Johannesburg - A South African mugger has been mauled to death by tigers after fleeing the scene of his crime and taking refuge in what turned out to be a tiger enclosure at a nearby zoo, police said. /break/ ''The guy who was found in the tiger enclosure had been trying to escape after he had robbed a couple with a knife early on Sunday morning'' police spokesman Sam Makhele said.

Crooks who die while trying to escape from the police are generally too common, but this is just uncommon enough for me to give it a Neutual. With a better (and more amusing) write up, I'd even be willing to give it a definate thumbs up.

I concur with Jack on the commonality of criminals dying while fleeing the law. This one, however, is a gag right out of a classic cartoon! I too would like to see a better write-up before I go full speed on this...


Greg said:
Definitely Keep: Darwin Award
I agree. Better write-up required, but Darwin can deal with that - it's a Definitely Keep for my money! :-)
