This is one of those crime stories that tends to provoke laughter:
RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass said Monday that Morgan allegedly jumped into the idling Corvette just as the owner was putting away a charger used to revive the sports car’s dead battery.
The owner watched in disbelief as the suspect rolled up the power windows, locked the power doors and promptly stalled the vehicle.
“Unfortunately for the (suspect), he was not good with a standard transmission and stalled the Corvette when he attempted to reverse out of the driveway,” Douglass said.

As police arrived, Morgan was attempting to exit the vehicle after allegedly smashing the driver side window with his screw driver — apparently for no good reason.
“As it turns out, all the suspect would have had to do was manually slide the door lock to the side and the door would have opened,” Douglass said.
