CAPE CORAL, Fla. (AP) - Authorities are looking for a shoplifter
who was run over twice by her getaway car after stealing $1,200
worth of designer purses from a Cape Coral store.
A T.J. Maxx security guard told police she saw a woman stuff six
designer Dooney & Bourke purses into her pants Tuesday morning and
walk out of the store. The guard says she was confronting the woman
when a car pulled up.
A report says the shoplifter tried to get into the vehicle but
fell out and was run over by the car. She then got up and jumped
onto the hood of the car. As the car was driving away, the report
says the woman fell off and was run over again. On her third
attempt, she finally made it into the vehicle.
Police are using the car's license plate and a check the woman
dropped to track her down.

I hope she makes enough off those purses to pay for medical bills.  Ooops, forgot that taxpayers are probably going to pay for that bill.

Sounds like, if she didn’t have bad luck, she wouldn’t have any luck at all!
