This just doesn't add up

On the day after they were caught the Metro said that police had recovered notes saying

"Kill Joss Stone, money in the safe"

"Find river to dump the body"

Firstly, how tulip were this pair. They documented the crime they were about to commit. Also, did they have Alzheimer’s or something? Why did they need to write themselves such pointless notes.

"tulip what are we doing in this woman’s house? What should we do now? Oh yes (uncrumples paper). Kill Joss and get the money from the safe"

Finally, why when you have a dead body in your car, do you then start to look for a river to dump it in? Surely find a suitable stretch of water when your time is not at as much of a premium as it might be when you are trundling around the countryside with a dead and leaking corpse of a pop start in your tiny Fiat!

well they were not THAT incompetent. They got the job done. It was just the post-implementation-support-plan that sucked.

I don't think they did. They didn't even make it as far as breaking in. Definitely not a couple of criminal masterminds.

How? They failed in every respect. They didn't kill her, they didn't get any money, they just got caught with a load of incriminating evidence. If only all criminals were that incompetent.

Exactly - the failed in all respects. The only thing that they managed was to find her house!

Which was their undoing.

Sounds like a game of extreme geocaching. I thought we all played it during the breaks between Dexter seasons.

Expect to see them on an episode of "UK Dummest Criminals"

She died in the boot of the car.

He was finally caught in the centre of Morriston (near Swansea).

What a horrible way to go.

[doodab]

Might have helped if they'd checked to see if she was in the country at the time.

I would have thought checking she was out of the country would have been more sensible TBH.

Six of one and half a dozen of the other.

Well, yes, but then they could have left the swords and the bag at home....

I have just discovered a µ key on my keyboard. Awesome.
