These Folks Were Just Asking For It

If you're going to steal copper pipes, you could probably pick a better location (h/t Instapundit):

GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) — It’s a bad idea to burglarize a place marked "K-9 training facility.“

Police dog handlers arriving Wednesday at the abandoned nursing home where they hold training sessions discovered two men and a woman dismantling the building’s copper pipes and wiring, Hall County Sheriff’s Sgt. Kiley Sargent said.

When the officers arrived, the three dropped their tools and ran. That was their second mistake.

"For anyone to try to run from a whole unit of canines, it’s just a no-win situation,“ Sargent said.

Pamela Puckett, 37, quickly surrendered. Marc Black, 18, was tracked to a trash bin behind a nearby convenience store. Paul Perry, 39, was treated for a superficial dog bite just below the buttocks after his arrest, authorities said.

Signs outside the northern Georgia facility warn, „Caution!!! Gainesville Police Department K-9 training facility — Keep Out.“

Burglars are not known to be particulary bright.
