Florida (obviously) Man learned the hard way he is not a cat and cannot get away with stealing beer.  Especially if he asks the clerk what would happen.

A Florida man asked the store clerk, “What would happen if I stole some beer?”

Police say Christopher Maxwell soon found out.

Sebastian police told TCPalm.com the 33-year-old Maxwell entered a convenience store at 2:30 a.m. Friday but was told he couldn’t buy beer because alcohol sales are banned in the city between 1 and 7 a.m. In response to Maxwell’s question, the clerk replied she would call 911. Maxwell still grabbed two 18-packs of Bud Light and left. The clerk did as she said.

Bud Light?! That's what gets me. Not that he stole the beer, but he stole Bud Light. If one is going to jail for beer theft, one might as well steal the good stuff.

Yeah that was my reaction too.  If you're going to jail you might as well have a good reason.  Could be worse, I suppose.  He could've stolen Keystone Light or any beer with Milwaukee in the name.
