Do you ever have days that just spiral down, and nothing goes right? Well, it happens to criminals too . . .
A 36-year-old guy in Canada named Gaetan Henry got his truck stuck on a bridge in the middle of nowhere last week. So he decided to steal a piece of construction equipment to get it out.
He took a skidder from a nearby logging company. They're like front-end loaders with a huge claw or plow on the front to move logs around.
But he didn't know what he was doing. So he lost control of the skidder . . . and accidentally crushed his OWN TRUCK by running it over.
He followed that up with another bad decision to report his truck STOLEN. And as soon as cops looked into it, they realized what happened.
He's facing charges for public mischief and theft of a motor vehicle worth over $5,000. He's due back in court in October.
