Crime, as they say, doesn’t pay — and if you’re really unlucky, it leaves you covered in grease.

While it’s uncertain *exactly* what happened here, the comments and context clues of the video below lead us to believe that this criminal attempted something that, while it may have seemed like a decent idea at the time, ended in the dumbest way possible.

Essentially, it seems like he tried to break into a restaurant via its grease-hood vent. Unfortunately for him, the vent was filled with, well, grease, and so, he ended up painted in black gunk and arrested.

I bet he wished he would have tried something a little more elaborate.
