I Can Imagine In The Times Of The Wild West,

it was perfectly normal to have a 'get away' horse waiting outside the bank you were robbing,

but in this day and age the same thing would be a bit slow as a get away from the scene of the crime device, especially if you were towing a mobile flower cart, but that did not deter George Smith, cool as a cucumber he went into town with his horse and saw an opportunity to make a few pounds, he tried to steal a flower cart by hitching it to his horse and riding off into the sunset, onlookers in Stavordale Road, Carshalton, Surrey in the UK were shocked when Smith arrived with his horse, a chestnut mare, and hooked her to the flower stall in broad daylight on June 26, the cart, which belongs to florist Christopher Tucker, was dragged through a supermarket car park and down side alleys before police caught up with the 36-year-old and arrested him,


Smith, of Canal Walk, Croydon, pleaded guilty to one count of theft by finding when he appeared at Croydon Magistrates’ Court last Thursday, remorseful for what he had done, delivering the verdict magistrates ordered Smith to pay a £110 fine, £85 in court costs and a £15 victim surcharge, note to self, if I am ever tempted to drive away with a flower cart use a car!
