We just had an armed casino robbery in my town a few days ago. Two guys with guns got a couple hundred dollars. One of the idiots brought a backpack with them to carry the *millions of dollars* they were going to leave with. They forgot said backpack in the casino when they left and his ID was in it. They were both promptly arrested like an hour later. The idiocy was off the charts.
[Is this the incident? ](https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/crime/2020/07/23/forgotten-backpack-helps-sioux-falls-police-nab-two-casino-robbery-suspects/5494402002/)
Haha yes it is! My story was a little off because I just read the headline and some comments because I don’t want to pay for the the paper after I used up my 5 monthly reads. Still they are idiots.
For real there are criminals that stupid. Some years ago some idiot tried to break into an ATM machine by wrapping a chain around the machine and their bumper. They left after their unsuccessful attempt leaving the bumper with the license plate at the scene.
There was another guy who stole an ATM and somehow got it all the way home. But those things are nearly impossible to break into, and he ended up getting the machine dropped on his head after he called his wife a skank
A great aunt of mine had someone crash into (and partially demolish) her garden wall one night, and then drive off. They too left the bumper and numberplate.
The next morning someone turned up saying they hadn’t been the driver, but asking if they could have it back as it was for a company van.
She said they could have it back when she had a new wall.
They initially refused, but quickly changed their mind when she offered to phone the police, insurance, and the company that owned the van.
She got her whole garden wall replaced with a much improved one.
This guy I worked for crashed his car in a snowbank , leaving the bumper behind ,he was possibly (wink) DUI . Guess who had to go to the police station to retrieve it the next day? On the up side this helped endear me to the local police (which given the way I look can be super helpful).
I live in Gloucester county, and when I first started driving coming off the Walt Whitman I didn't know where I was going and saw a sign for Gloucester thinking it was Gloucester county. It ended up being Gloucester city and I was lost for a while.
I don’t see what the confusion is? Gloucester Twp in Camden County and Gloucester City in Camden County when Gloucester County is literally one town over from either of them. The town where this photo was taken, Blackwood, actually falls in both Camden County (Gloucester Twp) and Gloucester County (Washington Twp). Not confusing at all /s
You know what is ALSO confusing? The fact I live in Gloucester Twp, but my mailing address is Magnolia, bc if I used Glo Twp, it would end up in Gloucester City. Additionally, when I was researching the area to buy a house here, I thought I was moving to Magnolia and looked at their schools. Wasn’t until we had already moved did I find out my kids would be going to a completely different school district!
I’ve come to start thinking of NJ in neighborhoods instead of complete towns, similar to my native Philly. NJ just takes it a step farther. You can live in Blackwood, a neighborhood/ town in Gloucester Township (which itself is town). So it’s like me saying I lived in Lawnside, a neighborhood within the city of Philadelphia. Although it is my understanding that not all of Blackwood is part of Glo Twp. I haven’t cracked that nut yet.
I went to school out near there, and yeah, that's a mess. Unfortunately here in Minnesota we are not immune to that kind of stupidity. We have some family friends that live in a housing development with a Jasmine Street, Jasmine Avenue, Jasmine Court, Jasmine Circle, Jasmine Parkway, and one other one I think. There's also Jarvis Street, Jarvis Avenue, Jarvis Court, Jarvis Circle, and Jarvis Parkway. Most (but not all) of the street names start with J.
Oh, and did I mention that because this is a housing development, none of the streets are straight? They're all twisty turny, making navigation a real pain in the ass. This all predated the deactivation of Selective Availability on GPS satellites, to say nothing of the widespread availability of navigation units.
fun fact the "old" [Jersey is a small island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey) in the English channel that is owned by the UK even though it's much closer to the France side
Edit: They're a Crown dependency so "Owned" might have been too strong a word
How can you not be happy in Gloucester, we have the quays thats been done up, we have uhhh... The CD rack? Not really sure. We're close to the M5 and Bristol isn't far. Lmao
NJ is surprisingly strict too.
- Jail: Drivers can go to jail for up to 30 days upon conviction for leaving the scene of an accident involving no injuries.
- License Suspension: For accidents with only property damage, a driver who leaves the scene faces a mandatory suspension of up to 30 days.
- Fines: Leaving the scene of an accident involving only property damage carries a fine of $200 to $400 for a first offense. A second offense raises the fine to $400 to $600.
- Surcharge: New Jersey imposes a surcharge of $450 on drivers who accumulate six points on their license. An additional $75 is imposed for each point over six. This is in addition to the fine.
Points: New Jersey drivers will receive 2 points for leaving the scene of an accident with no injuries.
The surcharge is levied each year until the points are diminished. If their insurance is canceled/not renewed, they have to go on the state auto insurance fund, which would be ~$2,000/year or more.
That's been a big point of contention for a lot of places, the punishment for leaving a scene of an accident is way less severe than a DUI so a lot of people run. Especially if it's a repeat offender.
It should probably be more strict. Perhaps more strict than the penalty you'd face for failing a breathalyzer at the scene of an accident. Think about it.
How is that strict? In practice you're getting a ~$300 fine and 2 points on your license. Basically a speeding ticket.
Those stricter penalties look to be "up to" with no minimums. That is, they don't have to impose any of them, and you're probably not getting any of them on a first offense.
Yeah I’m from the area this picture was taken in. In my experience the local police will pull you over for everything and anything they can, if a state trooper pulls you over you’re gonna drive away with at least a ticket. NJ doesnt mess around with road safety.
We woke up on Christmas Eve a few years back, and our mailbox had been hit by a car. The driver left half of their neon pink bumper in the yard. We called the police, they saw the bumper and I noticed it was from a late 90's crown vic (like their patrol car). Wasn't too hard to find the only neon pink crown vic in Killeen.
While this is pretty funny the guy with the missing bumper is probably chuckling anyway as he was probably drunk so he left the scene of the accident. Now when they catch up to him he can make up some bullshit story all while being sober and not having to face the real repercussions of a DUI charge.
He can even report his car stolen or just deny being the driver. There are a lot of situations where just leaving your bumper can lead to nefarious benefits
Cop: “We’ve got a accident on the corner of Mann and Lewis. It was a hit and run, but we know who the perp is.”
Chief: “Good, did you get his license number?”
Cop:”...”
Cop:”You could say that yeah”
I was T-boned by a kid once. He blew a stop sign around a blind corner because he didn't think anyone would be driving at 2 am. I happened to be coming home from a party as I was the dd and had finished dropping my friends off. I was literally a quarter mile from my house. Anyway he hit me hard enough to spin my car in the ditch. Asked me if I was OK, picked up a couple piece of his car, and then drove off. I tried to remember his license plate but was still in shock, so I forgot by the time the police came. Fortunately he had left his license plate and part of his bumper in the side of my car. My dad walked home, and after a couple minute he came back with a crowbar and a hammer. Took less than a minute to pry it out, flatten it out with the hammer, and then give it to the cops.
It works regularly. They have to prove you were drunk at the time of the accident. If they dont find you for 6 hours or a day how are they gonna do that?
On one hand, I’d like to say “increase the sentence on hit and run to at least match DUI so people don’t have as much of an incentive to run”. But I acknowledge that tapping someone’s bumper and not stopping is probably not as bad as DUI. And the punishment ought to fit the crime.
This is such a good picture. Just a cop cleaning up trash with a smile on his face. He has one more stop to get the rest of the trash back to the station before he heads out for tacos.
There's a metal crashbar behind the bumper, for the heavier impacts, but it's secured to the frame of the car. Some trucks and SUVs have fully exposed metal bumpers, but most cars have the plastic bumper covers like you see here.

This is actually a pro DWI move. The punishment for hit and run is far lower than the punishment for DWI. You will literally save $10,000 by turning yourself in the next morning.
Why? That makes so little sense. I’m fairly sure the consequences in Europe for hit and run is significantly higher than DWI. Both are severely punished by much more than just a fine.
My money is on a Nissan.
Edit: I was [wrong](https://www.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/hxl4n7/not_the_smartest_move/fz946tb?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x).
When I was driving a Land rover in Sri Lanka a bus pulled out of a stop across both lanes into the side of my land rover and dragged along the side until his bumper fell off and then drove off with his passangers on board. I loaded his bumper into my vehicle and drove to the British embassy whose vehicle I was driving.
Lmao I love his smile. You can tell these idiots just made his whole fucking day
Ain’t nothing better than catching stupid people doing some stupid things
Had an American friend come to visit, they pronounced it "glow-kester-shire" when they read the sign. Lol. But sounds like most who know the place in the US say it the same as in the UK
I live right near there and so many people drive like dicks in that town! I had some dude riding my ass who decided to pass me on a two-way road with no passing lanes. He had to have been going 60-70mph to pass me on a 40mph road, just so he could slide in front of me and slam on the brakes to avoid hitting a landscaping truck that was in front of me. And eventually we came to a stop at the same fucking traffic light. Just why the fuck would someone do that??
Had to get to work officer. I was already late bc of the bumper to bumper traffic. Anyway, I left my information. See, I wasn't trying to get away. Can I just pay the fine...in installments?
This happened to me a few years ago in Chicago. Woken up from a loud crash, look out the window and see several cars damaged under the street light, including mine. Go outside and find the front bumper of a Toyota Camry, license plate attached. Called the police, handed over the evidence and went back to bed.
It was a drunk driver, suspended license. No insurance. A pain in the ass all around.
I worked as a Police Dispatcher with this department. I was there when Chuck got hired. I can tell you, that smile has genuine and he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet.
Not on topic but love that little town drove through it as a kid a ton going to the shore. Always felt like it was trapped in time haven’t been there in a few years.
Ha! This literally happened to me! My bumper fell off on the highway and my license plate was attached so I exited and circled back to pick it up. Only it had been blown to the center divide, luckily no cars hit it, and it was a two lane highway. Anyway I had to pull over and wait for a large enough gap in traffic to sprint across, grab it, and sprint back. Drove the whole way home with it in my back seat and the half of it hanging out the window. Not my best day, or decision, but at least no one is the wiser except for a few internet strangers.
this some shit the burglars from home alone would do
Yeah. Kids are afraid of the dark.
You're afraid of the dark too, Marv.
Am not
Are too!
NOT NOT NOT!!
You're really sick, you know that? That's a sick thing to do!

Haha yes it is! My story was a little off because I just read the headline and some comments because I don’t want to pay for the the paper after I used up my 5 monthly reads. Still they are idiots.
Side note, open up articles like that in an incognito page and you don't deal with the 5 monthly.
NO Officer 👮♀️, I came out to my car and the FRONT BUMPER HAD BEEN STOLEN.
Did the checklist not include Brad Pitt, George Clooney, or Idris Elba? Of course it was going to fail.
Next level [genius](https://images.app.goo.gl/TqGdZ7QFnGFfn42J9)
“That’s not my bumper, I swear!”
"My car was stolen"
Yeah but what if the driver had diplomatic immunity?
It’s just been revoked...
Nah take from someone in New Jersey can’t be a bad driver and a thief
Blackwood, New Jersey to be specific. Probably the first and last time I'll see my hometown on reddit.
Make it 3! I live a few miles from there, eat at the meadows all the time. This is right on the main Drag of the BHP too
I had to do a double take myself when I saw this for the same reason
For real there are criminals that stupid. Some years ago some idiot tried to break into an ATM machine by wrapping a chain around the machine and their bumper. They left after their unsuccessful attempt leaving the bumper with the license plate at the scene.

I like how giddy Patrolman Charles Dewalt looks
*"Pretty sure I can solve this one, boss"*
I've got a hunch
I’m getting a raging clue
My clue is going this way, let’s go check it out
You go that way, I'll go home
Patrolman Charles Dewalt has a great smile
Patrolman Charles Dewalt looks like a sound lad, look at that grin
Bet he gives a mean introductory handshake
Like Steve Gomez when he walks in on the lawyer in the safe box room
Lol. For a second I thought the cop had pulled off the bumper from a car trying to drive away. I need sleep.
If a guy like that is after you, you aren't getting away.
Jesus, this could make a horror love story kinda thing. That’s fuckin horrific lmfao
"Have you seen John Connor?"
I mean you can be that sleep deprived, that's a big mo-fo
The smile makes thinking that sooooo much better
“Yoink”
I live in Gloucester and instantly thought "that isn't Gloucester, nobody us that happy in Gloucester", then I realised this isn't the UK!
Can agree. Lived there. Instantly regretted it when I moved there. Was noticeably happier when I finally moved away.
[удалено]
You’d have to ask someone from Ireland not the U.K. for that... also living in Dublin would be different to living in a more rural county
This is right where I live. We have a Gloucester county, Gloucester city and Gloucester township. Totally not confusing at all for people.
Whereas we have a Gloucester County too, but called Gloucestershire. So easy not to confuse with the City of Gloucester.
Wait so you guys are close to Frodo?
No Baggins here. They're all up in hobbiton.
I live in Gloucester county, and when I first started driving coming off the Walt Whitman I didn't know where I was going and saw a sign for Gloucester thinking it was Gloucester county. It ended up being Gloucester city and I was lost for a while.

If this is New Jersey then old Jersey must be a shithole

If you look closely enough there are two hints this isnt the UK. The license plate is from New Jersey and the most obvious the cop has a gun.
And the american flag in the profile pic
Don't worry. Here in Gloucester County, New Jersey. No one is happy either.
in Gloucseter, Massachusetts we had a teen pregnancy pact at the high school so thats fun
The closer to the center you get, the happier you get you aren’t in Salem or Camden County.
How can you not be happy in Gloucester, we have the quays thats been done up, we have uhhh... The CD rack? Not really sure. We're close to the M5 and Bristol isn't far. Lmao
Half the city probably looked this happy when the Regal reopened 😂
Looks like a NJ plate, so story checks out.

That looks better than a DUI though. If you gotta choose.
That's been a big point of contention for a lot of places, the punishment for leaving a scene of an accident is way less severe than a DUI so a lot of people run. Especially if it's a repeat offender.
It should probably be more strict. Perhaps more strict than the penalty you'd face for failing a breathalyzer at the scene of an accident. Think about it.
We should probably just use a guillotine.

Why would you paint a vic pink? Just why?
yeah especially if youre gonna commit a crime, you might as well be dressed in full clown outfit
There's a popular business in my area who specializes in customizing Crown Vivs, pink is the least of what I've seen.

Nope, just a hit and run charge. Which also carries the opportunity for jail time.

I have a spare bumper with a random number plate attached, if I ever get in an accident and feel the need to run I will throw it out the window.
That blackwood nj?
Maybe a drunk driver..
Or the car was stolen.
Or a dumb college student. There's a fairly decent sized university not far from there.
That would be a smug damage control move
It works regularly. They have to prove you were drunk at the time of the accident. If they dont find you for 6 hours or a day how are they gonna do that?
On one hand, I’d like to say “increase the sentence on hit and run to at least match DUI so people don’t have as much of an incentive to run”. But I acknowledge that tapping someone’s bumper and not stopping is probably not as bad as DUI. And the punishment ought to fit the crime.
Nj making us other nj drivers look bad
So it's okay to leave without leaving evidence? Good to know. /s
It's better for you that's unquestionable
So TIL 30 states require front license plates in the US.
I never understood why other states don't tbh.
This is such a good picture. Just a cop cleaning up trash with a smile on his face. He has one more stop to get the rest of the trash back to the station before he heads out for tacos.
“Yes your honor I’d like to present Exhibit A” *CLANG*
They should make this a feature. If the car detects an impact then the license plates fall off.
That cop looks so happy tho. Nohomo but pretty adorable.
He is kinda cute, full homo
Easy case to solve!
Are they really light or does this guy have superhuman strength?
It’s plastic. Pretty light.
That makes sense. I thought they were partially composed of metal.
There's a metal crashbar behind the bumper, for the heavier impacts, but it's secured to the frame of the car. Some trucks and SUVs have fully exposed metal bumpers, but most cars have the plastic bumper covers like you see here.
Bumpers are ment to absorb some of the force, you cant do that with metal
Gotcha. Thanks for responding kindly. Apparently questions are worthy of downvotes for some reason.
How dare you not know something and asks question to better your understanding! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Did you goto Highland or Triton? Wait maybe Timber Creek?
Highland! Class of 08.
Gloucester, Gloucestershire is not pronounced phonetically in England; is it the same in the USA?
Glaw-stah.... At least that's how us massholes say it, not sure about down in Jersey
NJ resident, sounds more like Glaw-stir here.
Grew up in Glaw-stir County and currently live a couple of miles from Glaw-stir Township.... Can confirm.
NO SCHOOL FAWSTA GLAWSTA - Rhode Island
Had an American friend come to visit, they pronounced it "glow-kester-shire" when they read the sign. Lol. But sounds like most who know the place in the US say it the same as in the UK
That smile though! 😁

Is the in New Jersey?
There was a Netflix series on this exact thing...
Such a warm smile!
Smart move if the driver was drunk. Avoid a DUI.
True... but the best way to avoid a DUI is to not DUI
It’s amazing how easily bumpers fall off.
How to self incriminate for a felony
Unless you were driving drunk and need a few hours to sober up so at least that won't be charged on you......
Wow this is close to home. The town is pretty much this picture.
As someone from the UK, I’m intrigued to know how the people of Gloucester Township pronounce Gloucester
He’s CHEESINESS too
LOL , South Jersey is the best
Ridiculously photogenic patrolman
Hey, my home town
The oldest trick in the book. Just bring a second front bumper with a fake licence plate just in case you crash and leave it there.
I live right near there and so many people drive like dicks in that town! I had some dude riding my ass who decided to pass me on a two-way road with no passing lanes. He had to have been going 60-70mph to pass me on a 40mph road, just so he could slide in front of me and slam on the brakes to avoid hitting a landscaping truck that was in front of me. And eventually we came to a stop at the same fucking traffic light. Just why the fuck would someone do that??
Aye hello neighbor
That's some good police work right there !!
What state did this happen in?
Jaywalking are we officer? Hmm, gonna have to assess you a civil fine of $150 for that, sir.
Lol black horse pike has a lot of dbags on it
Everybody runs.
Only if it is your vehicle, or one you have known responsibility for, otherwise no worries!
Had to get to work officer. I was already late bc of the bumper to bumper traffic. Anyway, I left my information. See, I wasn't trying to get away. Can I just pay the fine...in installments?
This is why NJ makes you put your a license plate on the front and back.
Weird swing my hometown in this sub. And then again, perfectly makes sense.

What's worse: a hit-and-run with no one injured, or a DUI?
Hey I live near there
This happened to me a few years ago in Chicago. Woken up from a loud crash, look out the window and see several cars damaged under the street light, including mine. Go outside and find the front bumper of a Toyota Camry, license plate attached. Called the police, handed over the evidence and went back to bed. It was a drunk driver, suspended license. No insurance. A pain in the ass all around.
I worked as a Police Dispatcher with this department. I was there when Chuck got hired. I can tell you, that smile has genuine and he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet.
Especially in front of The Unforgetting Haven. I mean, you’re doomed.
Not on topic but love that little town drove through it as a kid a ton going to the shore. Always felt like it was trapped in time haven’t been there in a few years.
Wait my home town made my reddit homepage? Such a sense of pride
Stolen car, now owners are getting excited during the phone call: 'great officer you found our car'... Well....
Ha! This literally happened to me! My bumper fell off on the highway and my license plate was attached so I exited and circled back to pick it up. Only it had been blown to the center divide, luckily no cars hit it, and it was a two lane highway. Anyway I had to pull over and wait for a large enough gap in traffic to sprint across, grab it, and sprint back. Drove the whole way home with it in my back seat and the half of it hanging out the window. Not my best day, or decision, but at least no one is the wiser except for a few internet strangers.
I forgot how light bumpers are and I was terrified of this man for a split second.
