"Car Thief" joke
Las Vegas -
An accused car thief might have earned an "A" for effort, but he was arrested anyway. Recently, detectives from the repeat offender unit spotted a suspected car thief - identified as Juliano Rosado, 29 - in a new car with a temporary license tag.
A quick call to the dealer revealed the car had been stolen. When the man parked the car, detectives obtained a duplicate key and took the car back. When the man came out of his home, he looked in vain but couldn't find the stolen car.
Police say he then went to another car dealership and stole a pickup truck. The results were the same: Detectives watched him drive off in the truck, then used a spare key to recover the vehicle after the suspect parked and entered a pawnshop. "When he came out he started looking up the street, waiting to see the truck, you could see his shoulders slump when he saw it wasn't there," police said.
Undaunted, he took a public bus to a Toyota dealership and stole a sport utility vehicle, at which point police arrested him. (AP)
