FUNNY NEWS: Burger King Employee Foils Robbery by Stealing Thieves' Getaway Car

A fast food employee is being lauded by police for his fast thinking after foiling a robbery at a Burger King in Stockton, Calif. As two hamburlgars stormed the restaurant brandishing guns and demanding cash, an employee snuck out a back door, according to KOVR-TV in Sacramento.

The employee found the thieves' idling getaway vehicle in the parking lot, hopped in and drove off, stashing the car around the block. 

"I haven't heard of any employee actually leaving a business, getting inside the suspect vehicle and trying to hide it," Stockton officer Joe Silva told reporters.

When the thieves realized their car had been taken, then took off on foot and hid in a nearby field.

Police soon found the two suspects, Gabriel Gonzalez and Jeremy Lovitt, and arrested them. 

They've been charged with armed robbery.

*Culled from YAHOO NEWS!!*

Note:

LMAO!! We couldn't help but share this hillarious story...dumb theives!! Can't  help but imagine the confusion when they came out and couldn't find the car. 

Gabriel: Hey J,where's the car? What we gonna do now? 

Jeremy: Run!"

LOL!!! ROTFL

ARTS: "TO LOVE A GHOST" - THE SYNOPSIS (SHOWING @ TERRA CULTURE VI - 26TH MAY 2013 - 3PM & 6PM)

Lois, a young and naive girl has been betrayed by the very institutions that should have protected her. And now, she is stuck!….Stuck in Limbo waiting to die! Her bitterness and  frustration is expressed in the tale ….a long walk in the corridor of life paved with anguish and despair.

I am…was…is…who am I? What am i? …a GHOST?

To Love A Ghost tells the intriguing yet gripping story of the travails of child abuse, a disturbing trend that continues to be rampant in our society and even the world over.

The story revolves around a young girl, Lois, who learns about life and love a little too fast and a little too hard. She is abused and maltreated by people who should give her protection and guidance in her journey through life.

Drawing from the theatrical arsenal of suspense, humour and unnerving reality, Ita Hozaife, the playwright brings into dramatic reality, the vicissitudes of the life of the protagonist.

The playwright dramatizes the many contradictions of life whilst the play’s thematic thrust brings to the mind Mahatma Ghandi’s assertion decades ago that, “The world has enough to satisfy man’s need, but not enough for his greed.”

“TO LOVE A GHOST”

STARRING: Ade Laoye, Paul Alumona, Debbie Ohiri & more

Directed by the AMVCA nominee, Kenneth Uphopho, 

Written by Ita Hozaife and produced by Paw Studios
