Homeless Man Steals Corvette, Drives to Strip Club
The story involves a homeless man who came across a convertible Corvette in Chicago with the keys left in it. The unhoused chap decided to take it for a spin to the local strip club, according to a Patch Chicago report. Even crazier, the 39-year-old took the car from right in front of a police station.

If it had been me, (the guy that stole the Vette) I would have seen how many laps dances I could have traded it for!

The 1981 Corvette belonged to a 46-year-old Beecher man who left the car with the top down and keys in the ignition, police said. He was parked in front of the Chicago Heights Police Department Aug. 14, ABC-7 reports.
The car was so nice, Tarver told police, he wanted to buy it off the owner.

Why in the world would someone leave the keys in the car with the top down unless they WANTED someone to steal it?
