Dumb: Stealing a 360; Dumber: Telling Microsoft

Criminals are stupid in general. Case in point - this kid. So you don't have the money or just want to be a general jerk and break into someone's house and steal their Xbox 360 and all their games. Okay, there is your first moment of stupidity. So what tops it all off? How about calling up Microsoft because you can't play the system that you stole? You think the cops are coming for you? Yep.

From the article:

So, there's this 14-year old kid in Mt. Victoria, New Zealand, right? Kid breaks into a house and steals someones Xbox 360 and all their games. Takes the games, disappears.

Until he decides to personally call Microsoft and complain because the legitimate owner's already registered the 360 and now the thief can't get online to play all his stolen games. Oh, and he ordered a spare power cable to be delivered to his house 'cause... you know... he forgot to steal one.

Turns out if you try this, the cops do show up at your house and take you away. The criminal mastermind has since confessed to the theft and will be charged for theft of about $700 dollars worth of someones property. Also, with being an idiot.
