    Stupid news

    I started a thread like this years ago on a different forum and it did well. Many members contributed. Maybe it will be enjoyed here as well.

    Share if you read about someone doing something rather illogical.

    Police say a Florida man tried to trade in a vehicle from the same dealership he stole it from.
    WTLV-TV reports that Lake City police responded to a report of a stolen vehicle at a Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership on Monday. Employees told officers that a man was trying to trade in his vehicle for a new one.

    The employees checked the VIN number and found that the vehicle was stolen from the dealership’s lot a few days earlier.
    Police say the man admitted to stealing it. He was arrested on charges including grand theft of a motor vehicle and criminal mischief.
