A Crazy Naked Canadian Steals Semi-Truck

Every once in a while you find a story that leaves you speechless or laughing hysterically....

From the Times Colonist --

A crazed, naked man stole a large transport truck truck and led police on a half-hour chase through rush-hour traffic after allegedly threatening to blow up a bridge.

Just before 6:30 this morning a nude man appeared at a Pitt Meadows farm, where he stole coveralls and a white 15-ton truck.

Police also backed off when the guy threatened to blow up a bridge. After leading police on a half hour chase, the naked nut job crashed the truck and took off running - naked down the highway.

While he was streaking down the highway an unmarked police SUV hit him and put an end to his naked spree. It was not noted if the vehicle was a "Jimmy," but witnesses report seeing a "Jimmy." The nut job and his "gear shifter" were unhurt.

Const. Boobineau said that the officer will be investigated to determine if the officer hit the suspect on accident or if it was intentional.

Hopefully the officer will be found not at fault... after all the suspect did have his gun out!
