Dumb Criminal (sort of)
This happened across the mountains in
Spokane:
bq. Three men streaking through the warmth of a Denny's restaurant were chilled and chagrined when they spotted a thief driving away in their getaway car, their clothing inside.
bq. Naked in the 20-degree weather, the three young men huddled behind cars in an adjacent parking lot until police arrived.
bq. "I don't think they were hiding. I think they were just concealing themselves," police spokesman Dick Cottam said.
bq. The trio, wearing only shoes and hats, entered the restaurant in north Spokane at about 5 a.m. Wednesday. They left their car running outside so they could make a quick exit.
bq. But a man eating inside the restaurant saw the running vehicle and stole it, along with the streakers' clothes, Cottam said.
bq. The streakers watched through the windows as their car drove away, Cottam said. They ran outside but could not catch it.
DOH!
