Catalyst thief flattened
A Catalytic Converter thief was crushed to death under the car he was stealing it from after he dislodged the car, which was in Neutral, off of it's jack. He had cleverly put a board under the car to raise his position but, in the end, all it did was ensure that his being closer to the car meant he would never survive the venture!

Hmm... while getting crushed under cars & other heavy objects due to improper bracing is rather commonplace I'm willing to accept this one given the additional idiocy of raising himself on a board AND leaving the car in neutral without the tires properly blocked. Why raise the car only to raise yourself as well? Why not just raise the car a slightly smaller amount? Thanks, Rusel!

He made a series of unusually bad choices and paid the price! Thanks, Rusel!
