Driven to succeed

When you find yourself in a stick situation, it's usually a good idea to use the resources you have at hand to get out of it. This time, not so much:

A woman suspected in a burglary found a convenient getaway: the squad car of the officers who arrested her.

McKenzie Schafer, 27, of Minneapolis, was arrested and handuffed Sunday by officers investigating the theft of a laptop from the North St. Paul Athletic Association building. Court papers saidwhen officers went back into the building after putting Schafer in the back of their squad, she got into the front and drove away.

She was later caught in front of a sandwich shop by officers in another squad car. Schafer told police she took the squad to help look for the men who burglarized the building.

Shockingly, they didn't give this good Samaritan a commendation for helping with their investigation. They didn't even release her from custody. Some gratitude, huh?
