Man Allegedly Steals SUV To Make Court Appearance

VALLEJO, Calif. (CBS13) ― It's a new one from the stupid criminal files. An Oakland man allegedly stole a car today in order to make a court appearance in Vallejo where he was scheduled to face car theft charges.

It was a very bold move by the man.

"He was laughing at his own stupidity," said Ofc. Chris Linehan, CHP.

Linehan says the man's arrest was the easiest one he ever made.

The vehicle: a 2000 land rover. It's a luxury SUV that was equipped with a LoJack device.

The arrest happened in the parking lot of the Vallejo Courthouse. The man was on his cell phone when the officer walked up to the car. The man looked at the officer and said: "It's not my car." Ofc. Linehan replied: "We know."
