Not all criminals are as smart as the movies show them. Some often make stupid mistakes while trying to hide from the police, which eventually leads to their capture.
Criminals who underestimate the abilities and resources of law enforcement agencies are more likely to make mistakes and get caught.

A photo of a man who attempted to elude police during an arrest and was unsuccessful has gone viral. The suspect thought of hiding on a rooftop by laying down close to a row of solar panels while attempting to flee a building in London.
A photo of the suspect was shared on Twitter by The National Police Air Service, with the caption: "They¡¯ll never find me if I just lay here and pretend I¡¯m a solar panel! Wrong!!"
"Friendly advice for any burglars that use Twitter ** Pretending to be solar panel on a roof will not fool us or our camera!!¡, you¡¯re welcome," NPAS London issued a warning in another tweet, urging people not to follow in the man¡¯s footsteps.
He was photographed by a National Police Air Service (NPAS) helicopter as he stretched out and pretended to be one of the panels. People on the internet had a hilarious time after the news broke out.
A man wrote, "Do you ever do any training exercises where during the training a colleague tries out different heat absorbing or heat shielding materials. I¡¯m thinking of say a thick survival reflective heating blanket might reduce a heat signature and act as an ¡°invisibility¡± shield."

Another shared a similar story and tweeted, "Had a lad run from an LOS vehicle. He was easily 6¡¯ tall. He ran into the garden of a house and hid under a doormat. A normal size doormat. Absolute lemon. He was similarly spotted by 99 and detained."

A user joked, "They don't appear to be as 'bright' as the solar panels it seems."

There are many such hilarious cases
Police in the UK apprehended a car burglar last year for stealing a car and not paying for fuel. The man hid inside a huge, stuffed teddy bear.
Joshua Dobson, 18, has been on the run since May.
He entered the teddy bear through a hole he had made in its rear and concealed himself inside as police arrived to check his girlfriend's home.
A couple of months ago, authorities say a man and a woman were detained in Florida after one of them allegedly dialled 911 to ask for assistance moving items out of a house they were robbing.
Deputies initially believed no one was home when they arrived at the house. But soon after entering via a locked door, they discovered the male suspect and his female companion hiding inside.
The male suspect was quickly apprehended after deputies recognised him on a security tape as a burglar from a general store in Poinciana, Florida, according to a statement from the sheriff's office.
