Two days later, the same couple tried again, this time planning a “push out” of about 60 cans before ditching the cans when alerted by an accomplice that police were outside waiting for them. “I think …

If you steal a car, it's probably not a good idea to take one that doesn't work very well.
UPDATE: During an interview with police, Olsen denied taking the car on Nicholson Road, but said he put his truck in the ditch in Oak Creek because the truck forced him off the road. Olsen admitted that he told two different stories to police and his probation officer, but he claimed that even though the stories are different – they are the truth. However, officials with the Oak Creek Police Department told investigators with the Caledonia Police Department that the owner of the truck didn’t wan to press charges since it wasn’t worth much. So, the investigation is now closed. OLDER STORY: A Racine man was found sleeping in a barn after he allegedly stole a car at 7:28 a.m. Friday, Oct. 7 at 8024 Nicholson Road. Robert Grove found Jonathan …

Those poor criminals. They (Democrats) need to give out more welfare. We obviously aren't giving them enough because after they pay the cable bill, the I phone bill, pay for their tattoos and high speed internet service and rims for their cars and drug habit, there just isn't enough money left over. No one should be forced to resort to stealing! Give them more Obama!!! We need to start paying … more ›
