A jewelry thief in Turkey broke into a shop using a forklift and then fled the scene on a donkey. This isn't a movie, it's real life.

You certainly don't hear about stories like this very often. Usually, you want your getaway vehicle to be a sports car or at least a motor vehicle. A donkey could present some issues for your getaway. Believe it or not, he did not getaway with the crime. According to The Sun, the suspect, identified only as M.C., 26, was arrested after a search. He reportedly stole 150g of gold jewelry which was later found buried in the ground. Stolen items included ornate rings, necklaces, and bracelets that were all made of gold.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
