My favorite news story of the day. This guy is quite the entrepreneur. It would have been complete if they said he tried to post bail with a forged check: (Petaluma ) Man arrested for stealing, selling Caterpillar excavator Petaluma police arrested a 19-year-old Sonoma County resident Tuesday on suspicion of offenses including stealing and selling a Caterpillar excavator estimated to be worth $40,000 in October, police have announced. Police arrested Tre Miller on suspicion of two counts of vehicle theft, two counts of grand theft, three counts of burglary, two counts of forgery and one count of identity theft. Detectives from the departments investigations unit and officers from the Sonoma County Auto Theft Task Force started investigating the excavator theft from a job site on the corner of East Washington and Payran streets sometime on a weekend in late October. Investigators determined Miller allegedly sold the excavator under false pretenses to an unwitting buyer in Sonoma County. In two subsequent months of investigations, police allege Miller stole checks from homes as he worked for a moving company, used stolen credit cards to buy property and used forged checks and false pretenses to buy or attempt to buy vehicles from dealerships in five California counties, including three in the Bay Area. Police arrested Miller without incident and booked him into Sonoma County Jail. His bail is $90,000.
