Man robs rapper Nelly's house, steals electronics

ST. LOUIS – Police say a man broke into rapper Nelly's house in suburban St. Louis and stole electronics and video games.

Authorities say the Grammy-winning artist was not home when during the robbery early Friday morning.

St. Louis County police spokesman Rick Eckhard says a man used a window to get in and out of Nelly's home. He said three
people were inside the house at the time and one confronted the intruder.

Eckhard says the man was able to get away with a duffel bag of electronics, a video game system and video games.

No one is in custody.

1. he got away with the loot, and he's not in custody....

how is he a 'dumb' crook?

or did you mean that the story is dumb?

2. Risking years in prison for video game crap = stupid

BTW odds are real good he will get caught.

3. bad, but on the bright side,

no one was hurt or killed,

and Nelly isn't exactly headed to the poorhouse after this setback...

4. Geez. I thought maybe there was electronic tracking or video evidence or something.

I wonder what level of crime is needed to rise above the "dumb" designation.

5. The 'dumb' part comes when the burglar starts to sell off the items,

thinking that them being from Nelly's place - "this used to belong to Nelly!" will add to their value and saleability.
