Lucky Numbers

Turns out the D.C. Police arn't entirely incompetent and a D.C. resident was lucky (real lucky) twice within two hours.

A 44-year-old District man bought a winning $25,000 scratch-off lottery ticket at a convenience store in Northeast Washington only to have it snatched by a robber as he left the shop, D.C. police said.

Within two hours, officers arrested the alleged thief and reunited the victim with his ticket.

Wow. Can you imagine that.

The victim, whose identity was withheld by authorities because he was a witness to the theft, seemed even more excited when police arrested his alleged assailant, Riddle said.

"He was very happy about that," Riddle added.

I'd say. First, the D.C. police actual arrest a real theif, and then instead of pocketing the cash like the criminals they are, the police give the man what's rightfully his - and without any payoff to Chief Incompetance Ramsey.

Just incredible.
