People can be so flagrantly silly sometimes. Here is a little tip, do not give the Police the finger while you have stolen property on your person.  :)  From the cbc news 680.

KENORA, Ont. – An Edmonton man who used his middle finger to flag down a cruiser in northern Ontario has been charged with stolen property offences.

The cruiser with the Kenora detachment stopped after officers noticed the not-so-polite gesture, and the man asked if he could get a ride to the nearest town.

Officers found the man had two-stolen credit cards, a stolen GPS, an iPod charger and a BlackBerry.
