Off Topic: Grand Theft Auto Fan Charged With Car Theft
A Canadian man's
apparent fondness for the video game "Grand Theft Auto" has led
to his arrest in connection with an auto theft, police said on
Wednesday.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Shylo Kujawski --
who has "Grand Theft Auto" prominently tattooed on his back --
was spotted acting suspiciously in a Vancouver suburb where
several stolen cars had been reported.
Using the tattoo to identify Kujawski as a convicted auto
thief, police said they then set up a stakeout that nabbed him
attempting drive away in a stolen car.
Police said during the stakeout they also watched Kujawski
thwart his own attempt to drive away in another stolen vehicle
by accidentally disabling the car with the owner's steering
wheel lock.
Kujawski, of no fixed address, has been charged with
possession of stolen property in connection with an auto theft,
as well as breach of probation and driving while suspended.
