Clarksville crime incident makes Ripley’s Believe it or Not book

This is really a crazy story and on the other hand falls under dumb criminals.

This happened back in October, but a Clarksville crime made it into Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Shatter Your Senses.  It fell under the category “Beyond Belief” and includes a little section “Dumb Criminals.”

A Playstation was stolen from a house in Clarksville.  The news of the burglary was reported in a local news paper back in 2016.  In dumb criminal fashion, the thieves tried to sell it at a pawn shop.  The owner noticed the system looked a lot like his before his house was broken into….yup, you guessed it, it WAS his and it was his house that had gotten burglarized!

Our great men and women in blue were called and the thieves were busted!
