not generally a good idea to leave your name at a crime scene.
