A Seattle woman tried to flee cops in a huge stolen truck — with an extendable cherry picker.
The chase ended when she crashed into a power pole, where the cherry picker, at least, might have been useful.

When a Tennessee man’s car got blocked into a parking space by another vehicle, he decided he would move it out of the way — even though the vehicle was an ambulance.
He got into it, started the engine and began to edge it forward.
Unfortunately, the medics were in the middle of loading a patient as he did this. He was quickly arrested.

You’d think trespassers would stay away from your property when your “guard dogs” are actually 120 lions, tigers and other big cats.
