A Florida man and woman were charged with grand theft auto late last week, but it's the vehicle and what they intended to use it for that's making headlines.

Jonesing for a quickie, Alexander Pratt and Clara Pearson jumped into a Honda Civic which was left unlocked while running, the Palm Beach Post reported.

They didn't realize that the car, which is owned by the Palm Beach County sheriff's department and is armed with video, audio and GPS surveillance, was being used by plainclothes deputies from the sheriff's auto theft task force at the time.

The chance to experience the bliss they were chasing was cut short by police who spotted the car and stopped it.

Pearson and Pratt were taken into custody and Pratt told officers he knew the car was stolen but didn't regret it because he wanted to "go to have intimate relations with Pearson," said the paper, quoting a probable cause affidavit.
