Car-napper Caught Napping

(Story from June 1, 2012)


A suspected Post Falls, Idaho car burglar appears to have fallen asleep on the job.

Police say 33-year-old Jason D. Hill was arrested early Thursday morning after he was caught napping inside one of the vehicles he was trying to steal outside a Post Falls apartment complex.

It was reported that Hill intended to hotwire the care but his plan fell through around 4 A.M when he was found outside of the car by the owner, who called the police.

Police say he appears to have been removing the car's stereo when he nodded off.

Authorities say the vehicle Hill drove to the scene was stolen. He is suspected of breaking into four vehicles parked at the apartment complex.

UVa student saved by napping

University of Virginia student, Chris Lemos, was napping on his couch after a workout when a .45-caliber bullet broke through his window, flew across his desk chair and went through his bedroom wall, before bouncing off a bed in an unoccupied room and landing on the floor of his apartment.

"The craziest thing about it was that honest to God I was planning to do my homework at my desk,” Lemos said. The officer who responded to the call said that he was lucky to be alive.

So if you're ever looking for a good reason to nap, remember this: napping saves lives!
