Would-Be Car Burglar Locks Self in Trunk
Would-Be Car Burglar Locks Self in Trunk - Yahoo! News: FRESNO, Calif. - A man attempting to burglarize a car over the weekend locked himself in the trunk and was swiftly arrested, police said.
A security guard at an apartment complex in southeast Fresno followed a trail of blood to a banging noise coming from the trunk in the early morning hours Sunday.
Police said he cut himself on the door of another car he'd broken into, then trickled blood across the parking lot to the car he eventually locked himself inside.
'He popped the trunk from the inside and crawled back there, ransacking every inch,' Hernandez said. 'But then he grabs the trunk to heave himself out and closes it on top of him. He's got to be the dumbest criminal of the day.' ¶ 12:33 PM
