A Canadian man’s apparent fondness for the video game “Grand Theft Auto” has led to his arrest in connection with an auto theft, police said on Wednesday.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Shylo Kujawski — who has “Grand Theft Auto” prominently tattooed on his back — was spotted acting suspiciously in a Vancouver suburb where several stolen cars had been reported.
Using the tattoo to identify Kujawski as a convicted auto thief, police said they then set up a stakeout that nabbed him attempting drive away in a stolen car.
Police said during the stakeout they also watched Kujawski thwart his own attempt to drive away in another stolen vehicle by accidentally disabling the car with the owner’s steering wheel lock.
Kujawski, of no fixed address, has been charged with possession of stolen property in connection with an auto theft, as well as breach of probation and driving while suspended.
As I said as recently as yesterday, people don’t become career criminals because they’re bright!
I agree! He couldn’t have made it easier for police to catch him, lol!
What was he doing, wandering around the parking lot shirtless while he looked for a car to steal?
Yeah, that’s funny. Here’s a computer thief:

It is a good thing that most criminals are dummer than cops.
a**hole. Gets what he deserves.
#5 – Of course he gets what he deserves… but he’s an asshole for stealing cars… Not for having a tattoo…
And as great a series as the GTA games are, I gotta say anyone who tattoos the name of their fave video game on thier back is not shuffling a full deck.
Actually, these stories always make me want to get into crime. I mean, if it’s just stupidity that gets these guys caught, then shouldn’t a really smart guy (or ensemble) be able to clean up in the crime biz? 🙂
I wouldn’t be surprised if he has plans of getting Duke Nukem Forever tattooed on his forehead…
#7 I wouldn’t be surprised if he has plans of getting Duke Nukem Forever tattooed on his forehead…

I heard that is getting ready to be released this year. Do you think I should hold my breath until it arrives in stores?

He, he… I don’t think you want to do that… 😉 I went to their site the other day to read about their progress… Well, they’ve removed the old videos and screenshots since they don’t represent the current look and feel of the game… I guess it’s going to be forever in development… they must be running out of cash one day…

Damn! I took up the wrong career

Time to come clean. We know it’s you Popeye.
His next tatoo will be across his butt, saying….*Bubbas Bitch*…or whatever the equivelent name for Bubba is in Canada.
