"Too tired to walk," man steals police car
Can we get an 'intelligence meter' to compliment our collection? It would come in handy, especially in SW Asia. Until then:
TOKYO, Feb 6 (Reuters Life!) - A Japanese man told police he stole a patrol car that had been left idling outside a post office in Gunma, north of Tokyo, because he was too tired to walk home.
Poor dear.
Police officers had left the vehicle in the car park with the engine running, while they investigated a report that a stolen card had been used at the post office, the Mainichi newspaper said on Tuesday.
"Leave the gun keys, take the Cannoli!
"I came out shopping by train, but I got tired walking, so I thought I would drive the police car home," the man told police.
Well, aren't WE feeling entitled today??
He was apprehended about 15 minutes later in the driveway of a private home, about 4 kms (2.5 miles) from the post office, the Mainichi said.
