Meet 19 year old Albert Luna.  That's him below....





Albert Luna(tic) was arrested in Coachella, California one (1) day after the police had responded to a carjacking call involving a FedEx delivery truck.





But this wasn't just any carjacking, this one was special.  In fact it was special for two (2) reasons:  1)  Because Albert was buck naked when he tried to steal the vehicle and 2) Because Albert was forced to flee on foot as he could not figure out how to operate the truck.  

The FedEx driver had reportedly pulled over to drop off a package in a residential Coachella neighborhood and had gone to the back of the truck to retrieve it.  While he was out of the driver's seat, Albert, who, inexplicably, was not wearing any clothes, entered the truck and demanded the keys.  The stunned delivery driver handed over the keys and ran to a nearby house where he called police.  Albert reportedly attempted to start the delivery truck but did not know how to operate the vehicle so he abandoned the truck and fled the area on foot.  He was caught the following day.





Memo to the Folks:  Inexplicable.  That is the theme of this article.  I fact checked the story and found it in several credible publications so I believe it to be true, but the "why" of it, any of it, escapes me.  Still, there is always something to be learned and I guess what we can take from this is that one should never try to steal a vehicle that one is not prepared to drive (that and the definition of "inexplicable"...).

Meet 35 year old Heidi Lynn Smith of Port Charlotte, Florida.  That's her (s)mug shot below...



I'm not sure why Heidi is smiling in that pic as she had just been arrested for robbing a Subway restaurant in Punta Gorda.

Memo to the Folks:  Always assume you are being watched and recorded.  Also, never use your own car, with the license plate which is registered to you, as your get-away car, 





Memo to Heidi Lynn Smith (and the Folks):  Yes, it is nice to smile for the camera, but not in your booking photo.  Also, and just FYI, needing money for your dying kid is not an affirmative defense to robbery.  Just saying...

Meet 52 y/o Steven Rostovsky, a married, father of three (3) kids Beverly Hills watch retailer.  That's him below...





While in Manhattan on an, er, business trip, Steve found himself partying with two (2), er, women, at the Sapphire Gentlemen's Club.





Steve took his business, and the two (2) women (one caucasian and the other one African-American), back to his suite at Manhattan's snazzy Baccarat Hotel.





Thinking that he was smarter than he apparently is, when he got upstairs to his room Steve, who was carrying more than $6,000.00 in cash (AFTER leaving Sapphire... who know's what kinda coin he dropped in the, er, Gentlemen's Club) put his cash and his $590,000.00 Double Tourbillon 30 Technique watch (it is believed that the watch was a limited edition model cast in rose gold and that only 22 of them were ever made) into the suite's complimentary safe... which he then apparently failed to secure.





And so it was that Steve would enter the bedroom with one of the women while the other one snagged the limited-edition watch and the cash from the safe.  And once Steve had finished with one of the ladies in the bedroom he would report that the white call girl told him that she was going to walk her companion downstairs, and in the meantime they both left the hotel in a BMW convertible.  The NYPD has images of the women from surveillance video and are attempting to use DNA they left on drinking glasses from the room to identify the suspected thieves.





After the fact Steve would go on record saying that  he was so drunk that he couldn't even recall meeting the women.  Steve would tell the New York Post that:  "The truth is, I was drunk. I don't remember...  [The incident] 'was blown out of ­proportion.'  I mean, I'm on the front page of the New York Post... You spoke to my wife. You put it on the front page. I don't know what to say to you."

The strip club's attorney reported that neither of the women worked there and that they had entered the club with Steve.  In the interim Steve's wife, Janine, originally told the Post that only her husband's driver's license had been stolen, but then she reportedly "made herself scarce and was nowhere to be seen at their $2.8 million Bel Air home".

Memo to to Steven Rostovsky:  Be careful.  Be very, very careful...
