Inept home burglars shown wrestling with TV in surveillance video

Maybe it's true what Baltimore Police Detective Richard Garvey said:

Crime makes you stupid.

Certainly nothing in these Nashville videos of a home burglary makes us think otherwise.

The Nashville police are distributing the surveillance videos in the hope of identifying and catching the two knuckleheads. The young men, estimated to be in their teens or early 20s, "thought they were covering their tracks by stealing the surveillance cameras inside the residence," the police said. "Little did they know that the video and sound recorded by the cameras had been downloaded and preserved."

The burglary in the 1300 block of Grand Avenue at 7:50 p.m. July 20, when the resident was out of the country. They took computer equipment, money, beer and a lawnmower, the police said.

But they never did manage to get the flat-screen TV off the wall:

Police ask anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463; at www.nashvillecrimestoppers.com; or by texting the word “CASH” along with the message to 274637 (CRIMES). Tipsters can remain anonymous, and a cash reward is possible.
