Stupid Criminal Stories...I love them....from The Pensacola News Journal I LOVE what the police officer says....
Auto thieves snagged returning to scene of the crime
Gas station employee Pam Pease recognized her car Tuesday night when it pulled up to the fuel pump as she swept up cigarette butts.
It was the same beloved blue 1994 Ford Escort station wagon. The one with a missing hub cap. The one with the Missouri license plate that she had reported stolen less than an hour earlier at the Parade gas station at 3050 North W Street.......
......"It just blew my mind, but there they were," Pease, 49, said of the two suspects in the theft. "Maybe they forgot where they stole it from. I'm glad it was low on gas."
......."That's a new one. Maybe they were lost," Sgt. Ted Roy, Sheriff's Office spokesman, said Wednesday. "Crimes like that are good for our job security."
Parade employee Vince Nguyen told deputies the two men matched the description of a pair who asked him for a ride to Mississippi just before 7 p.m. as he was arriving for work. Nguyen realized Pease's car was missing about 7:30 p.m. Pease still had the keys.
Pease was sweeping up the parking lot about 8 p.m. when she saw the Escort stop at the pump.
Nguyen, who speaks Spanish, asked the men why they returned.
"They told him they needed gas," Pease said............
