Man hides stolen chainsaw in shorts, getaway not the quickest
A man hid a stolen chainsaw down the front of his shorts before making a frustratingly slow escape from a DIY store in Oklahoma.
Remember: A chainsaw in the trouser area could be dangerous
It�s likely that some people reading this will be prompted to make a few cutting remarks about the attempted theft.
The chain of events began when employees at a store in Chickasha noticed a customer with an unusual walk. At first, they thought he was handicapped, but then they saw what was going on.
One worker said: �It was pretty obvious. Imagine it in the front of your pants.�
We can imagine.
The thief quickly realised that he was in no position to make a speedy getaway, so he ran out, ditched the chainsaw, and climbed up a tree.
Perhaps it was a tree he�d been planning to prune with the chainsaw.
Anyway, the 21-year-old suspect jumped out of the tree and ended up in a creek, where police arrested him. They suspected that he was drunk.
