Look, An Unattended Limo!

Man, I love stories like this. The three W’s of ridiculous news stories arise: Why? Who would do such a thing? What were they thinking?

From the Associated Press:

ERIE, Pa. — Police in Erie were searching for a car thief who slipped into a limousine and drove away while mourners were inside a church during a funeral.

The limousine was idling outside of the St. Mary Catholic Church yesterday when someone stole it, police said.

The vehicle was found wrecked not far from the church.

Funeral directors were able to secure a sedan to take the family to the burial.

It was the first time anyone has heard of a limousine being stolen during a funeral, directors in the region said.
