We're not experts on "Crime 101," but we're sure that this criminal skipped one of the most basic lessons. After robbing a store using a gun-shaped lighter, the man returned while authorities were there! He was seized and taken to the police station.

Whether it's moments or months after a crime is commited, investigators do their best to find the culprit. In Spain, police searched for a month for an armed robbery suspect by combing through 1,000 vehicles of the suspect's model. When they found him, they found the clothes he wore and documentation that his vehicle was used during the robbery.
