Suspected car burglars hitchhike their way to jail

ORLANDO, FL (AP) -- Two men suspected in a group of central Florida car burglaries were caught empty-headed when they asked a deputy for a ride home.

Authorities say 18-year-old Eshon Hardy and 20-year-old Theodor Walker III were walking in a Deltona neighborhood Monday and asked Volusia County deputy Austin Littleton to give them a ride.

The deputy told them he first would have to search them before giving them a lift. The pair agreed, and authorities say they were found to have cell phones and GPS devices and a package of strawberry-flavored Pop-Tarts.

Deputies entered the home addresses in the GPS units to find the cars that the pair had burglarized. In another case, the only thing missing was change and a package of Pop-Tarts.

The pair were charged with burglary. They were being held on $1,500 bond.
