Police in Victoria, Australia pulled off one of their easiest arrests ever after a would-be car thief locked himself inside the very vehicle he was trying to steal. It is yet another example suggesting that many car thieves turn to crime precisely because better options elude them.

The self-inflicted blunder handed officers a suspect trapped and waiting. The comical mishap reinforced the notion that intelligence is rarely a hallmark of impulsive vehicle theft, sparing police any real effort in making the capture.
