Topic: Bait Cars Take on a Whole New Meaning

Aside from being a high-tech way to nab thieves, bait cars provide a rare look at the initial moments of a common crime. Most of the time, it's not that exciting, officers said, because most interceptions take place within about two minutes and most arrests within four.

But not always. In one Loudoun incident that has become infamous among area police departments, a man stole a bait vehicle and was able to drive it from Leesburg to Southeast Washington because of technical difficulties. Police eventually got the suspect, minutes after the camera caught him smoking crack and masturbating. He had spent part of his ride urinating in a soda can, then drinking his urine to try to quell a case of the hiccups. He also vomited twice.

Now that video is NOT going on "world's dumbest criminals".

[ShyGuy]

Wow..... that is.... wow. Hiccups FTW.

[Caliban]

Whoa, that's some crazy sh!t, but then again he's a crack-head.

[Crimm]

Does the story mention if it cured his hiccups?

[Sir_Stabbalot]

Fake. If there was a hint of truth to this it would be funny. Pryopizm phails.

Fake?  Are you kidding me?  Here's the URL, fool.

...I'm sorry I ever doubted you. It's just you gave no URL link at first, and that story just seemed so odd. But wow, now I'm speechless that someone could be that dumb.

Sounds like you don't work in tech support.

Jeez, that guy has just got to be a mess.  Of all the ones not to catch right away, they get the guy who's totally lost the plot.
