Everyone likes it when a stupid criminal gets caught. There were two in the same newspaper yesterday:
This story from the Chester Standard features a man who stole a car then made his escape from it through snow. I'm quite impressed that after a decade of Tory cuts and them shutting down all of the Police Stations that they employed a helicopter and dogs to catch this particular not very bright thief.
Their second story features a woman who managed to get stopped 4 times (3 on the same road) this Year (and it is still mid January) driving while disqualified.
Meanwhile, from North Carolina, we have another fine effort from my favourite motoring journalist - Ezra Dyer. It involves a thick hick called Hicks and this tractor which he stole:
That photo was taken after the event - note the missing tyre that had been shot by Police.
Dyer writes for Car+Driver and I have featured several of his stories in my Blog - all worth a look. Here is this one.
Hicks led Police on a 20mph chase and gave Dyer the chance to use the phrase, "our ornery protagonist took a turn that led him to run out of road" which is quite poetic and nearly as good as his reference to GTA (Grand Theft Agriculture)
