Marked man

Today's crime tip: If you're planning a career as an armed robber, it's better to forgo identifiable tattoos all over your face. Also, Play-Doh does not make a serviceable bomb.

Matthew Alexander Rivera learned these lessons the hard way after trying to use his fake bomb to rob a lingerie shop in Fayetteville, NC. The 27-year-old genius was arrested after a standoff with police, and now faces kidnapping charges.

Authorities said the "bomb" was made of Play-Doh, a wire and some batteries.
