Is prolific burglar Scott Barker the stupidest criminal in Grimsby?
He left his mobile phone at the home he had just broken into in Harold Street - and the tools he used to get inside with too.

“He can't be the stupidest in Grimsby as this habitual thief was free.
The stupidest must surely be the Magistrates or Judges who let him be free.
I also believe that the investigating detective received a reward for his skill in identifying the culprit.
It was the Sherlock Holmes Investigating Trophy , know for short as the SH-T.”

“I wouldn't say so. I would call into question why food and farmers enter into the article. As for daft, there was the one weighted down who jumped in the river. Another trying to escape in a canoe. Then there's Jamie of course. The list goes on but I don't recall them all.”
