Man stole buses, drove them on routes, returned them at night
If James L. Harris really did what police say he did, then I would like to award him a Happy Mutant Criminal Award certificate.
The 18-year-old is accused of stealing at least three Miami-Dade Transist buses, and driving them on their routes.
Poilice say Harris wore a Miami-Dade Transit employee uniform, did not steal the fares, and returned the buses to the depot each night.
He’s been charged with three counts each of third-degree grand theft and burglary of an occupied conveyance.

The bigger question, is where was the original driver? While it probably is illegal to do so, I really don’t think they need to charge him with such high degree crimes though. Perhaps they could have just offered him an unpaid internship! Problem solved.
