While this Goldsboro, NC man may have shown signs of intelligence given the type of computer he tried to rob from a local Sam's Club, his desire to Touch 'Smart' didn't translate to actually being smart.

Armed with a forged receipt, Jeffery Allen Moore marched into a local Sam's Club and purchased a pack of cigarettes, then proceeded to shovel a TouchSmart PC into his cart and walk out the door. The receipt checker at the door instantly recognized the receipt as counterfeit.

The would-be TouchSmart thief fled the store, but evidence led authorities to his home. No one answered the door as officers attempted to serve the suspect with a warrant. However, as the suspect supposedly hid, police discovered a package containing all of the suspects attempts at creating the forged document... sitting on a table outside his home. 

D'oh!

The lessons: never try to steal anything using a forged receipt from a store that has receipt checkers at the front door, actually... never try to steal anything, and never leave your practice attempts for creating a forged receipt outside in plain view.
