Looks like we have a brand new candidate for dumbest criminal ever.

Patrick Johnson robbed two banks in the Ocala, FL area in one day. The thief had the presence of mind to change his wardrobe between his crimes, but his method of sticking up the banks -- a note stating he had a gun -- was the same both times.

Now here's where things get baffling. Johnson wrote both threatening notes on the back of personal checks. His own personal checks.

Needless to say, it didn't take long for the authorities to read Johnson's clearly printed name and track down the mindless con. Watch Johnson's idiocy in action below.
