There is a town in Alabama. An Alabama man who called a wrecker service asking to have a 70 ton crane pulled out of the woods is now accused of stealing the heavy machinery.

The owner of a towing service contacted the sheriff&s office on Monday, saying that a man had called him and said that he wanted to sell the crane for scrap.

The wrecker service owner contacted the crane's owner, who denied giving it away. The law enforcement was called by the towing operator. The man who wanted the crane moved fled before officers arrived, driving the rig into a ditch.

A Clanton man was arrested Tuesday on charges of first-degree theft and a violation of his parole. The name of the defense attorney who could speak on Mims' behalf was not included in the court records.

We have worked a lot of theft cases over the years, but this one definitely takes first place in the category.
