Really? I am amazed by the level of stupidity that abounds. First he steals a car, then tries to buy crack on credit, then to top it off gets robbed at gun point. I guess the dealers credit card machine was down.

Quote from the article:

FLINT, Mich. - Authorities said a man accused of stealing a car then reporting it stolen remains in custody after telling police he was robbed at gunpoint while trying to buy crack cocaine with a credit card. The Flint Journal said the man reported Thursday night that a 2003 Chevy Malibu had been stolen. Police reports indicated the vehicle was previously stolen out of Lapeer, about 50 miles north-northwest of Detroit. The suspect is being lodged at the Genesee County Jail. No further details were released.
