If you want me to be frank with you, I think the team on CSI Miami or some other crime drama could sink their teeth into this one out of Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Police there report that they have arrested a suspected car thief thanks to a hot dog wrapper. The wrapper was left in an auto that was that was stolen in Milwaukee.

The state Crime Lab was able to take fingerprints off the piece of trash and the cops say that they matched those of Joseph Dandridge, who had a criminal past.

Investigators said that Dandridge admitted to stealing the car.

Police say that our fumbling felon says that he doesn’t remember anything else because he was intoxicated.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire, right? Not in this story out of Miami, Florida. Police there charge that where there was smoke, there was marijuana.

A spokesman for Miami-Dade police says that Roy Diaz reported a fire in his house. Firefighters were swift to put out the flames, but while this happened, over 50 mature pot plants were discovered.

According to authorities, our pot-growing pinhead had a sophisticated weed-growing operation operation in the house he shares with his wife and kid.

Police estimate the maryjane that they seized to be worth $400,000.

Diaz was treated for smoke inhalation, then arrested on marijuana dealing and other charges.

A man who claimed that he robbed a Los Altos Hills, California, couple at gunpoint in their house called a local newspaper to assure the victims that he wouldn’t come back.

“They can sleep,” the man was quoted as saying in a phone call to the San Jose Mercury News the night of May 24, about 24 hours after the heist.

When he couldn’t find a particular item that he was searching for, he swiped $300 in cash, two wristwatches, and some jewelery, according to police.

“I just wanted to have fun,” said the unidentified man. “I just wanted to see how police work over here.”

Right after the robbery, the man claimed to have hidden in some bushes about 15 steps away from a cop car and watched officers look for him.

Police in Round Rock, Texas, a suburb of Austin, arrested a man whom they say walked into a bank, demanded that a teller give him money, then sat down to read a magazine.

Sixty-one-year-old Paul Wendell Gunn surrendered to police May 25 about an hour after he went to the bank and demanded an unspecified amount of money, said Round Rock police spokesman Eric Poteet.

After the teller gave Gunn the money, he sat down on a couch in the bank to read while everyone else ran out of the bank, Poteet said.

Authorities cordoned off the area around the bank, which, as luck would have it, is half a block from the police station, until Gunn surrendered, reported a TV station in Austin.

Gunn never used a weapon, and there were no injuries, according to police.

Some thieves broke into an auto repair garage in Paderborn, Germany, and cut open the roof of a convertible that was being repaired, but these dumb crooks had to call off their overnight robbery when the vehicle refused to start.

The reason for that? Well, according to police, the engine was missing! It was being fixed in a separate part of the garage in that town, according to a report in the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag.

A burglar in Austria who drank a bottle of vodka was busted after he fell asleep in the king-sized bed of one of his victims.

Gerhard Sobor was quoted as saying, “I walked into the bedroom and found a strange man, fully clothed, snoring away on my bed.

“His pockets were full of my wife’s jewelry, and there was an empty bottle beside him.”

Police arrested the unidentified 28-year-old man and charged him with breaking and entering.

Police in Warren, Ohio, made a surprising find when they pulled over three men on suspicion of trying to break into a house there.

The two-year-old son of one of the suspects was sound asleep in the back seat of the car.

Police claim that the father told officers his reason for bringing the boy along for the heist: because he couldn’t find a baby-sitter.

The boy is now being taken care of by his grandmother.

The father and the other two suspects have been charged with breaking and entering and possession of criminal tools. The father has also been charged with child endangerment.
