Stupid Criminal: A Guy Staged a Carjacking to Avoid Going Shopping with His Wife

Six more weeks left in 2025.  And just under the wire, we may have found our dumbest husband of the year.  A guy in Russia is facing charges after he staged a carjacking, because he didn’t want to go SHOPPING with his wife.

It happened in April, but cops in central Russia just shared the details.  His wife called them and said their Toyota Corolla was stolen.  Then she called back later and said they found it abandoned.

Cops checked it out and found signs of forced entry, including a damaged ignition switch.  They didn’t get suspicious until they talked to the husband.  The details didn’t add up, and they eventually concluded he staged the whole thing to get out of being dragged along on a shopping trip.

He’s facing up to two years in prison for filing a false report.  He didn’t have a criminal record until now.  No word on the state of his marriage.
