A DOPEY duo were dubbed ‘Dumb and Dumber’ yesterday after they posed for
selfies in a stolen motor — then posted the snaps on Facebook.
Stuart Baillie, 22, and pal Brandon Jennings, 19, bragged about nicking the
Toyota Aygo online and uploaded a series of snaps to pals.
Baillie even used one pic as his cover photo on Facebook and wrote underneath
it: “ #Jammin me and bj on are p’s n q’s.”
But the pair now face arrest after furious victim Ross Jones issued an online
appeal to get his mum-in-law’s car back.
Ceiling fitter Ross, 29, was swamped with photographs of the suspects sitting
in the Toyota with his son’s car seat still visible in the background.
Dad-of-two Ross said: “Within minutes I had the names of the two lads.
How stupid can you get posting photographs of yourself in a car that you’ve
nicked?
“But it just sums up the youth of today – they have no respect. They
should be out working not stealing cars.
“People work hard for a living and should be able to get up in a morning
without their car being taken.”

Ross, from Heywood, Manchester added: “I just hope they get caught and
get the punishment they deserve.”
Last night, Ross’s post had been shared more than 3,500 times.
Ross has told the police the thieves’ identities – but they are yet to be
arrested.
He said: “Baillie is well known to the police but they haven’t managed to
track him down yet.”
The car was stolen from his mum-in-law’s home in Heywood on Sunday night, cops
said.
Since then Baillie and Jennings have received a barrage of abuse on Facebook.
One pal wrote: “Hahaha where the car jacked from lad?”
Others branded the pair “thieving scum” and named them “Dumb
and Dumber” after the hit Jim Carey film for posting the snaps.
One wrote: “Talk about grassing yourselves up, showing off in a stolen
car!! clowns.”
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: “We have been made aware of
the theft and investigations are ongoing.
“No arrests have been made at this time.”
