(Arlington, Va.) - Attempting to steal license plates off a car with someone sitting inside it is pretty stupid, but trying to steal the plates off a police car with the officer sitting inside borders on the moronic. Arlington Police say that's precisely what DC resident Fernando Arraya was arrested for late Tuesday night.

Two plain-clothes officers had parked their unmarked vehicles in a lot and were talking through their open windows when another car pulled into the lot and parked right next to one of the police cars. The driver then got out, took a quick look around, then walked to the front of one of the police cars and began unscrewing the plate.

Arlington Police say Arraya was quickly arrested.




WTF!
