Related: About this forumFlorida man, tired of walking, steals forklift -- again
Police in Florida said a man arrested for stealing a forklift was arrested for a near-identical crime in April 2016. Photo by terimakasih0/Pixabay.com
July 3 (UPI) -- Police in Florida said a man caught driving a stolen forklift told officers he was tired of walking -- and it wasn't the first time.
Port Orange Police said an officer approached Bradley Barefoot, 43, who was appropriately barefoot at the time, after spotting him with the stolen forklift.
"There was a male parked in a handicap spot with a piece of heavy equipment that had a mattress on it. The male was barefoot, talking to himself while swearing and throwing his hands up," WKMG-TV quoted the Port Orange Police report as saying.
Barefoot initially told the officer he took the forklift because he thought it was the same one that has been stolen from his boss in Alabama, but he later said he took the $38,000 vehicle because he was tired of walking and he noticed the keys had been left in the ignition.

However I think we'll be seeing Barefoot in prison just the same.
Undoubtedly he will be well shod. After all, wouldn't want to spread athlete's foot.
