Dim Crims: Robbers stranded as getaway car is stolen

Two alleged robbers were left high and dry Thursday when a Burger King employee hid their getaway car.  Police in Stockton, Calif., say Jeremy Lovitt, 23, and Gabriel Gonzales, 19, held up the fast food restaurant at gunpoint. While the manager and another employee handed over the money, a third employee says he exited the restaurant through the back and noticed that there was a car with the engine running in the parking lot.  The employee figured the vehicle was the suspects' getaway car, so he drove it around the corner and hid it.  When the two men ran out of the Burger King, they found their car was gone and attempted to flee, but cops quickly caught them.  They were arrested and taken to the San Joaquin County Jail.      [BJS]
