This story reminds me of an old acquaintance of mine who did a bit of time for doing something similar.
About 20 years ago, he and his accomplice broke into a bottle shop some time after midnight, taking a slab of beer and a couple of bottles of whiskey (I think, from memory).
A few hours later, while they were enjoying the beer, the police knocked on their front door.
BUSTED!
During the breaking, one of the two, I have forgotten which one, cut themselves on the window they entered through.
It was a simple matter of following the blood trail back to the burglar’s home for the police to "catch their man".
Our circle of friends found great amusement at the stupidity of their actions at the time.
Pity though, apart from his tendency to do that sort of thing, he was a pretty cool guy and funny too, just not that bright when it came to getting away with stuff.

I would say that the average level of school completion in jail is 6th grade. I was in there for a...ahem...traffic violation. These people were literally asking me to write letters to girlfriends or judges etc. because they couldn't read or write. Very sad.
