Stolen Frontloader Stopped By Second Frontloader
How do you stop a stolen frontloader? Another frontloader, of course! A man in Georgia was arrested for stealing a 75,000-pound frontloader and taking it on a wild police chase before being stopped by another frontloader.
I feel like that’s one of Newton’s laws of physics. Stop force with force. Here’s more on the story.
Stolen Frontloader Stopped By Second Frontloader
According to FOX 35 Orlando, the man allegedly stole the massive frontloader from a waste management facility and was stopped by an employee of the facility who was able to track him down in another frontloader that they used to flip the suspect’s vehicle. Eddie Sanchez has been identified as the man who has been arrested and charged with criminal trespassing and reckless driving (along with a few other charges), per FOX 35 Orlando.
That’s not all! FOX 35 Orlando reports that Sanchez was a former employee of the facility where he stole the vehicle. That has to be one disgruntled employee to come back and steal something of that size. Officers tried to stop him in the frontloader but were unsuccessful. I have to imagine it would be very difficult to stop one of those. Not every police department is equipped with the resources to bring a vehicle of that size to a stop. Thankfully, other employees were ready to step up and stop him.
Can you imagine having to go out and stop one of your former co-workers from stealing stuff from your work? It’s probably that one person nobody liked and all the other employees were super pumped to hop in a frontloader to go stop that guy. These types of frontloaders can typically reach max speeds of 30mph. He only made it 5 miles from the facility with the stolen vehicle, per FOX 35 Orlando.
Nobody was injured during the chase. Sanchez is now facing numerous charges. Check out a video of the incident below!
5 of the Craziest Cringeworthy Crimes Ever Committed
While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn’t), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it’s the crime itself that’s wild, other times, it’s the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.
Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America’s Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I’m not sure if those shows are around…and I’m certain Spike TV isn’t around anymore. That’s a story for another time.

Craziest Crimes
Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren’t a matter of life or death. There’s no ethics quiz here, or any matters of ‘would you steal bread to support your family?’ These crimes, and criminals, aren’t straight up cringeworthy.
While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That’s why I’ve gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let’s be honest…what’s better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I’m going with the funny storytellers.
They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but…you get it. Let’s not delay! Here’s the list!
