Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Tim Stewart who sent in this report from the International File. From Rotherham, England comes the story of bozo Barry Smith who held up a jewelry store, parking his getaway car in the front of the store in plain view. It was bad enough that everyone inside the store saw the bozo hop in the car for his getaway, but it was the car itself that really got him in trouble. Our bozo’s getaway vehicle was a Volkswagen Beetle painted to look like a ladybug, complete with red and black spots. One of the investigating officers recalled seeing a car fitting that description around town. Sure enough, when the cops cruised by the bozo’s house, there it was sitting right out front. Our bozo answered the door and was promptly arrested.
