POINCIANA, Fla. (AP) — Two people in Florida were arrested after one of them made a 911 call to get help with moving their belongings from a home they were burglarizing, authorities said.

Deputies responded to a home Saturday after a 911 call was made but nobody spoke, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said. At the home, the deputies concluded that nobody lived there, but they found a male suspect and his girlfriend inside the home after entering it through an unlocked door.

Deputies had been searching for the male suspect after identifying him from security video as a burglar at a Dollar General store in Poinciana, Florida, where several items were stolen earlier in the day, the sheriff’s office said in a statement. Poinciana is about 35 miles (55 kilometers) south of Orlando.

While talking to deputies, the female suspect told them that she had called 911 for the purpose of having law enforcement help them move their belongings from the house they were burglarizing. They also wanted to get a ride to the airport so they could spend the weekend in New York, the sheriff’s office said.

As to human stupidity....the only thing that comes to mind was a saying allegedly attributed to Einstein:

"Two things are infinite: The universe and human stupidity; and I'm not so sure about the universe"

I think they just proved his theory smiley

@Steinkopff Years ago on some idiot criminal show, I saw 2 officers knock on a door they told the man who answered the door that they were investigating because they had a report that someone there was a cultivator and could they come in and search and right after they walked through the door they could see a very bright light coming from a near bedroom, they walked in and there were grow lights and a couple of dozen pot plants. as they were arresting him they asked why he let them search the place after being told they were looking for a cultivator and he said: "But I ain't no cultivator, I'm presbyterian."

Smart and clever burglars are tougher to catch and prosecute.
There's far more stupid criminal than dumb cops.

As a Cop said so some Moonshiners:
"You guys need to be lucky all the time, I need to be lucky just one time..."

Stupid comes in all colours and flavours- it´s just nice watching from the relative cleverness of my couch.

@M3g4m1nd I don't want to seem cruel, as I am only repeating what a lawyer said once in a documentary I watched years ago, He said, "Well it is Flori-duh".
