He needed two things to get home that day: first, a driver; in second place, a car.
The first thing wasn’t a problem: he could drive himself home without any problem.
The second thing was going to be a bit trickier. Oddly enough, he had left his car home when he decided to take a cab to work that morning.
But that minor drawback wasn’t going to stop him: he would just beat the $h*t out of anyone and take his “wheels”. Weird decision, considering he was a four-and-a-half feet tall skinny little guy.
Even weirder was his choice for a victim: a huge trucker that just happened to be unloading his cargo on the other side of the road.
He got there and drove off in the truck, leaving behind the trucker, all swollen and bleeding after the fight.
By the time the police arrived, he had already cruised at top speed half of the way home, skillfully maneuvering the truck like if it was a bike.
When he arrived home, he noticed that there just wasn’t any space left in the driveway, so he thought “what the hell?” and drove straight through the living room wall.
He had just climbed down the truck and changed into his pajamas when the cops found the stolen truck embedded in his wall. When asked, he made up a story about some guy who just ran away after demolishing his home.
At first, the officers felt something wrong, given the discrepancies between the criminal’s descriptions given by both the trucker and the “poor homeowner”, but such differences were not unusual in witnesses’ statements, so they took notes and left.
He was the luckiest SOB in the world: the embarrassed trucker preferred to lie about his attacker, giving the police a funny description rather than confess that a little skinny guy like himself was responsible of his wounds.
So, like usually happens with seemingly defenseless guys, he got away with crime: The insurance company paid for his home repairs, for all the things crushed by the truck and for a few things he made up for the claim.
On the other hand, the trucker got fired – unfairly, we might add – for letting someone steal the truck, and still, revenge hasn’t even crossed his mind.
And as usual, the police are still “looking” for the criminal (which means they filled the report and went on with their lives).
