Didn't want to hijack the thread about the two guys with the light pole, but we had an interesting situation here a couple of days ago.
The Nebraska State Patrol stopped a car, for what reason I never heard. Anyway, the three guys in the car all bailed out and took out running. Two were caught fairly easily, but one stole a pickup from a neighbor a mile up the road from me. This rocket scientist then drove to a Casey's store and asked a fellow how to get to the Interstate. By coincidence, the fellow he asked knows our neighbor and recognized the pickup.
Now, what's wrong with this scene? A young, barefoot black male driving a pickup owned by a 70 year old white male in a county that's at least 98% white. Driving a pickup with our county's license plates 3 miles from the Interstate and he doesn't know how to get there?
The fellow the thief asked for directions was not aware of the chase in progress, but he was suspicious enough to call the law anyway. They caught the kid with the pickup shortly after he was on the Interstate. At least he got that far.
You can't make this stuff up.
