Thief Steals Security Cameras With Lasso In Corpus Christi, Tex. (VIDEO)

Yeehaw! A rootin' tootin' Texas outlaw allegedly lassoed three surveillance cameras off a government building in Corpus Christi.

Police are looking for the cowboy who roped himself the security equipment from the city's Health Department building, The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports.

Footage posted on YouTube by the local police department shows a man wearing a camouflage baseball hat, button shirt and jeans sidling up and tossing a lariat around a camera at 4 am last Friday, according to TV station KZTV. Two other devices were yanked down the same way.

Maybe we should just give Texas back to Mexico--we'll give the few Liberals living down there fair warning so they can safely cross the border before the transfer. ;D

His defense:

he was ROPED into it.
He couldn't take them down correctly because he was too TIED UP.
