Master Car Thief, Steals car on E.
Do you remember when your driving instructor taught you always to check your gauges before heading off anywhere? Turns out it was good advice, but apparently, car thieves never got the memo. Last week in Coos Bay, Oregon, a man car jacked a young woman’s Honda Civic at a local shopping plaza. Police say he threw the woman from her car before speeding off. However, the thief didn’t get very far, as he was only able to drive about 5 minutes before having to stop and get gas, turns out the car was on empty when he stole it. Trying to avoid drawing attention to him and his stolen ride, the car thief pulled into the local gas station, calm and collected. As he was walking into the building though, local authorities went flying by hot in pursuit of the stolen vehicle. According to the station attendant the man grew agitated when he saw the cops, but had a weird look of relief on his face when they passed by. After paying cash for a tank of gas, the man returned to the stolen car, thinking he had outwitted the cops. It turns out though that the police were smarter then they looked. It appeared they had passed the station by, but in reality, they had pulled in around the back of the building and cornered the man as he filled the car. Noticing the cops, what did this genius decide to do? Why drive the car straight into a lamppost of course! After the accident, police were able to apprehend the master car thief, restoring peace and sanity to Coos Bay, Oregon again.
