Dumb Criminals: Florida Man Robbed Gas Station While Applying For A Job

The number one rule of a robbery is never leave anything behind that could identify you, yet Florida thieves lately are having a hard time following that simple guideline.

Anthony Thomas is accused of stealing from a gas station in Ocala. How did cops find him? Oh, he left behind a job application filled out with all the correct information.

Thomas had been a regular customer at Martin Oil, according to Click Orlando. He went in this week to fill out a job application. It isn't clear whether that was a ruse for the theft or simply killing two birds with one stone. However, when the clerk turned his back on an open cash register, Thomas reached over the counter, grabbed the money, and ran.
