Alan Reed’s Daily Doof And Other Stuff

A criminal genius who needed money for personal reasons left his wallet at a gas station.

A Florida man forgot his wallet at the gas station he robbed.

The thief demanded $40 that he needed for personal reasons.

When the employee declined, the thief offered to trade his wallet for money. He got the money... and cops got his driver’s license and arrested him (at his home). DOOFUS!

Fact of the day: Do you know that approximately 50% of Americans admit they have run a red light?
