Crime doesn’t pay

Here’s something that just happened here in Israel. (It was just on the news... Here's a link http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/A/JPArticle/Full&cid=1023716592877 to daily newspaper article)
Two males, aged 21 and 16 decided to break into a one of our local theme parks without paying by climbing a fence.
After they failed (so it seems), they decided to make a hole in concrete & iron fence and slide into the park.
However, what they failed to notice was that the fence was unstable, and when the 21 year old tried to slide in, the fence caved in and a huge concrete slab fall over his head, killing him on the spot..
Needless to say, the noise alerted the police, who promptly arrested his 16-year-old accomplice.
What makes these two prime candidates for the Darwin Awards was that the two actually tried breaking the wrong fence. The real theme park fence was more then 500m away from them. Furthermore, the fence that killed them had a 100m wide opening less then 50m from them… They just didn’t bother looking…
