Musashi22 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Would-Be Car Thief Locks Himself In Trunk( Fresno, Calif. -AP, April 26, 2005) ? Getting locked in a car trunk is bad enough, but locking yourself in the trunk of the car you're trying to rip off is worse. Sheriff's Lt. Louis Hernandez said a man captured Sunday deserved an award for "dumbest criminal of the day." A security guard called police when he heard banging coming from the inside of a car trunk, and authorities figured a crime victim was locked inside. But police said it turned out the "victim" was apparently the perp. According to investigators, the man crawled into the trunk while he was ransacking the car. But he managed to lock himself inside as he was trying to climb out. Police have not released the suspect's name. He's been booked on two counts of theft. Source :yes:s: I agree, he should get the dumbest crimnal award... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderRiver Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 mm.. that's good to know. Honestly, I never knew such feature existed (because I don't fool around by locking myself in the trunk). I presume it applies to cars like Mercedes, Lexus, BMW, Volvo, and etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theresiststance2003 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I drive a Focus, and it has that release in the trunk. So no, it's not limited to luxury cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
