How NOT to steal a beer

Police in Daytona Beach, Fla., arrested a man this week for stealing beer from a yacht club after the suspect was found passed out behind a nearby shrub. The man was clutching a beer cooler displaying the yacht club's logo.

According to a "Dumb Crime" story in the Daytona Beach News Journal,  police found the 27-year-old man  passed out across the street from Halifax River Yacht Club. Near him were several bottles of beer and a blue cooler with "Halifax River Yacht Club" written on it.

Police charged the man, who had no fixed address, with burglary.

Apparently, he was not a member of the yacht  club.

I have never stolen a beer, but I have "borrowed" some.

Once I "borrowed" beers from the family fridge, my dad immediately detected the loss. Dads always know how much beer is in their  fridge.

Beer thievery seems to be part of our culture.

Remember those clever Bud Light Super Bowl ads that showed a guy with a "secret beer fridge" hiding behind a revolving wall to prevent theft?

Time to fess up. Have you ever "borrowed" beer? Did you ever "liberated" a beer from a friend's fridge?

Did you get caught?
