On early Wednesday morning, in the town of Apatity in northern Russia, a man in his late 20s attempted to steal booze using an armored personnel carrier (APC) he picked up at a nearby training ground.

Bystanders watched as the man crashed the vehicle into a convenience store, and then climbed out of the vehicle to enter the store and steal a bottle of wine.

Reuters reported that the man stole the vehicle from a “privately-run motorsport training ground nearby,” before driving it through the woods and into the small town, which is just south of the Arctic Circle, and near the border with Finland.

Unsurprisingly, driving an APC is pretty hard, and after stealing the wine, the driver, who was drunk, struggled to turn the vehicle around. He smashed a car in the parking lot before giving up entirely and leaving with his wine. He was later arrested.

“Basically some guy stole an armored vehicle... and went into a shop to top up his stocks in the morning,” a bystander who tweeted photos of the event told Reuters. For one bottle of wine, it really doesn't seem worth the trouble.
