A man who broke into a vehicle in an underground parking garage called the fire department when the stolen van he was driving caught fire.
Michael Mathauser, 20, of Squamish, was arrested on June 15 for theft, stolen property, break and enter and breach of probation.
“It was like ‘America’s Dumbest Criminals,’” said Mel Fisher, whose Jeep was apparently broken into by Mathauser.
