Police blotter

Lowering the Bar - Police say a California man promptly decided to return a van he had just stolen after noticing that it had a dead body inside. Since he had stolen the van from a mortuary, it’s a little surprising he didn’t check to see if the van was occupied before he drove it away, but he has now learned that lesson. We know this because he then stole a second van from the same mortuary, and that one was corpse-free.
