OldSchoolWrestling Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Not sure if this has been posted, but I found it pretty funny. Chilling crime: Streakers in restaurant watch as their car stolen The Associated Press SPOKANE — Three men streaking through the warmth of a Denny's restaurant were chilled and chagrined when they spotted a thief driving away in their getaway car, their clothing inside. Naked in the 20-degree weather, the three young men huddled behind cars in an adjacent parking lot until police arrived. "I don't think they were hiding. I think they were just concealing themselves," police spokesman Dick Cottam said. The trio, wearing only shoes and hats, entered the restaurant in north Spokane at about 5 a.m. Wednesday. They left their car running outside so they could make a quick exit. But a man eating inside the restaurant saw the running vehicle and stole it, along with the streakers' clothes, Cottam said. The streakers watched through the windows as their car drove away, Cottam said. They ran outside but could not catch it. Cottam did not name the victim of the car theft, but said he was 21. He did not have the names or ages of the other two streakers, who were not arrested. "I think it was just three kids who decided to fool around," Cottam said. "We always tell people to not leave their car running," he added. Restaurant manager Ryan Swennumson called the incident "funny," but declined further comment.

kkktookmybabyaway Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 That's funny. What exactly do you do in a situation like that? "Uhhh, sooo, what's your soup of the day? And I would like a booth that doesn't stick..."
OldSchoolWrestling Posted January 16, 2004 Author Report Posted January 16, 2004 I read a different report of it that said they hid in the parking lot freezing their asses off until the cops came and found them cowering behind a car.
Matt Young Posted January 16, 2004 Report Posted January 16, 2004 Does anyone else find humor in the fact that in a situation involving apprehending streakers, the police officer quoted in the article was named Dick Cottam? (The dick part is self explanatory, but I'm assuming "Cottam=Caught 'em")
