Two young larcenists in Florida--14 and 15 to be exact--appeared before Judge Larry Seidlin after stealing their twenty-fifth car in just two short years.

Three women dresses in costumes similar to the ones worn in the movie Scream entered a deli in February 2002 with intentions to rob the restaurant. Wielding BB pistols, a steel mallet, a hacksaw, and a pry bar, they hit one of the patrons over the head who then fell to the floor. Another customer saw his chance and grabbed the steel mallet from the woman who wielded it, and then clambered her over the head with it, knocking her back into her comrades. After this, the three fled from the establishment towards their car which was parked a mere 200 feet away. In the process of driving away, one of the attempted robbers got her foot run over before proceeding down the street. Since their entrance and departure had caused such a stir, many patrons had left the deli to observe what kind of car the thieves were driving and to get their license plate number. The robbers were found and arrested shortly afterwards.

After negotiating a 50 percent reduction, Santos called police, when the abductors showed up to collect payment.

The four men ran off quickly, whereupon the lady got into the car. Her key, however, would not fit. The woman realized that her car was the identical one parked a few spaces down.
