Man steals cellphone after, uh, stealing cellphone
In the latest edition of the 2007 Darwin Awards, it seems that a Russian man looks to be facing up to four years in prison for stealing a cellphone. Pretty harsh, eh? There's more -- the man stole the cellphone from a court judge where he has just been exonerated of... wait for it... stealing a cellphone. Perhaps this guy has a cellphone stealing fetish or something? Anyway, after a possible four years in a Russian prison, the smart money says he'll be changing his tune. At least this guy had compensated his earlier cellphone victim (she dropped the charges against him), but we doubt the judge whose phone was snatched will be as nice.[Via Fark]

Didn't this happen in the states not too long ago, where a man stole a judge's keys after being in court for stealing someone else's keys, or something along those lines?
The stupidity of the human race never ceases to amaze me.

A Darwin award is awarded when the person dies during an act of stupidity, removing his genes from the gene pool. Going to jail for 4 yeas doesn't qualify. But he's still an idiot.
