3. Robber Gives Cashier His Phone Number

　　劫匪把自己的电话号码给了收银员

　　In 2008, 18-year-old Ruben Zarate wanted to rob a muffler shop in Chicago. But there was a problem—most of the money was in the safe, only the manager could open it, and the manager wasn’t in. Ruben decided that he would try again later. To save himself some time, he left his cell phone number with the store employees. That way, they could call him when the manager returned.

　　2008年，18岁的Ruben Zarate试图抢劫一家芝加哥的消音器商店。然而他遇到了一个问题——大部分的现金都在保险柜里，只有经理可以打开保险柜，然而当时经理不在店里。Ruben决定他稍后再来抢劫一次。为了给自己节省一点时间，他把自己的手机号码留给了店里的职员。这样，当经理回来后，他们就可以电话通知他了。

　　2. Robber Leaves Birth Certificate And Note From Mom

　　劫匪留下了出生证明和妈妈的便条

　　Zarate broke a basic rule for any crook: Leave nothing behind that can identify you. The man stole a wallet containing $40 in cash and the victim’s ID. However, during the struggle, he dropped two bags of his own. On the very top of one of them was his birth certificate. As if that weren’t enough, the bag also contained a letter from the robber’s mother addressed to him.

　　Zarate违反了盗贼手则中最基本的一条：那就是，别留下任何能指明你身份的东西。这个人偷了一个钱包，里面有40美元的现金，还有被害人的身份证。不过，在和被害人挣扎之际，他遗落了两个属于自己的包。包里一眼就能看到他的身份证明。更有甚者，包里还有他的母亲写给他的一封信。

　　1.The Worst Disguise Ever

　　最糟糕的伪装

　　The disguise chosen by Dennis Hawkins, a 48-year-old Pittsburgh man who decided to rob a bank consisted of a woman’s blonde wig, a pair of fake breasts, and clown pants. The first problem was that the get-up revealed his face, which was captured on CCTV surveillance. You might guess that Mr. Hawkins wanted to fool people into thinking he was a woman. In that case, he should have considered getting rid of his mustache and goatee.

　　一位名叫Dennis Hawkins的48岁男性企图抢劫一家匹兹堡银行，他的伪装包括女士的金色假发，一对假乳，还有小丑裤。不过他的伪装存在两个问题，第一是他的伪装不包括面部，以至于监视摄像头拍摄下了他的脸。第二个问题是，人们可能猜得到他想要让人们误以为自己是一名女子，然而他却忘了刮干净自己的络腮胡和山羊须。
