(9/23/05 - PENSACOLA, FL) - Two men found themselves in handcuffs after police said they stole a gas station employee's car -- and then returned an hour later to get a fill-up.
Employee Pam Pease, 49, was sweeping the parking area when she noticed a familiar car pull up to pump No. 7.
It was her blue 1994 Ford Escort with a missing hubcap. She had reported it stolen less than an hour earlier.
"It just blew my mind, but there they were," Pease said. "I'm glad it was low on gas."
Artemio Castillo, 49, and Ernesto Garcia, 41, were arrested Tuesday night.
Police said both men first went to the gas station asking for a ride to Mississippi. When they returned in the car, another attendant offered the men water while other employees called 911.
"That's a new one," Sgt. Ted Roy, Sheriff's Office spokesman, said Wednesday."Crimes like that are good for our job security."
