FIRST YOU STEAL THE GETAWAY CAR, THEN YOU STEAL THE GOODS

Two would-be theives might have gotten away with lifting a 55-inch flat-screen TV -- if only they had brought a car which was big enough to fit the TV into. Responding to an alarm call at a TV and appliance store in Middletown, Ohio last week, the police quickly spotted a tiny Mercury Sable trying to get away with the big-screen TV hanging out the side of the open back door. The couple was promptly arrested. (AP)
