Keith Spence holds the title to his car after recently being arrested for theft of the same car.

BALTIMORE - Baltimore City police have a new crime on the books: Stealing your own car.

Just ask Keith Spence, a Baltimore City resident who was arrested when he was driving home from work in a car he bought with a tax refund.

“I couldn’t believe it was happening,” Spence said.

Spence, 28, said city police pulled him over in his 1993 red Cadillac Elderado coupe for a cracked rear window in February. Four officers dragged Spence and his two passengers from the car and said they were under arrest for stealing it, he said.

Gun shop gets raided. ATF doesn't press charges, nor do they have to for five years but gives owner 2 days to post thousands of dollars in bonds to keep ATF from selling his property.

Yay for racial profiling! Yay for breaching constitutional rights!

The government's going to have hell to pay for this one.
