POMONA -- A suspected burglar using a chain and pickup truck to steal an ATM from a market this morning failed to escape capture when his prosthetic leg fell off. Gregory Daniels, 48, was arrested on suspicion of burglary. A second man fled the scene and was not in custody.
The pair smashed a large glass window of the Pomona Ranch Market at 2277 N. Garey Ave. about 3 a.m., police said.
They used a chain and a truck to yank a bolted-down ATM from a concrete floor. Police came to the area and spotted the getaway car.
Officers followed the men into a residential neighborhood. The men drove onto a dead-end street and stopped. Police said one of the men escaped, but Daniels, who had tried to flee, was on the ground because his prosthetic leg fell off.
No, he learned from the last attempt how not to lose a real leg.
This time, he's learning how to make sure he's strapped the prothesis on properly.
Maybe next time, he'll get it all together.
Practice, practice, practice!
“Mr Bear; please put your paw across the stump. This won’t take long...”
Unless the bear is in the mood for something fast...
This is WHY they are criminals; they are too stupid to hold a job.
About 30 years ago, thieves broke into a business, and made off with a 600+ pound safe, at Riverside, CA. They drove into a nearby orange grove, and proceeded to try cutting it open, shielded from prying eyes by the trees.
Police found it a couple of days later, with the door WELDED SHUT on three sides. ITMT, the owner said that all he had in it were old tax returns etc; no valuables.
Those geniuses didn't know the difference between gas cutting & welding torches.
He got a rise out of the cops.
I'm stumped, too.

Something tells me there’s a Blues Song in this story somewhere!

The best gun for protection against bear is a .22 LR pistol. Shoot one of your companions in the leg with the pistol and start running.
[Apologies to whomever I stole that from.]
I hate when this happens.
Mary Lou got married at a young age. She was nervous about the wedding night, but her mother assured her she could call at any time for advice. Mom had, how shall we say this, a lot of experience with men. There wasn’t a situation she didn’t know how to handle.
So the big night came, and Mary Lou was very nervous. She called her mom several times for advice.
“Mom, we’ve checked into the motel, but I don’t know what to do next.”
“Go into the bathroom, and put on the pretty white nightgown I packed in your luggage.”
A few minutes later, “Mom, I haven’t had the nightgown for five minutes, and he’s trying to take it off me.”
“That’s okay, Honey. He’s supposed to do that. Now you start taking his clothes off.”
As Mary Lou removes his pants, she discovers he has a prosthetic leg. “Mom, I took his pants off, and he only has one foot.”
“Honey, you better let your good old Mom handle this one. I’ll be right over.”
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!
LOL...I'll have to remember that...
At least he wasn’t arrested for soliciting a prosthetist.
Your story is even better!
:^) It helps to go camping with people you don’t like.
Like I told F. J. Mitchell, it helps to go camping with people you don’t like.
Better yet, always camp with people you despise. ;-)
