Out of Gas, Brains

Monday, December 3rd, 2007 • Filed under Cars, Theft

Gas prices has become an issue that’s really stuck in my craw. Any issue where it directly affects my pocketbook, checking account or ability to sell a kidney will always tick me off.

Just imagine how much it pissed this guy off. According to CBS 13 News, police caught a man accused of stealing a woman’s purse after his car ran out of gas.

Maybe he thought the “E” stood for, “Eh, it’s enough to get you across the Mexican border.”

Police responding to the theft call found the guy’s car stranded on the side of the road with the woman’s purse sitting in his car. They caught the guy returning to his car with a gasoline can. There’s no word on whether he remembered to put gasoline in the can on his way back from the gas station as well.
