It was not a bird or a plane, but Hillsborough County deputies say the man wearing a Superman costume was a burglary suspect.

Deputies responded to Ruskin on July 25 after a boat owner discovered someone had broken into the cabin of a vessel anchored behind the owner’s home, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

Several power tools were reported stolen.
The sheriff’s office said investigators identified 57-year-old James Tidwell as the suspect. Body-camera video released by the agency shows deputies questioning Tidwell as he stands outside wearing a Superman shirt, red cape and matching costume.

When deputies tell him they are investigating a burglary, Tidwell points toward a nearby boat and appears to acknowledge taking property, telling them he “only took three items.”

The sheriff’s office said Tidwell, whom it described as a convicted felon, confessed to the theft and was taken into custody.
Tidwell was arrested on charges of burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and first-degree petit theft, according to HCSO.

But, but, but, "I only took 3 items!"

Yeah, only 3.

1) The boat.
2) The Trailer.
3) The truck that the boat and trailer were attached to.

What's the big deal on only 3 items ???!!!!
