Something less than Criminal Masterminds....

[Gwaimir Windgem]

As there are countless stories of the more dim lawbreakers/would-be-lawbreakers, I thought it could be interesting to open a topic to share such stories on.

I'll start, with a true story.

One day, my mom was driving down the road, passing pedestrians, etc. As she came up to a stop sign, a man suddenly jumped into her car. Directly thereafter, she jumped out, and the man sped off in her car. So she walked to a gas station and reported the crime to the police.
The man was arrested, filling the tank of the vehicle with gas, three blocks down the road. He told the officer that he had thought that the car was on fire, so he jumped in to help the lady. For some bizaare reason, she jumped out of the car. So he noticed that it was low on gas, and decided to go get her some gas. I'll forget this whole thing, officer, if you do.

(By the way, the vehicle was, if I remember, a white 1960's Cadillac convertible with the top down, and red gold bags in the back seat. Nice and inconspicuous.)
