Dopey thief who decided to rob gas station immediately after filling in a job application

A 33-year-old man allegedly robbed a petrol station having just left them details of his name and address.

Dim-witted Anthony Thomas had moments earlier filled out an application form for a job at the station before dipping his hand into the til.

The ill-thought-out robbery was caught on the gas station's CCTV. The footage clearly showed the thief taking wads of notes out of an open til drawer while the cashier attended to other business in the store.

Will he sue the station owners for discrimination when they refuse to give him the job?

Back when I lived in a smallish city in NM, a good friend of ours had a low-life and none too bright brother.

One day he wore a mask and robbed the local bank, writing the demand for money on a deposit slip.

Unfortunately for him, it was a personalized deposit slip from his own checkbook.

Cops were waiting for him when he got home.

Something tells me he didn’t really want the job.

Thomas allegedly said: 'I didn't rob no store,' according to the news service.

That tricky double-negative. I guess he is admitting he DID rob the store!

It’s good to see stuff like this isn’t limited to South Carolina....

Employers can’t ask about criminal history anymore, so this shouldn’t be a problem.

He was just demonstrating his initiative and aggressiveness.

This could be the start of a "stupid criminals" thread.
When I first moved to Louisiana, this idiot robbed a small bank on the north shore of Lake Ponchartrain. He chose the Lake Ponchartrain Causeway as his escape route. The bridge is 24 miles long and there is no way off until you get to the south shore. The police were waiting for him when he got there.

How many milli-seconds after this story broke did Nancy Pelosi try to recruit him for her think tank?

He’s From Ocala Fl. The poor guy was just needing some pre-riot cash to buy supplies before the Zimmerman Not guilty verdict.

Well, the DOJ did say it’s racist to ask an applicant if they have a record, so yes, he may sue if he’s denied a job.
