When your defense lawyer admits you committed a "crime of stupidity," you know you're in trouble.

Michael Letendre, 19, provided a court in Edmonton with a good laugh when he admitted stealing a bike and riding it to a police station for his probation hearing.

According to the article, even the judge thought it was funny.

Now, this bike you see at left, is not the one that was stolen.  It's a just a brand new highly-desirable Pinarello Prince that belongs to my brother, Scott. It's retail price is $4,500.

It's locked in his garage now

…the combination of which is 8427.

Did I mention he's not home from 9AM-6:30 (except Thursdays, when he's out until 8)?

Incidentally, his dog doesn't bite.

In case you were wondering.
