His tattoo left an impression.

Witnesses spotted Samuel Moore’s mark as he was bungling a stickup at a supermarket in Long Beach, Calif.

The tattoo read “not guilty.”

It was such convincing evidence that Moore, 26, pleaded guilty to attempted armed robbery.

John Woods of Georgetown, Texas, probably never heard the saying, “You can’t fight city hall.”

He’s broken into city halls all over Texas in the past year, stealing a total of about $100,000.

Woods admitted to 33 city-hall capers after he was caught with burglary tools and loot in the Cedar Park municipal building.

And he told cops the number may be higher – he pulled off so many, he can’t remember them all.

A body painter in Lucerne, Switzerland, was fined $150 for polluting.

It seems that after decorating the bodies of 124 women in a bid to break the world body-painting record, he realized he had forgotten to provide shower facilities for his human canvases.

He solved the problem by having them wash the paint off in a nearby lake. That’s when environmental officials slapped him with the fine – they claimed his bright paints were harmful to the plants and animals in the lake.

A man who robbed a Salvation Army donation kettle outside a Tucson, Ariz., drugstore was knocked down by a car as he fled.

Police said Edward Sanders grabbed the red pot, containing $53.97, after a brief struggle with a 60-year-old Salvation Army volunteer who suffers from cerebral palsy.

“I think God has a poetic sense of justice,” said Police Sgt. Dan Snyder.

Todd Nelson, an employee of the Miami-Dade County clerk’s office in Florida, collected more than $17,000 in vacation pay over six months after allegedly lying to his boss that he was on jury duty.

Officials say Nelson was summoned to federal jury duty, but the court ended up not needing him. He quit his job in October after bosses pressed him for proof of his service.

Nelson, 33, now faces charges of grand theft and official misconduct.
