Dumb criminal stories are fantastic, because you can laugh heartily at another person’s stupidity and misfortune and not feel the slightest bit of guilt because they were both
a) doing something they shouldn’t do in the first place, and
b) brought down by their own stupidity
I actually think that some people become criminals purely out of stupidity. They are so stupid that, in effect, civilization doesn’t “take”. They really can’t understand why if they want someone, they can’t just take it, and those who stop them from doing so are “mean” and the rules are “stupid”.
(Ever notice how stupid people call a lot of things stupid?)
As for stories, let’s see if I can cudgel my brain for a few anecdotes to justify the diversion into pedantry. 
Well, there was the group of young rocket scientists who went out for a joy ride on garbage day one day and discovered the thrilling past=time of smashing their car through the garbage people had set out for the truck.
All went well until they reach one house who, like they always did, had piled their garbage bags around a prominent feature of the landscaping of their lawn.
Namely, an enormous decorative boulder.
BAM went the jalopy, ass over teakettle, landing on its roof and sliding down the street another half a block.
Miraculously, all the teen males escaped with only minor injuries and required only minor medical intervention and, presumably, fresh pants.
