The Stupid Crook Book by Leland Gregory

This book is just what you would suppose.  It is a collection of very short stories about stupid things criminals have done.  The stories mostly fit one to a page, and are sometimes accompanied by wacky illustrations.  The stories are taken from places across the globe and often the author mentions his source.  This could be a great book for a reluctant reader, or just to place on the coffee table to pick up and read for fun now and then. The book is written for adults, but could be enjoyed by teen boys.  There is a little bit of innuendo, but it is super subtle. (231 p 2002)
