In addition to already being in the hoosegow, this guy who swiped a CSX locomotive got three years of probation, 100 hours of community service, and a restraining order to keep him away from railroads. The guy's attorney says he's bipolar and wasn't taking his meds at the time of the theft.

From the Miami Herald, at SunSentinel.com:

Miami-Dade locomotive thief sentenced

"He had sneaked onto an empty train on a Kendall sidetrack with a friend. Then he executed an intricate series of steps to start the engine. He took CSX locomotive No. 2617 on a seven-mile joyride."

Now if he stole the Amtrak train out of Sanford, FL, would that be considered Grand Theft Auto-Train?

And if he took his mother and got angry and threw her off would it be: "Throw Momma from the Train"? :lol:
