Fabulous felon

If you're going to court on an auto theft charge, you should go there in style.

That, apparently, was the thinking of a San Anselmo, CA, man who drove a stolen Lexus SUV to the courthouse on the day a jury was to decide whether he was guilty in another auto theft case. The man was -- surprise! -- found guilty of the earlier crime. He also was charged with receiving stolen goods for driving the hot Lexus.

Extra points: He was identified as a 37-year-old San Francisco hairstylist.

Double extra points: Police got onto the stolen Lexus when passers-by noticed several Yorkies yapping inside. The man faces an animal cruelty charge for leaving the little dogs locked up in the vehicle while he was in court.
