18-year-old burglar who vandalised a children's campsite building was caught because he wrote his name on a wall at the scene, a court has heard.

Addison also left his gang's name on the wall - The Adlington Massiv!.

The teenager vandalised a Garden Birds of Britain poster by adding "R Gay".

Inspector Gareth Woods, of Cheshire Police, said: "This crime is up there with the dumbest of all in the criminal league table.

"There are some pretty stupid criminals around, but to leave your own name at the scene of the crime takes the biscuit.

"The daftness of this lad certainly made our job a lot easier."

What a muppet.

Reminds me of a clip on America's Dumbest Criminals (or a similar show) where the idiot broke into a post office by breaking the lock.

When he was finished collecting his swag, he pushed to door, only to find it wouldn't open.

In the morning he was arrested (having been stuck there all night).

Apparently, it was a pull door.

I tried to find the clip on the internet but failed. I did find a similar story though.
