If you're looking into becoming an enterprising criminal, don't be like these guys. Why? Because these two super slick robbers stole security cameras... without bothering to steal the security cam's footage. Meaning they were recorded stealing by the items they stole. Read More >

Sometimes it's hard to tell if the site you're on is legit. But if you stumbled on HitManForHire.net, what would you think? A joke, right? Turns out its owner was dead serious. I can't believe I have to explain this, but: If you plan to commit crime, don't announce it online. Okay? Read More >

Bungee jumping is already the scariest thing in the world, so how does one make it EVEN SCARIER? By going the homemade, DIY-route.

So this happened. Though he wishes to remain anonymous, this unnamed editor-in-chief of our American Gizmodo counterpart just received his latest purchase in the mail. It's terrifying, and £50, and from Hot Topic. Read More >

I've long been over the ridiculously overpriced-ness of idiotic Vertu phones. 300 grand for a dumbphone? Whatever, the stupid rich who spend that stupidly are beyond saving anyway. But Vertu has hit a new low (or high?) with this one: a £121 Vertu USB cable. Read More >

Wait for it. Wait for it. Waaaait for it. By the end, you'll see how to very easily and very sadly lose £2,000 in 24 seconds. The video was filmed with a Canon 5D Mark II in Cannon Beach, Oregon by Kurtis Hough. [Vimeo] Read More >
