Shades of "The Goon Show!"

Hi ya! Wassup? Fill your mug, slide a virtual doughnut onto your plate and tell me about it. Meanwhile, listen to this comedy of mishaps...

Mauricio Fierro gained instant fame in December in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as the reported victim of a car theft (captured on surveillance video) when he dashed into a pharmacy. 

He went to a police station to file a report, but encountered the pharmacy owner making his own report -- that Fierro was actually robbing him at the moment the car was taken. 

More surveillance video revealed that while Fierro was standing outside the pharmacy, wondering where his (stolen) car was, a man ran by and stole the stolen cash. 

Fierro then complained to the police even more about Sao Paulo's crime rate and lack of security. 

Afterward, Fierro admitted to a local news website that in fact he had stolen the very car that he was reporting stolen.

Sounds a little like "Who's on First?".

See ya, eh!
