PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - Police say a Florida man stole a chain saw by sticking it down his pants.
Surveillance video from Treasure Coast Lawn Equipment in Port St. Lucie shows the man putting the tool worth more than $600 down his pants.
Police told Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers that Anthony Ballard had come in asking for $1 worth of change.
Police say employees chased Ballard, who ditched the tool in a wooded lot. The employees called 9-1-1 when they saw Ballard return to look for it.
Ballard told police he stole the tool but had a change of heart and wanted to return it.
He was held this week on grand theft and burglary charges.
Bond was set at $28,750. Jail records didn't show whether he had an attorney.
