How unlucky can you get in a day? This thief must have had the most unlucky day of his life.
1. Ernesto Ponce took a pickup from a Chevrolet lot in Roseburg on Friday, but had to switch vehicles when a tire blew.
2. Ponce, 19, then allegedly took a Subaru Legacy from a driveway on Lookingglass Road. He had that car for about 15 minutes before the engine overheated, causing it to catch fire at an intersection in Winston.
3. Jeff Herbert, of Cottage Grove, spotted the blaze and pulled over to help. As Herbert rushed over with a fire extinguisher, the suspect stole his Dodge pickup. But the suspect didn't get very far. Spike strips placed by investigating officers punctured two tires, and the pickup slid into a ditch.
What do you think of that?

Sometimes God makes such thieves to survive for a purpose, so that they make a hindsight and learn something,those who fail to learn anything may not be so lucky
