Drunk Burglars Attempt Shoddy Black Marker Disguise

via asylum.com

We've seen a lot of half-assed Halloween costumes in our lives, but none as pitiful as this pair of drunken thieves who tried to disguise themselves by drawing on their faces with black permanent marker.

Matthew McNelly, 23, and Joey Miller, 20, were apprehended last Friday after allegedly trying to break into an apartment in Carroll, Iowa. Cops were tipped off by a witness, who told them the duo had taken off in a white car.

When officers pulled over a car matching the description a few blocks away, they found the suspects inside, their faces scribbled haphazardly with marker.

We applaud their resourcefulness (have you seen the prices of ski masks lately?), but we think they could have been a lot more creative with their Sharpie designs. How about a handlebar mustache and a Zorro mask? An eye patch and freckles?

Got any better ideas for marker disguises? Let's hear 'em.
