Catch Ya Later…
A local man is involved in a car accident. When the police arrive, the man gives his driver’s license to the officer, and then literally turns and runs away. The officer doesn't give chase, but does check him through the computer. His car is also registered to him and everything is proper. The officer simply tows the man's car, drives over to his house and issues him a ticket.
Oops!!
Two Kentucky men tried to pull off the front of a cash machine by running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper off the truck. They panicked and fled, leaving the chain still attached to the machine, their bumper still attached to the chain, and their license plate still attached to the bumper.
This looks like a safe place…
An El Paso, Texas, man busted into a church and absconded with the safe. Safes are heavy, so he only got a few yards before dropping it on a neighbor’s lawn, where he tried to crack it open. That’s when he was confronted by the home’s occupant—a police officer.
The Telltale Trousers
When an attempted robbery at a Lowes Home Improvement store went awry, Milton J. Hodges fled across the street and jumped a fence … right into the Cypress Cove Nudist Resort & Spa. As the Orlando Sentinel pointed out, “As one of the only folks wearing clothing,” Hodges was easily spotted by police.
"Who're you gonna trust: yourself, or yourself?"
How convenient! Only a few months earlier, an Iowa City, Iowa, man had his driver’s license stolen. Then who should show up at the bar where he worked as a bouncer, but the thief brandishing the bouncer’s very own license as his form of ID.
That’s the WURST!
In San Antonio, Texas, police arrested a woman Tuesday evening suspected of stealing a pallet of sausage worth more than $6,000 from the Kiolbassa Provision Company.
Regina Shaw, a former employee, was caught on camera Sept. 14 taking a pallet of meat with an estimated value of more than $6,400 dollars from the company. Shortly after the theft, a man who had purchased some of the hot meat wrote a letter to the company explaining that not only had he purchased a few boxes of sausage from Shaw, 45, but had also accepted additional meat to settle a debt that Shaw could not repay.
