It has been reported in the US press That ......?

Maybe he even held up two fingers out and said, "Taym! Taym! Putya naman pahinga muna" dahling.

sounds like somethign you'd see on Fark.com, but I couldn't find it.

Oh wait, I did just find it:

MANILA (Reuters) - Philippine police chased down an unfit thief on Tuesday after he ran out of breath and asked his pursuers for a "time out".

"He was panting and gasping for air when we caught up with him after a 500 metre sprint," Erwin Buenceso, one of the arresting officers, told local radio station dzBB.

Buenceso said the man and an accomplice broke into a house in the Philippine capital and stole two expensive mobile phones. Screams from the residence alerted a local police patrol, which gave chase.

The robber asked for a "time out" using hand signals.

After he regained his composure, police seized the two stolen phones and brought him to a station for questioning.

I dont if that happened.but this one happened for sure..

A drunk guy sexually harrassed a reporter in a bar, he made the whole bar a total mess, then when the police came, he said that he is a son of a politician. The police let him go..driving his car very drunk damaging the taxi parked nearby.

When the reporters asked the police why did they let the guy go..he has to pay for all the mess that he did..

The policeman said. "if we did not let him go, he will damage more properties!".

I never heard of that one but a victim of a robbery once told a robber that all victims get 1 phone call, the robber fell for it and the victim used the 1 phone call to call the Police lol

Apparently it happened in the Phillipines
