My vote for "dumbest criminals" were the four guys who escaped from the county jail. They thought they were so smart--hatching a plan to escape, taking advantage of the "dumb, hick deputies," getting more smug as they thought they were being proven right...only to mistake falling Christmas lights for machine gun fire. I'd like to think the Mayberry Gazette had a field day with that story, a wire service picked it up, and the four men's names were splashed coast to coast as four men who were done in by Christmas lights. I would like to think Jack Paar even made a monologue joke about it on his show that week.
