The Getaway

Time for another bungling thief story...this one took place in England at a parking lot or as they're called there a car park. The 25 year old father of four (sad that he had kids,and that seems to be a lot of kids for his age) owed money to a drug dealer and decided to steal a parking meter to solve his financial woes. The first mistake was the man and his accomplice didn't realize they were being filmed. The next error was using his car as a battering ram to knock the meter over and thirdly once the meter was loaded into the car the weight of the coins caused the car to make sparks because it was scraping the road. With police in pursuit he lost control at 55 mph and crashed into a wall. The recovered meter had around $1,624 in it,the damage caused at the car park was around $8,121 and I am guessing the car was totaled...and of course he went to jail. The moral of the story is stay away from drugs,they make you REALLY stupid!
Wesley Bristow managed to force the parking meter to the ground without realising it was tethered by a cable
Wesley Bristow was jailed for two years by Wolverhampton Crown Court and received a further driving ban of two years
