Texas Maniac Mows A Guy's Yard & Then Tries To Steal The Mower -- On A Friday Night

Do you have a neighbor with a yard that needs to be mowed and a Toro sitting around? You might want to summons suspected thief Marcus Hubbard who made a name for himself down in Port Arthur, Texas last week when it was revealed by the local police department that Hubbard mowed a homeowner's yard before trying to steal the lawnmower.

Just leave the mower out. Hubbs will mow the lawn and possibly steal the mower after he finishes up.

Talk about a real go-getter. While most thieves throw the mower in the back of a piece of junk S-10 and speed off to flip the mower for a drug fix, Hubbard actually put in the work before thieving.

Surveillance video even showed Hubbard gassing up the mower before he laid down some stripes in the front yard.

"Upon officers' arrival, Hubbard is seen running from the area while dragging the lawnmower with him. He abandons the lawnmower in an alley and evades apprehension," the Port Arthur PD reports while adding he has an outstanding warrant for burglary of a building.

Now, there are two things that stand out to the Thursday Night Mowing League commissioner:

Marcus, I hope you're reading this. We have a whole mowing league you're going to love. Now, you'll have to give up your burglary days, but I think there might be a bright future for you within the sport.

I have several yards I'd like for you to start with including my neighbor's yard. Send me an email.
