WHAT TO DO when you’re naked? Steal a police car, of course.

According to Sunshine Coast Daily, police in Maroochydore, Australia were responding to a car crash when a naked young man hopped into a vacant cop car and drove away before police could stop him.

The 26-year-old man was later caught, arrested, and the car was found about a kilometre nearby.

The naked joy rider was charged with two counts of willfull exposure, unlawful use and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, obstructing police and being adversely affect by an intoxicating substance.
