Police chase man who circles back, steals police car

When a police officer spotted two suspected burglars early this morning, he gave chase. Leaving behind his unlocked police cruiser. While the officer continued pursuing the suspects through the darkness, he became a crime victim himself. Exhausted after the unsuccessful chase the officer trotted back to his vehicle, as he approached one of the two men he'd been pursuing jumped into the driver's seat and sped past the reasonably dejected officer.

By dawn the Fairburn police had located the stolen car, but alas the ingenious thief continued to elude his captors and his victim. This is just embarrassing and doesn't speak well of the police force in Fairburn, Ga.
