There are certain things that a criminal mind should just know. Like, to avoid robbing people when there's snow on the ground. Or to not keep evidence linked to your crime in your pockets. Perhaps avoid stealing a flashy, brand-new car, especially one equipped with OnStar GPS tracking technology.

And if you're going to use handcuffs on your victim, you do it --

don't let them handcuff themselves! C'mon, man, haven't you ever watched an action movie? Akeem Mosley, 24, is accused of making all of these mistakes and more, which is why he allegedly spent just two hours enjoying someone else's cherry-red, 2010 Camaro before Kansas City police officers arrested him.



The owner of the Camaro was warming up the car in front of his house

near 33rd and Jackson on the morning of December 13 when Mosley allegedly

opened the driver's door, brandished a .9 millimeter handgun and ordered the driver to exit the vehicle.

Mosley allegedly gave the victim a set of handcuffs and told him to handcuff himself to the porch, which the victim pretended to do. Once Mosley drove off in the Camaro, the victim ran inside and called police, according to court documents.

Police used the Camaro's OnStar tracking system to locate the vehicle where it was stopped near 41st and Harrison. Officers saw Mosley exit the vehicle. When Mosley saw the police, according to their account, he tried to escape, leaking evidence as he ran: a loaded, black .9 millimeter handgun, a flashlight, and two keys to the stolen Camaro.

When Mosley was arrested, detectives recovered a key to a pair of Smith and Wesson handcuffs in one of his pockets. They also took his shoes as evidence, to match the treads to the footprints in the snow.
