A “Florida man” abandoned a stolen car on the railroad tracks and a train sent it hurtling into a nearby house. I suspect alcohol was involved.

> [@Mustangman](#): > > Yup, sure reads like a bit “hey, watch THIS” with someone elses car! Maybe. The news item says he claims he stole the car in a “good faith effort” to look for his own. I don’t see much “good faith” but I guess if you’re drunk enough… ---

I listen to a Podcast called Idiot of the Week, the hosts say that part of Florida in particular is the epicenter of the dumbest stories. Port St Lucie in particular which is just a little south of where this happened. ---

To be fair (c’mon, who wants to be fair!?), Florida requires disclosure of felonies in the newspaper. Florida Man is on full public display. Not so in most other places, though we can be sure there are equally insane stunts in other states. Now, let’s get back to bashing Florida Man! ---
