Hitching a Ride to Prison
Thursday, July 9th, 2009 • Filed under Banks, Cars, Robberies
I’ve never understood the concept of hitchhiking as something other than a last resort. I don’t like it when people I know ride in my car. Why would I want a stranger who smells like he hasn’t bathed since the last Great Depression?
One bank robber got a ride from the scene of his crime by a police detective, according to the AP.
He robbed the bank, then flagged down a ride from an undercover cop and asked him to take him home. I hope the officer was nice enough to drive him home.
Here’s an important question: why did he need a ride? Why didn’t he have a getaway vehicle? He must drive a Pontiac. Walking across a busy highway is a more dependable form of transportation.
