NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: He’s Crazy For Taking The Bus
Jacob Rehm, 38, a former bus driver for Lamoille Valley Transportation, stole a bus from the company's depot and went on a three-state joy ride with his Natalie Page, 38, and posted their excellent adventure on YouTube, reports The Associated Press:
[H]e headed south toward Allentown, Pa., but turned around somewhere in Connecticut after he realized the $200 worth of diesel he had bought wouldn't get them to Pennsylvania and back. Police caught up with him in the northern Vermont town of St. Johnsbury after the company's owners were told he had been seen driving through a schoolyard waving at children.
The $583,000 vehicle, which was normally used for New England fall foliage tours and national park tours, wasn't damaged.
Rehm has been charged with theft of services, operating a vehicle without owner consent and trespassing, and faces as much as 15 years in prison if convicted on all three charges. Perhaps prompted by a prosecutor’s observation on Rehm’s escapade ("It's not every day that someone documents their crime and posts it on YouTube") a judge ordered a competency evaluation for the defendant.
