I couldn't help laughing when I saw
this story in today's news. If you can't be
arsed clicking on the link, or it doesn't work, I'll summarise.
Someone was seen trying to break into cars in a casino parking lot in Florida. When police approached a completely innocent bystander
with 25 previous convictions for car theft who matched the perpetrator's description, he ran off and jumped into a lake. Such as you find in Florida's alligator-infested Everglades.
Sorry, but anyone who ignores a sign saying: "
Danger! Live Alligators!" deserves what they get.
This is even better than the one about another criminal who
jumped over a low wall to escape the police. It was only three feet high on his side. And twenty on the other. With a railway line at the bottom.
File under "self-inflicted".
