2016 World’s dumbest criminal. Hell, he should have already known that you get what you pay for, when you buy from Cars 4 Less!!!!
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.
Should have stolen him a car first ….then go to the Texaco station…money is short and times are hard….like monopoly…go straight to jail do not pass go and he aint collecting $200…
So he will go down in history as ‘the broke down bandit”.
Another tale for the dumb criminals novel.
Someone , PLEASE – tell me this story is not true / I’ll bet he checks his gas tank next time ?
If you’re gonna go into a life of crime you need to work out daily and make sure your get away vehicle has proper tags, lights and in good working order. It always makes me laugh to see a cop in full gear run down a suspect wearing sneakers and light clothing. Being a good criminal is harder than working an honest job, I never get my burger the way I order it.
LOL @ DLo
I guess he forgot to check the oil and water before departing in strange vehicle,maybe next time.
A reliable vehicle is a great asset when seconds count.
I guess he should have robbed an Autozone instead.
