You Know You're a Loser When...

Yes, it's OK to indulge yourself in a self-righteous smirk when you read this Newsday.com story about 3 men who ran out of gas while attempting to steal a piece of furniture from a Goodwill store. :-)

The Cookeville, TN Herald-Citizen offered these additional details:

It happened in the early morning hours of Sunday after the three allegedly loaded up a recliner chair on the back of a truck and were about to leave the parking lot on S. Jefferson Ave.

Someone saw them and called police.

Cookeville Police Officer Josh Ward responded and said he found the truck stalled there in the parking lot.

"It was occupied by Randall Earl Fulton, Michael Earl Wiggins, and Craig Dean Curry," Officer Ward's report says. "I spoke with Mr. Fulton, who stated that he picked up the recliner from someone on 9th St., but did not know the name or address."

Officer Chase Mathis arrived, and he spoke to Curry, who allegedly "stated that all three of the occupants in the vehicle had taken the recliner from the drop-off point at Goodwill and had placed it into their vehicle, attempting to take the recliner without paying for it," the report says.
