Well, they say if you're going to steal, steal big. Maybe that's what was going through this guy's mind. Then again, maybe not. I'll let you be the judge.
Cops: Man stole $80,000 excavator, used it on rampage
ALBANY - A man has been charged with grand larceny and resisting arrest for allegedly stealing an $80,000 excavator and driving it across a resident's lawn before scuffling with officers,
Police said 35-year-old Michael Roney climbed onto the machine Wednesday morning near Manning Boulevard and drove it a short distance before motoring over the grass at 14 Manning Blvd. The homeowner called police, and officers Larry Heid and Jason Seward arrived moments later.
To his credit, he quickly figured out that he wasn't going to outrun cop cars with an excavator. After he ditched his "ride," he took off on foot. Of course the foot chase thing didn't work out too well, either.
But why an excavator? Were there no bulldozers? No cranes? And what do you do with a stolen excavator? Take it to a chop shop that specializes in construction equipment? Are there fences that deal in stolen excavators? Enquiring minds want to know©.
