worlds dumbest criminals - kamloops version

I thought you would get a kick out of this story.

Well on Wednesday night some punk teenagers broke into my church and totally trashed it. They trashed and spray painted all over the Youth Pastors office, they spray painted the Youth Room, they threw computers and tvs off the balcony, just made a total mess. However, they did have time to make themselves some juice, so we think they were familiar with the church if they knew enough to do that. Here is what they stole: They took a microphone case – took out the expensive microphones and filled the case with walkie talkies, a handful of loose change, some Pepto Bismal, and a bottle of Robitussum DM they also took two guitars that actually had value.

That is kinda funny. I mean Pepto Bismal? My friend Tiersa says it was because they knew they were going to feel convicted afterwards and feel sick about what they had done.

We did catch them though. Here is the good part of the story. In the middle of trashing the Youth Pastors office, they accidentally hit the speed dial on his phone – and called his house! So in the middle of the night his wife asked him, “why is your office calling me right now?” The punks were on speakerphone and when Kim and Dave heard what happened he got on his cell with the RCMP and started driving to the church. They totally got caught in the act! Isn’t that hilarious. I mean talk about the world’s dumbest criminals. They CALLED the pastor in the middle of their trashing spree!!!!!!! A little humor in the stress of what happened. I’ve had many a good laugh about it. It’s totally cool how our security system was going in next week, and out God-system protected our butts, AND gave us the opportunity to laugh.
