Life in the Land of Dreamy Dreams

… and sometimes that’s a good time (like this story) but all too often it’s that they don’t/can’t think and just pull out a gun instead.

I much prefer these sort of white trash idiots:

(condensed from the Times-Picayune):

After allegedly stealing $5,000 from the Slidell convenience store where she worked, a Mississippi woman and her husband began a month-long escape, traversing three Southern states.

The pair began running from the law after Lisa Wade, then the clerk at the Circle K store at 1150 Front St., took about $5,000 on Feb. 15, police said. Keith Wade previously had been fired from the Circle K.

The convenience store’s security camera recorded Wade stuffing money into her pockets and showed her husband, who had been banned from the store, arriving shortly thereafter, police said.

The Wades, who later told police they’d thrown out their phones because they thought they could be used to track their whereabouts, had forgotten to delete text messages that discussed the heist, police said.

After paying for the van, new tires, hotels and food, they had run their funds dry. So, they headed to Opelika, Ala., to see Keith’s brother, who was a pastor at a local church, police said.

But when they arrived in Opelika, they discovered his brother no longer lived in the area.

On Monday, Lisa Wade waited in the van while her husband walked into Opelika’s DMV to renew his driver’s license. A red flag popped up on the department’s computers.

So let’s see:
1)Steal $5k
2)Spend $5k+ to try to escape being caught with the $5k
3)Get arrested and have bail set at $7.5k

Brilliant!
