THIEF FINGERED BY FINGER

Joshua Allen Goverman, 29, is a thief. But Josh is not just any thief … he's a candidate for the Unluckiest Thief of the Year Award. He has been arrested by the Glendale, Arizona police and charged with suspicion of theft because, like many criminals, he left something behind at the scene of the crime.

On October 7, an air conditioning company employee discovered that someone had tried to steal copper wire from his truck. The victim also discovered a personal item the thief accidentally dropped in the truck.

Now, Josh did not lose his wallet or leave his driver's license at the scene. The hapless thief severed a finger while he was plying his trade. The Glendale cops retrieved the finger and used the severed digit to identify the unlucky thief and put him in the slammer.

When they catch him he will probably sue for a work-place injury.
