A thief stole a taxi at knife point in Brookings, Oregon recently, and then tried to escape when a police officer attempted to pull him over in the stolen vehicle. He ignored signs of a road closed due to a landslide, but quickly found out that the signs were no joke as his car collided with the mud, rock and debris from the landslide blocking the road. He was taken into custody without further incident. [Source: KOMO News. Image: komonews.com]
