COLLEGE PLACE, Wash. - Steal a pickup truck in Oregon. Check. Drive it across the border into Washington. Check. Park it across the street from the police department. Oops.

College Place, Wash., Police Chief Dennis Lepiane says police got word Thursday that a pickup stolen in Umatilla (yoo-muh-TIHL'-ah) County, Ore., might be headed for Washington.

It was only about half an hour later when one of his officers saw a vehicle matching the description. It was parked across the street from City Hall, home of the Police Department.

According to the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin, officers confirmed it was the right vehicle, then confronted an 18-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy. They fled through an apartment complex but were both arrested.

The woman was taken to jail and the younger teen was placed in juvenile detention.

About 5 years ago a guy I know had his truck stolen. It was in front of his house idling while he unloaded a bunch of groceries from Sam's. He was going to leave just as soon as he got the groceries put away.
When he got outside for the second load the truck was gone.
He called the police, they really reamed him for leaving the keys in it running. His insurance didn't want to pay, but finally did pay.
About 4 months later he got a call from the police, they had found his truck. It was parked 6 blocks away from his house at an apartment complex. Apparently it had been sitting there since the night it was stolen. It still had some of his groceries in it.
The really embarrassing thing was that the cop that investigated the theft, lived in the apartment complex. He passed by the truck everyday for 4 months and never wondered why it never moved from the parking space.
They found out it was stolen when the apartment owners had it towed. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Obviously the officer was doing his job. Cops get free rent in exchange for parking their patrol car in the lot when off duty and doing a little moonlighting call out security when needed. This complex was obviously so safe that no one dared to steal the abandoned car in all that time.

The free rent makes him beholden to the apartment owners and renters, not to the poor sap who had his car stolen and ditched in the apartment.
