You Thought Your Day Sucked?

I doubt your day was as bad as this Bend contractor's:

A Bend-area construction worker learned a painful lesson the hard way Monday morning: When you stop off on the way to work for the morning cup of brew, don't leave your keys in the rig ? especially if there's a trailer and Bobcat on the back. They just might not be there when you return.

One suspect in the pickup and trailer theft was arrested a short time later, but the other fled police in the stolen pickup ? from which the trailer hauling the construction equipment already had been unhooked ? and eventually lost the officers on gravel roads east of town.

Moral of the story? Don't leave your keys in your car, even for a minute.
