Apparently, this guy in New York City didn’t get the message:
Authorities said the 42-year-old man snatched a $2,000 gold chain from the Bronx jewelry store on Friday and was making his getaway. A store clerk and two bystanders were chasing the man on foot when he pedaled into an intersection and was hit by a fast-moving bus, police said.
The suspect was taken to a hospital, where he died from head injuries. Five passengers who were jostled when the bus slammed on its brakes were also examined at the hospital.
“He lost his life for $2,000,” said the store’s owner, Lakhwinder Singh. “He’d sell it for maybe only two or three hundred. That makes no sense.”
Remember how our parents taught us to look both ways when crossing the street? That should be the other lesson you take away from this story today.
