A Florida man learned it's true that when you snooze, you lose -- after losing his freedom for breaking into a convenience store, then lying down for a nap right across the street!
Police were dispatched to investigate an alarm at the Sunrise Food Mart, and found the front window had been shattered by a large concrete waste bin -- then noticed Dave Toliver sprawled on the ground just a few hundred feet away. When the deputies approached Toliver, they found him carrying several items that matched what looked to be missing from the store -- including several packs of cigarettes, a lighter, a sandwich and a soda pop.
The store owner, who was also summoned to the scene, looked at his surveillance video and told deputies that Toliver had been to the store the day before trying to purchase the same items, only to have his credit card declined.
