OT: Former UConn Soccer Player Burglarizes Geno's Grill

[mbr33ct]

A ex-UConn soccer player from Tolland was apparently wearing shorts depicting his team number during the burglary.

Don't know about you, but if one is to burglarize someone or place, you don't wear items that broadcast what school, sport and especially what number you wore playing soccer.

Also this guy walked in an unlocked front door was left open at 3:38 am??

He is accused of sneaking into an unlocked front door, taking liquor and fleeing the scene at 3:38 a.m.

State Police used his UConn soccer player biography, in part, to identify him after watching surveillance video, according to a warrant. The video and still photos from the surveillance system show him wearing shorts with No. 31 on them, his uniform number at UConn, according to a warrant.

Sounds like he had help - advertent or not. More like this mbr33ct until we can get a real hit of Husky basketball.

I believe there is a TV show called "America's Dumbest Burglars". This guy should be featured in their next episode.

Man, Geno's food must be really good...and expensive?

The smart ones go to Duke and Stanford.

Where they end up robbing nicer restaurants?

If it wasn't a slight towards UConn, I'd laugh. I like your avatar though.

As a UConn graduate, I'm appalled that a former UConn soccer player would sink so low as to commit robbery--of Geno's restaurant no less--and he would be so dumb in committing the crime. Sad!

Too many headers in his soccer days.

It's appropriate for the clientele. Food is fine, not terribly expensive or over-priced, and wine list is geared toward broadly American, rather than "old school," tastes. Wonder if Geno's own cellar reflects a different preference.

My favorite "dumb robber" story (and true) was a guy who handed his note to the bank teller written on the back of his phone bill!

In an earlier thread I noted that Marvin Barnes once attempted to rob a bus while wearing his Central High (Providence) state championship jacket with his name embroidered on it. Oh, and he was 6'8".

This might be less stupid, but only slightly so and same result in any event.

My current favorite is the guy who drove to police station to get a copy of DWI paperwork, while intoxicated and picked up another citation, but only because it happened in my home town a week ago.

Runner up: Different DWI driver is picked up from the station by his equally inebriated girlfriend who admits to driving to the station and get cited herself. They uber'ed home. Same station, two weeks ago. The local police are on a roll.

A similar story was told of a dope who wrote the holdup note on his own deposit slip.

We had a local bank robbery attempt here where the idiot drove his car through the drive-up lane first, to get to the parking lot (?)... This of course, left behind a nice video of his license plate.

They later asked the guy where he had gotten the trophy and he said he had gotten it in a race.When asked how many people were in the race he said three,the policeman,Geno,and me.

Marvin was also known as "Bad News" and "Tire Iron."
