Employee Foils Robbery by Stealing Thieves

[Hum]

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. :p

Police soon found the two suspects, Gabriel Gonzalez and Jeremy Lovitt, and arrested them. They?ve been charged with armed robbery.

Twist: The criminals sue the employee and the restaurant making them millions of dollars in a settlement!

Fear can help you do courageous things. :D

So technically, the employee should be fired for grand theft auto??

Nah seriously, quick thinking and job well done :)

^ I woulda took out the car keys, and wrote down the license -- would be less trouble. ;)
