St. Pete cops said that Vanessa Nicole Brooks, 22, stole their cruiser while they were inside an apartment investigating a domestic quarrel, reports the Tampa Bay Times in St. Petersburg.

As Brooks backed the car up, she hit another police car before taking off.

Maybe she had a date with the Hamburglar.

Did she cut donuts in the parking lot?

[ConservativeStatement]

She has a role if there's a new Smokey and the Bandit movie.

Obviously no stranger to the system, and assured of “three hots and a cot” for the foreseeable future, Vanessa smiled for her booking photo.

From the article image of the perp, the Hamburglar would not touch hedr with a Liberal’s tool.

Even Laz would only hit her with a long stick, and from up wind at that.

Amish car theft?

[fungoking]

So, I'm guessing McRib is back?

The headline is incorrect...it’s not “womEn stole police cruiser” it’s “womAn stole police cruiser.” Women is plural, and woman is singular. From the story it looks like only one person was involved with the theft.

Based upon the headline alone and without looking further, I made two guesses. I was right on both counts. Hint: one of them was “Florida”.

[Revolting cat!]

She do0n’t look like no ‘Vanessa’, she looks like a ‘LaShondra’!

[Revolting cat!]

She don’t look like no ‘Vanessa’, she looks like a ‘LaShondra’!

[Revolting cat!]

Smart, very smart! By driving to a MickeyD’s and not as expected to a Dunkin Dognuts she tried to mislead the pursuing parties!

The charges will be dropped for stealing the police car but she’ll get life in prison for buying a happy meal.

The Tampa Bay Times has the title correct using ‘woman’. The Sun used that story but screwed up the title.

Before taking the police vehicle the woman flagged down a truck, she reached inside and stole a cell phone and then ran back into the apartment complex. The driver chased her so she ran back into the parking lot got into the police vehicle and left. The police spotted the vehicle at McDonalds which she then abandoned and ran away on foot before they caught her. When she abandoned the vehicle it was in gear and it backed into a tree. So she has multiple charges pending.

I’ll bet there was one of those evil assault rifles in the trunk of the police car encouraging this woman to pursue a life of crime.

[TurboZamboni]

If they’re out of chicken nuggets, she can put out her own APB.

MacRib is back!

Come on. Who here hasn't done this?

“Come on. Who here hasn’t done this?”

In a dump truck and a school bus. But never a cop car. Funny thing, the cops frown on using those vehicles too.
