ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -- Released from prison, Ronald A. Mahner's first mistake was driving back to get his stuff.

Mahner returned to the Seminole County Jail to reclaim his personal property four days after being released. He had served a sentence for drunken driving, auto theft and habitually driving with a suspended or revoked license.

But when asked to provide identification, Mahner handed a sheriff's deputy his license, which after routine computer check was found to have been revoked for life.

Deputy Teri Cresswell couldn't prove Mahner was doing anything illegal without seeing him behind the wheel, so she told him to drive to the back parking lot.

Mahner took the car around back, parked in a fire lane and went inside to claim his clothing, shampoo, dart board and battery charger.

Ann Mallory, a manager in the Forensic Services Section, called in a computer check of the car's tag and found it had been reported stolen the same day Mahner was released from jail.

Mahner was handcuffed and arrested Monday, just as he was about to drive away.

Talk about stupid, take the bus or get a ride from someone else. Handing a revoked-for-life license to a cop... he's not even trying.

I often wonder if all the rest of the world is this stupid. It seems every once in a while I get confirmation that the human race is doomed.

I'd say probably about 60% of americans are that stupid. I don't know about internationally.

Well, "I'd say" is a qualifier and frankly he's probably about right, or as George Carlin put it; "Think about how stupid the average person is, then realise half of them are dumber than that."

This particular guy is well below the average though =p I'd suspect he'd score below 50 on any IQ test.

on second glance...

is manhole an insult?

I'd say 60% is a pretty good estimate, might even go so far as to push it to 75.

Shop at a supermarket some day Mort, it will be proven outright

Better yet, work at a supermarket or major theme park, and realise that 90% of americans are about there (I.E. the example in the first post).

Thief leaves photo of self in stolen car

* Police hope an impromptu moment captured on film will help land a suspected car thief in the pokey.

Tucson police Friday released a snapshot they said appears to have been taken by car thieves who left the camera behind when they ditched the car.

The photo shows a young man mugging for the camera from behind the wheel of the stolen car and making what police say are gang-related hand gestures.

The 2003 Chrysler Sebring was stolen from the 900 block of West Irvington Road early in September. Police found it about two weeks later, said Sgt. Judy Altieri, a Police Department spokeswoman.

The car owner recently developed the camera's film and notified police of the snapshot investigators hope will break the case.

Anyone with information about the identity of the person in the photo should call 911 or 88-CRIME, the anonymous tip line of the Pima County Attorney's Office

That's just great. I love it, I really do. I know why Honda's are stolen, but that schmuck took a Sebring? And then pic'd himself in it? Hah, if there isn't someone more deserving of a manmeat sandwich

More Asshattery from Florida, or rather bad luck

NAPLES, Florida (AP) -- A suspect in jewelry heist got caught after he tried to get away -- in the sheriff's car.

The two men dressed in black jumped into a car they apparently thought was a getaway car, only to bolt again when they noticed the driver wore a badge.
