BOSTON -- North Attleboro police said they arrested and charged a man with car theft after he allegedly stole cars from two dealerships, then realized he'd left his wallet at one of them and went back to retrieve it.
Police said Damion H. Hines, 26, stole two cars from two different Nissan dealerships, then abandoned one of the cars and crashed the other, according to the Attleboro Sun Chronicle.
A prosecutor said Hines stole a 2007 Nissan Altima from Nissan Village Friday night after taking a test drive with a salesman who left him alone with the vehicle to retrieve paperwork. When he took off, however, he unknowingly dropped his wallet in the parking lot, the prosecutor said.
When Hines realized he had lost the wallet, he allegedly called the dealer and offered to return the car in exchange for his wallet if they would not call police.
Officers were at the scene when Hines showed up and he fled down Route 1, they said, eventually crashing the car in the woods off Interstate 295 and running into the Pride Ford dealership nearby. He was arrested there and taken into custody.
