Kevin Andrew Lutes of Bethlehem, PA may be the dumbest computer repairman ever. But he gets good marks on originality as I don’t think anyone else would be stupid enough to do this.

Lutes, who had fixed computers for Action Realty in the past, was called the day after the break-in to repair the broken computer’s hard drive. He told the owner he could retrieve her lost data and files.

Meanwhile, the owner of the company called the computer manufacturer, who told her it was impossible to retrieve the data without the hard drive. Police then discovered Lutes’ car, with a computer repair sticker on the door, was seen parked in front of the office on the night of the break-in.

On Friday, Lutes brought the computer back with all the lost data and tried to charge the company $50 an hour for 40 hours of work.

He gets our dumbass of the week award.
