Self-Witness

1979: Thomas Martin, an assistant manager at a Jack in the Box restaurant, told police he was robbed of $307 while closing up the store. Police asked him to describe the robber. He described himself. He later confessed to taking the money from the store.

I wonder if this sketch is preserved somewhere in the archives of the Oroville, CA police department.

Can't be awarded a Darwin Award, since he didn't remove himself from the gene pool. But, he may manage to do that in the future.
