Car locks thief insideAssociated Press

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - When a thief decided Sandra Boutwell's car was a good target, he probably didn't expect it to put up a fight.David Christopher Lander, 51, of Gainesville, was arrested early Thursday morning after the car he was allegedly burglarizing locked him inside, Alachua County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Keith Faulk said.The 1994 Infiniti is equipped with an anti-theft device that automatically locks the doors when the car alarm is triggered, Faulk said. When Lander entered the car, the doors locked."Had he pushed the button on the driver's side door, he could have gotten out," Faulk said.When deputies arrived shortly after 2 a.m., they found Lander locked in the car."He was trying to hide, all scrunched down in the back seat," Faulk said. "I guess he thought deputies couldn't see him."Deputies allegedly found in Landers' pockets a pendent valued at less than $50 and $3.21 in coins taken from the car. Lander was charged with one count of burglary of a conveyance and one count of theft.
