Apparently, two guys in east haven’t developed enough common sense to know that these days, if you steal a credit card and attempt to use it you’re probably going to get caught. They attempted to buy an Xbox at Wal-Mart with it, but that part isn’t anywhere near as interesting as how they attempted to get away with it.

The story goes something like this: I might have been the guy in the surveillance tape, Alexander Brothers, criminal #1 told police. Might have been? Either you went to Wal-Mart or not; either you bought an Xbox or not. Then he told the pitiful story about being at a party and a friend asking him to go to the store and buy an Xbox, handing over a credit card to use. Since when do people decide they need a game system in the middle of a party? He admitted it wasn’t true, I guess his conscience got to him, or maybe just the fact that the story wasn’t even that believable.

What makes this awful attempt at theft pretty funny is that Brothers is a premed major, and his partner in crime, Kevin Connolly, is an engineer. Have fun applying to graduate schools guys, seeing as the university could have the ability to rescind your campus privileges. I wouldn’t want my doctor to be guilty of credit card fraud.
