SALINAS, Calif.(AP) — A pickup truck thief lost his purloined Chevy Silverado to an armed carjacker during a 7-Eleven stop. Police Cmdr. Kelly McMillin said "you couldn't make up something stranger than this."

A 33-year-old man told police he stole the pickup Saturday then, while sitting outside a convenience store, a man with a gun hopped in and ordered him to start driving.

The pickup ran out of gas and the gunman ordered him to get out and push, but the man managed to run away and call police.

Well there’s so many lessons in this short story I don’t know where to begin.  I guess #1 is “never steal a car that’s low on gas”, but #2 has to be the old Navajo expression, “what goes around comes around.”  I mean eventually if you keep stealing cars, eventually you’re going to steal one that’s already stolen, right?  I won't do the math, but the same theory explains why we have inbreds down South. Anyway, too bad the cops in this case were real cops. It would've only been fitting if they were strippers.

PS - Is "Car Jack" the movie a real movie? Needless to say, never heard of it.
