Yahoo! News - Would-Be Thief Takes Car to Police Garage Wed Mar 12,11:37 AM ET
OSLO, Norway - A car thief who apparently had second thoughts about his crime returned a stolen vehicle to a police garage.
"The simple explanation is that the man wanted to give back the car he had stolen," police inspector Jan Ruderaas told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The would-be thief, who wasn't identified in line with Norwegian privacy laws, filled up his stolen car with gasoline from a service station in Trondheim, 310 miles north of the capital, Oslo, but drove off without paying Tuesday night.
Police saw him and tailed him through traffic, but were surprised to see him drive into their garage.
"We encourage all other criminals to follow his example," Ruderaas said. "But they don't have to fill up the tank first, especially if they're not paying."
He said police haven't decided if the 37-year-old man will be charged.
