With thieves like these . . .

A 40 year-old Wisconsin man has put in a strong bid for the dumbest criminal of the year after he allegedly stole a GPS tracking device used to monitor criminals on probation.

AP reports that the $2,500 device, which has a built in GPS satellite receiver, was temporarily placed outside a home by a woman serving home detention.
