All Gas Stations Look Alike

One of the funniest dumb criminal stories in a long time...

After cleaning out the till, the robber and a passenger took off in a red Honda, and cops from four towns and sheriff's deputies gave chase.

The caravan zoomed at speeds up to 100 mph through the winding roads of western Puget Sound, where twists and turns can leave even locals disoriented.

After a while, the fugitives managed to lose their pursuers in the darkness, but they had no idea where they were.

So the stickup man pulled into a Chevron station to ask for the way to Seattle, unaware that it was the very same establishment he'd just robbed.
