Out of Gas or out of luck, you decide.

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Charles Stallions Real Estate Services

At 10 pm last night one of the good ole boys decided he needed a little cash. So off to the convenient store he went, he walked into the first on and pulled a BB pistol out and ordered the clerk to give him the money. She placed it in a sack, gave it to him and off he went. Of course she called the police, but in the mean time he went directly across the street, I guess thinking how easy this was and did the same thing with the same results.

He headed south on 29 and got about four miles down the road and run out of gas. In the mean time the police arrived from the opposite end and was working the crime scene. The ole boy got out got his gas can out of the trunk and headed to south  to find a gas station. He looked into the bags of money and found out he had gotten $43. from one and $27. from the other. He never figured that while he was walking the police had driven by found his car and saw one of the bags on the front seat. They continued down the road and found him walking and pulled over to pick him. They of course arrested him. I have left out th names to protect the innocent stupid. This is a true story, it didn't happen here but I went to school with the guy and have been laughing all day after my sister sent me the article.

A dear family friend was a judge in Los Angeles Municpial Court.  She'd always tell me, "Carla, you'd be surprised what crooks are caught with!"  The duct tape, the wire cutters, the smoking gun.  YUP your story confirms this theory.  (Applying this theory to our current economy . . . oh nevermind.)

You need to be both stupid and to have had quite a few beers for that kind of thinking to make sense. Maybe he will have some time to think things over now. It's kind of sad really. Having had a son who was held up at gunpoint, I know the effect this can have on the service people involved and their families.

We always ask: "What were they thinking?"  And the answer has been, "If they thought like you and I do, they'd be doing what you and I do."  But in today's market, maybe that's what he was doing  : )

funny that you know him, went to school with him. I always wonder when I read stuff like this if the person is an addict, as that stuff can make you do stupid things.
