This one is a real joke. They stole a car to go to a counseling session that addresses the crime of stealing cars! LOL!
The four suspects, aged 16 and 17, were attending the counselling program in the Canadian prairie city as part of a court order relating to previous auto thefts, said Detective Sergeant Kevin Kavitch of the city's stolen-autos unit.
A local newspaper suggested the teens had stolen the car because it was "too cold to walk" to their court ordered training program, although Kavitch described it as a crime of opportunity. Winnipeg daytime temperatures dipped to -40 degrees Celsius last week, with wind chill.
I am laughing while reading this. LOL!

Apart from being funny, this is also very sad. I mean these guys are going through a program which could help them learn from their mistakes which unfortunately don't seem to be happening. I wonder what the program authorities would do now!!

Yup, That could be a possibilty. Let's hope and pray that someone is there to help these poor guys out in their already messed up lives.

Well I guess these guys haven't learned much from the counselling sessions. The punishment might want to be thought about more in depth. And then they should be popped upside the head and drink a glass of V8 juice! They are just not smart!lol Thanks for the good laugh.
