I dare say someone in Hollywood is already working on the screenplay and these idiots are all set for celebrity status...

Perfectly logical to me. They had no money - hence the need to burglarize - otherwise, they'd a bought real disguises. What's to wonder?

I suspect this story to be an urban myth and have no doubt it will appear in the "incompetent criminals" column of the next issue of 'Fortean Times'.

I mean there's idiocy and there's far-fetched idiocy!

Reminds me of the guy who planned to gas himself by eating nothing but beans for a month and then locked himself in an airtight cabinet. So much hot air...

Well it has been reported worldwide - with photographic evidence - and not just in the red-tops.

They're American, no depth of stupidity is too low.
