When trying to running from police who are questioning you about a motorcycle you stole, leaving behind things like, your ID, is not a very smart idea. (Not that stealing a motorcycle is a smart idea to begin with.)

According to DalJE.com, police in Florida spotted a guy checking is motorcycle headlight on the side of the road to ask if everything was okay. The 41-year-old man said he was helping a friend get the bike running, but couldn’t give a name or address of this ‘friend.’

Police did a check and found that the bike had been reported stolen. Our guy decided to try and take off on foot but when he ran he left behind his backpack that had a few important, identifying items inside, such as his ID.

Needless to say, he was not hard to track down and was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle, resisting arrest and occupied burglary.
