A good disguise is essential when planning any crime as one burglar found out at a price when he was forced to improvise by hiding under a bucket.

Looking for some quick cash, Richard Boudreaux went on a burglary spree near his home in Slidell, Louisiana.

There was a telling flaw in the 23-year-old’s plan however, after he left the house without a mask to cover his face before breaking into the premises of a seafood restaurant where he used to work. After remembering there was CCTV cameras in place, Mr Boudreaux did his best to conceal his identity, donning a five-gallon bucket over his head. Click below for full story -

Maybe he wanted to go to jail? Why else would you be that thick?

Surely this has to be a joke, no one could be that retarded right?

You’ve only gotta look at his mug shot to realise that he’s a dumb ass

Damn he went through all that effort to hold up a store with his head in a bucket and only came out with a couple hundred bucks.

Was it really worth it?

Maybe he thought the bucket would stop him from getting shot in the head if the cops came to bust him

Ah man. The cops should have taken a mug shot with him with the bucket over his head to show much much of a prik he is!

Reminds me of a TV show in England called Mr Bean - a robber was caught with a trash can over his head
