Dumb Criminals: British Robber Tries To Rob Gas Station Wearing Clear Plastic Bag

There are dumb thieves and there is Jamie Neil.

This 41-year-old Brit was convicted this week of robbing a gas station in Cornwall, U.K. last September -- while wearing a see-through plastic bag.

Neil and his accomplice, Gareth Tilley, 20, were drunk and high on stolen medication when they decided to rob the gas station. In their haste, they each grabbed the nearest thing they could use as a disguise; a scarf for Tilley and a plastic bag for Neil, the Daily Mail reported.

Tilley wasn't exactly a top-notch criminal either.
