TOKYO - A Japanese man told police he stole a patrol car that had been left idling outside a post office in Gunma, north of Tokyo, because he was too tired to walk home.

Police officers had left the vehicle in the car park with the engine running, while they investigated a report that a stolen card had been used at the post office, the Mainichi newspaper said Tuesday.

“I came out shopping by train, but I got tired walking, so I thought I would drive the police car home,” the man told police.


He was apprehended about 15 minutes later in the driveway of a private home, about 2.5 miles from the post office, the Mainichi said.
