I Was Reminded Of The Phrase,

'You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity',


from the film Snatch, here is the true story, a robber was arrested when he came back to the house that he robbed for his keys. The suspect had broken into the garage and was able to steal two bicycles, a laptop, and a bar fridge. His “operation” was close to being successful, except he left his apartment keys at the scene of the crime, as Oddee details:

The suspect decided he would smash the glass door of his apartment building so that he could get in, but he still couldn’t get into his place without the keys. The robber returned to the garage he stole the items from to look for his keys and that’s when the homeowner apprehended him. 
The police reported that the suspect was intoxicated and in breach of two conditions of an undertaking. The 20-year-old Brandon man was arrested for break, enter and theft, two counts of failure to comply with an undertaking, two counts of mischief to property under $5000, and assaulting a police officer.

going back to the film if you have not yet watched Snatch, give it a try, it has everything a good British gangster film should have, Mickey, a 'pikey' (slang for an Irish Gypsy), Turkish, an unlicensed boxing promoter, a huge diamond heist, characters like 'Cousin Avi', 'Boris The Blade', 'Frankie Four Fingers' and 'Bullet Tooth Tony', guns, boxing and a dog, what more could you want? although for non UK audiences I would recommend using the subtitles as there is a fair bit of UK slang that might not easily be understood, but what a great film, I have watched it more than a few times and will certainly watch it again, a great easy to watch movie.
