Choosing the right mask is an important part of most criminals plans. However, this guy from Louisiana shows us that even a bucket can suffice as a makeshift mask.

It just doesn't work very well, plus and you look mighty stupid on security camera footage.

You can see video of this buffoon in the ABC News clip below, but the 23-year-old tried to rob a seafood store where he used to work. He had a gun and a giant bucket on his head during the robbery.  According to ABC News, said bucket caused him to run in to a few things and forced him to keep lifting the bucket up to see what was going on.

As it turns out, buckets don’t make good masks because police were still able to identify the crook.

Imagine that.

I probably have seven things in my car that would have made a better “mask” than a giant mop bucket. But hey, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he was just a really big Buckethead fan.
