When you hear about a “double-steal” it’s usually two baseball players on 1st and 2nd who at the same time steal 2nd and 3rd …well here’s a completely different definition for that term.
Stick with me on this… here we go… a 36-year-old man in the Columbus, Ohio area named Brett Redd called the police last Monday and reported that his truck was stolen.
Weirdly, the truck was stolen by his PASSENGER while he was at a gas station. The cops located the truck and arrested the guy who took it.
But in the process of searching for the vehicle, they looked up the information on it, and they discovered that it was reported stolen . . . BEFORE the day they got the call.
As it turns out, just FIVE DAYS before Brett reported the stolen truck, HE stole the same truck from a landscaping company. (???)
Now, both men have been charged with receiving stolen property. As far as we know, the second thief was NOT connected to the landscaping company, so this isn't a case of someone stealing their own property back.
