Chilling crime: Streakers in restaurant watch as their car stolen

Three men who went streaking through a Denny's restaurant were chilled and chagrined when they spotted a thief drive off in their getaway car, their clothes inside.

Naked in the 20-degree weather, the three young men huddled behind cars in a parking lot until police arrived.

ROTFLMHO

[Riley]

Should've worn just shoes and shirts, pointed to the sign that specifies such for service, and asked to be seated.

[hapy]

god is this funny!
I hope they got their car back

[dighton]

...

[Gerasimov]

20 degree weather????
Can you imagine the shrinkage factor by the time the cops arrived?

Morons.

I'd love to have seen the look on the car thieves face as he's pulling off and some naked guys are chasing him through the lot... (What the..F?)

[nevergore]

Bwahahahaha.....

I thought streaking died in the '70s except for European Soccer matches....

NeverGore :^)

[Eala]

"We always tell people to not leave their car running."

Especially running in the buff.

[Tijeras_Slim]

ISH!

[Prodigal Son]

The getaway car shoulda had a getaway driver.

[GSWarrior]

Shrinkage.

[petuniasevan]

*Snicker* -- Spokane Washington in January is NOT a place to go "clothing optional".

Looks like they also became "car optional".


HAHAHAHAHA...

[GOPologist]

Ditto, slb!!!! I almost spewed my tea all over my PC when I started to read this article.

[mad puppy]

If they would have frozen to death at least they might have been recognised in the Darwin awards. Now they have to go back to what I'm sure are their shrivelled little lives.

[John Beresford Tipton]

As George Costanza points out:
"Shrinkage"!

[Jaded]

Fer yer collection....

[N. Theknow]

Should have brought along a Native American to watch the car by running around it.

Leave the injun running

[T Lady]

What idiots! I thought streaking became passe in the '80s.

Thought you all might need a little humor this afternoon.

This reminds me of the streaking when I was attending college in Bowling Green, KY in the early 1970's. One moron decided to streak the Student Union bldg one night. He ran through a set of double doors, through the lobby and was headed out another set of double doors when he realized there was a campus cop coming through the doors.
Gottcha!

[gov_bean_ counter]

These folks were just exhibitionists. If they were real streakers, they would have chased after the car.

[SquirrelKing]

[avg_freeper]

Don't look Ethel!

[GOPologist]

They should have done their streaking where the temp. is 3 degrees above zero whereI live they would have really shrunk!!!

[Alberta's Child]

Hold muh nuts alert . . .

[Billthedrill]

So...does anyone remember that quintessential rock 'n' roll band, "Stark Naked and the Car Thieves?"

[r9etb]

They left their car running so they could make a quick escape.

Well, I think the real reason is that they didn't like their options as to where to put the keys....

[hispanarepublicana]

Hold muh hot chocolate 'n watch this!

[Oztrich Boy]

"I don't think they were hiding. I think they were just concealing themselves," police spokesman Dick Cottam said.

err...good point

[capt. norm]

" Now they have to go back to what I'm sure are their shrivelled little lives."

In that cold air I think it was more than just their lives that were shrivelled.

[honeygrl]

ping

[You Dirty Rats]

Car Back??

At that temperature, they'd need a search-and-rescue team to find their johnsons!

I thought streaking died in the '70s except for European Soccer matches....

Not so! Streaking has been a "hot" topic this year here!

From this article:

LU Administration: the overbearing mother you never had

By Katharine Enoch

The Lawrence administration has chosen to discourage students from participating in senior class events following the Senior Dinner.

Not only do these "events" include the infamous and long-awaited Senior Streak, but also the social gathering of graduating seniors and faculty members in the VR: the last informal opportunity to gather together with everyone with whom you've spent the last four years.

The events are not the issue here. The act of streaking is not only a tradition on the Lawrence campus, as well as many other college campuses around the nation, but a completely legal and good-natured act.

The Lawrence campus is private property and students have to legal right to streak if they so choose. As long as students do not approach College Avenue or any other public areas where they might be seen, there is nothing illegal about Senior Streak.

This year, however, Lawrence administration is threatening to call the police if any naked seniors are spotted on campus.

On top of the administration's seeming desire to play policeman with students, they have also taken the initiative to close down the VR on the night of Senior Streak.

It is understandable why they would want to limit alcohol consumption in order to maintain the spirit of the evening, but closing the VR will only encourage students to drink privately, completely removing the reuniting social purpose of the night.

These students are over the age of 21 and have been given the right by the U.S. government to consume alcohol. Taking that privilege away completely will not solve anything, but it will break up the senior class into independent, underground parties and anger many students whose contribution to Lawrence is supposedly being celebrated on this night.

Rather than dissolving the tradition completely, the Lawrence administration should be trying to shift the emphasis of the night away from getting wasted and more toward enjoying the opportunity to party with classmates and faculty members.

Closing the central gathering area for the night (the VR) is completely working against that idea. Let's face it: Senior Streak is the most widely attended event on campus all year!

If the administration continues fighting the students on this issue, the students will continue to push back in attempts to regain their rights and well as their traditions.

Hopefully our administration is clever enough to realize that the only approach that can be taken on this issue is compensation.

It is the students' right to streak as U.S. citizens, it is their right to streak as seniors having completed the four years of a Lawrence education, and it is their right to streak as the classes before them have.

Oh my god!!!!
Justice served!!!!!

LOL, oh man, thanks for the laugh.

SerpentDove alerted me to this story this AM, but I couldn't find it at the time.

"I don't think they were hiding. I think they were just concealing themselves," police spokesman Dick Cottam said.

I can see why he has that gig. He's very well-spoken.

[Constitution Day]

Duh...

Department of Redundancy Department, anyone? LOL!!

[hellinahandcart]

"I don't know how you guys walk around with those things."

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

The getaway car shoulda had a getaway driver.

The trouble was, it did . . . I doubt if that thing drove itself!

[Freemyland]

In a restaurant? I hope they remembered their hair nets.

[Rebelbase]

"Should've worn just shoes and shirts, pointed to the sign that specifies such for service, and asked to be seated."

A couple of thong/body painted only fur protestors(one was a complete babe) tried to get out of the freezing cold in a downtown coffee shop I was at around Thanksgiving.

The manager threw them out for not having shoes/shirts.

[Eaker]

Something that Humblegunner would do ping!!!!

[Tijeras_Slim]

This is my rifle, this is my... oops!

[Teacher317]

Odd that the responses here are nothing like the the ones posted to the woman who drove the car with the naked "artwork" on it to her kid's school. I would think that a live nude show would be worse than lewd nude pictures.

[New Horizon]

"I don't think they were hiding. I think they were just concealing themselves," police spokesman Dick Cottam said.

I fail to see the difference, Dick.

[Xenalyte]

Do we know where HG was on the night in question?

[New Horizon]

Hold muh nuts alert...

In that weather, good luck finding 'em.

[ErnBatavia]

At that temperature, they'd need a search-and-rescue team to find their johnsons!

"It was an itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie"...

At least in my day, my buds and I were smart enough to do what we called a "stroll" (indoors only)...be at a party, step out and quicky nekkidize, go back in and just kind of mingle for a few minutes!

[New Horizon]

Oh, and thanks for bringing us that Alberta Clipper yesterday.

I think we have about 10" of the white stuff here.

I'm sure glad I bought a 4x4 last year...

[CougarGA7]

Ummm...........BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You know at some point one of the boys looked at the other and said, "You said it was a perfect plan, you A******."

[neverdem]

LOL PING

[humblegunner]

Something that Humblegunner would do ping!!!!

Which, steal the car or streak the restaurant? ;-)
