I think it’s pretty much universally known that the number one rule of shoplifting is that you don’t draw attention to yourself, so I’m at a loss as to why these two (water) melon heads from Virginia decided to wear water melons on their heads whilst they nicked some groceries from their local store.

Here’s what the Louisa Police Department had to say about it in a Facebook post:

Kinda crazy that they managed to arrest someone with those pictures as the main source of identification, but I guess maybe they bragged to someone about their crimes or somebody recognised their car? Probably should have put a watermelon around that as well if you’re gonna do something like this I suppose?

Anyway, just a heads up that it’s probably not that great an idea to rob somewhere with a watermelon on your head as you not only won’t get away with it, but you’ll also become a viral internet meme at the same time. Yeowch.
