steak and gin just proves too tempting...

I, like most people, enjoy hearing stories about stupid criminals. I think it makes us feel safer. I found this guy on msnbc.com this morning, and there's not much conclusion to draw from the article...except that this place must have had some really good steak. :)

(read the article or read on for a shortened version)

This guy in Indiana would go to the same restaurant on the same night of each week, order the same food and drink, and escape without paying the same way every time.

He would go to O'Charley's in Bloomington on Wednesday nights and order a ribeye steak and two gin-and-tonics. Then as soon as the bill came, he would conveniently excuse himself to the restroom and escape home.

Fortnately, on his fifth excursion, O'Charley's was ready and had police tackle him as he made one final getaway attempt.
