The area where this happened is fairly upscale and nothing criminal ever happens. I can almost see the parking lot from my office through an open field. The police station mentioned is maybe 50' from where my truck is parked everyday.

  I think you are going to get a kick out of this story; make sure you read the whole thing.

I dunno.   I think it's a tossup between the dumb criminal and the dumb judge that released him with no bond.  I'd be very surprised if he showed up for that court hearing.

I dunno either.  

But, the cops schooling him on where he messed up, and telling him he might have gotten away with it if he'd done it at night, weren't too bright either.

Maybe the crook is too dumb to learn by his mistakes or the advice of others.  I hope so, because in this case, it's possible that the cops are just as dumb.

 Ya I kind of thought the same thing. I was like why would you tell him that? Same thing about the bail what gives with that? If the guy needed money for a bus how could he come up with bail? Family member is equally stupid I guess.

 Still funny as heck though.

Instructions from the internet in the bag? lol

Do they normally make bail for someone who attempted to steal a car?

We had one here just this past week. A guy robbed a bank. He gave the teller a note which was written on the back of a traffic ticket he had received a little earlier. With his name and address on the ticket the police didn't have much trouble finding him.
