A man had his truck stolen for the second time in less than a month Sunday on La Crosse’s South Side, authorities say.
La Crosse police are looking for a pair of African American teens accused of taking the 2010 Ford F-350 Super Duty on a joy ride early Sunday morning.
According to the police report, the owner left the vehicle locked and parked, with the keys in a hidden cupholder, at about 12:40 a.m. on East Avenue and Ferry Street. When he came outside five minutes later the vehicle was gone, and he called police.
The truck was previously stolen Sept. 11.
The owner told police he had left his other set of keys inside in the same cupholder and found it later that day on the 1600 block of Market Street. Those keys were not recovered at the time.
Truck stolen twice in one month on La Crosse’s South Side
Let me summarize the whole thing: He got his ruck stolen once, he had a copy of the keys in the cup holder which were stolen. The truck is recovered and this time he makes sure is closed, but apparently he never got around to change the locks because when the cops recovered the truck the second frigging time, they found the stolen keys in it.
He is a victim alright, but I won’t say of what as not to hurt the sensitivities of some.
Screw that, he was victim of his own stupidity.

He needs to start hiding his keys in his prison pocket.
How does that phrase go, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice…?
Seriously. He didn’t break the law, he was a victim, but he was also acting like a fool after the first theft.
