The word “crime” is associated with such adjectives as “bloody”, “daring”, “terrible”, “unheard of”. In this book, the crimes and criminals are different. Because if you follow reports from crime fronts closely enough, you will find out that crimes can be both stupid and funny. And also incredibly funny and incredibly stupid. What we have collected in this book is, firstly, only a small part of the “funny crimes”, and secondly, only the first part of the criminal section of our Encyclopedia. All the stories in this book are true. It’s just that life itself can compose any story better than any writer. Including about policemen and thieves.
