Dumb thieves

This should make the Darwin Awards list.

WICHITA, Kansas – Two men attempting to steal rocks near the Keeper of the Plains statue overloaded their vehicle and it rolled into the river.

Early Wednesday morning, police say two men began stealing some of the landscaping rocks near the statue.

“They loaded the rocks into the back of this Ford Explorer,” said Gordon Bassham, Wichita Police Department spokesperson. “It became too heavy to move and, ultimately, rolled backwards into the river.”
