Only in the Keys

I think that is a great way to highlight that the Conch Train should be stolen at least a couple times a year.

And, maybe somebody should do it and drive it off the mole into the Gulf of America to really make some headlines. Full of tourists for sure!
 
Almost perfect. He should have driven it off the mole into the Gulf to make it perfect though...
 
KEY WEST, Fla. — Police arrested a Key West woman on three felony charges Friday night after they said she made armed threats over a “stolen” phone that was never actually stolen at all.

According to an arrest report from the Key West Police Department, officers were sent to the 1300 block of Ashby Street at around 10:10 p.m. regarding “a female in a white Ford Explorer who pulled up to (a man) armed with a revolver claiming someone had stolen her phone.”

Police said they responded and found Gail Marie Stephenson, 57, standing near her SUV. According to the report, she said she had been drinking that night at the American Legion hall “and gave a younger gentleman that she didn’t know a ride home.”

That man stole her phone, she said, adamant that it was no longer in her vehicle, the report states. But when she opened her door, it was lying in plain sight on her driver’s side floorboard, police said. Police said they also found a revolver case inside; she claimed “her husband must have (the gun) with him in Georgia” and “became emphatic” that she wasn’t armed.

Stephenson, who “smelled strongly” of alcohol, “admitted to having several drinks” that night, police said.

While talking to her, police said they kept getting calls “that a woman fitting Stephenson’s description had a revolver and was banging on people’s home(s) and threatening those residences, stating she had been robbed.”
