Pick your criminal mastermind of the week, from the following list of candidates:
Austin, Texas. "A man dressed as a clown threatened to burn down a liquor store in downtown Austin. Ted Stewart, 44, became upset when a store clerk ... refused to sell him liquor because the clerk believed Steward was too intoxicated." (Statesman.com)
Marion County, Florida. "Five people accused of robbing a home ... admit the stole and snorted what they thought was cocaine. Turns out, the powder was actually the ashes of a woman's father, and her two Great Danes." (wcjb.com)
Lexington, N.C. "(Lonnie) Felts called 911 three times ... Felts requested 'a hooker, and an escort to get boots." (dispatch.com)
There are more. Sadly, (but rewardingly!) I come across such instances every day. PS, I vote for the second one.
