Short story: Guy goes into court after failing in his current probation conditions, the judge lets him go with a warning.  He exits the building, breaks into a car in front of two cops (the same crime has was already in court for) and the car turns out to belong to the judge who just cut him a break.  

If that was written into a an episode of Justified or Law & Order, everyone would go "yea, right, that'll happen."  And yet, here we have both a "lesson to the bench" and a "You can't make this shit up" moment all rolled into one.  I wonder if the next judge will let him off with a warning too?  I guess it may depend on where they parked...
