True Funny Crime Stories: 10 Funny Stories About Bumbling Burglars, Crazy Criminals and Dumb Felons to Make You Laugh (True Crime Tales Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Mike Johns (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

Crime doesn't pay for everyone. These short stories - all true - show you how true crime doesn't always end in gory bloodbaths. Sometimes, the criminals are so ill-prepared or lacking in criminal cunning they practically convict themselves.

The nudist colony offers no shelter to the fully-clothed man. Stealing urine doesn't lead to sobriety. Santa is more magical than most burglars.


These are just a few lessons you can learn from these uncommonly silly criminals.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mike Johns is an entirely fictional person - a pen name. Rather than hiding this fact and trying to create an amazing fictional person, the real author wants you to know the truth.

Mike Johns is, in the imagination of the shadowy-but-real author, a solitary man. He lives on an off-grid ranch in west Texas. He built his home by himself using bare hands, a rusty saw, and years of grit and determination. Every few weeks he had to stop to chase away bobcats and other unwanted intruders. In his early years, Mike studied classical piano, physics, and history at the University of Paris. He has four cats, a German Shepherd named Fitz, and keeps two turtles in a custom-built terrarium.

Mike doesn't have much family. His parents divorced when his Dad joined Elon Musk's Mars colonization team. His mother took up with a Chinese billionaire and moved to Taiwan. Mike has never married. Women hear of his rugged good looks and magnetic personality. After an enjoyable few days they agree to move on to make space for the next chapter in Mike's life.

True crime is Mike's passion - but only as an author. He has never committed any felonies or misdemeanors because he is a good guy. His moral code is stronger than a fictional love child of Mother Teresa and Chuck Norris. Criminals fascinate Mike and so he writes books about them. He really hopes you enjoy reading his books.

Thus ends the entirely fictional biography of an entirely fictional person. If this seems to resemble anyone you know, it doesn't. Feel free to contact this fictional person. The real author will be happy to have a cup of coffee, imagine himself as Mike Johns, and write back to you.

This little ebook recounts ten tales of morally-challenged crooks. Most of these lawbreakers were short several brain cells which ultimately caused their trips to the welcoming prison system. Perhaps the intended audience (8 to 18-year-olds) would appreciate the humor more than I did. I saw the book as average, an amusing way to while away some time.

Very entertaining, these are truly dumb crooks. Of course the ones that get caught have never been accused of being intelligent.

This book promised to make me chuckle. It delivered! It's not heavy reading or seriously disturbing criminal behavior. It's just a funny read from beginning to end.
