ALL FOR BUNS, AND BUNS FOR ALL...
I don't think this is perverted; it made me smile.
But, since the offender in this case committed his crimes wearing only briefs, I'm sticking it in this thread for lack of a better home.
David Bastar ^ hopped into the Grimaldi's Home of Bread truck on Manhattan's Upper East Side early Monday while the real driver was making a delivery at a pizzeria, according to police.
Reportedly clothed in just his briefs, Bastar then allegedly began dropping off baguettes, whole-wheat rolls and sourdough bread - but not to the bakery's customers, said Joe Grimaldi, the owner of the business in the Ridgewood neighborhood of Queens.
"The bread was left somewhere. Where I don't know," he said. "He dropped a lot of bread." Worth a lot of dough.
Grimaldi said about $5,000 in bread was taken. The bakery later was able to accommodate all its customers.
"It's a bizarre incident but nothing happened to the truck. No one was hurt. There was no damage. I got my truck back," said Grimaldi.
"He stole the truck and he made all the deliveries? That's awesome," a customer reportedly said.
Bastar, of Nanuet, was arrested later at LaGuardia Airport, where police say he wound up after tailgating a driver for several miles.
The driver became concerned about being followed and called police, said Erica Dumas, a spokeswoman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport.
Police then determined the truck had been stolen that morning. Bastar, who was taken to a hospital for evaluation, was charged with criminal possession of stolen goods and driving without a license.
Bastar's mother told reporters that she's not sure why he was on a mission and felt compelled to deliver bread to the citizens of New York.
Grimaldi said a shuttle bus driver who witnessed the arrest called the bakery and said, "If you need a driver, I'll work for you."
