Oakland man with peculiar to-do list arrested

( KRON ) — An Oakland man with a peculiar handwritten list of "goals" in his pocket was arrested in the East Bay after police investigated the stolen vehicle he was driving, according to the Hercules Police Department.

A Hercules police officer at Safeway, located at 4080 San Pablo Avenue, witnessed a Honda Civic backing into a parking spot with a temporary rear plate and no front plate, authorities said. The officer ran a records check on the plate and VIN, and learned the vehicle was reported stolen out of Antioch.

The driver, only identified by police as a man from Oakland, was arrested inside Safeway without incident. A search of the man turned up several stolen credit cards, a fraudulent check, a stolen driver's license, mailbox keys and a to-do list in his pocket, Hercules PD said.

The list reads: "Goals 1) Laundry 2) Talk to kids 3) Get some money 4) Boost." According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "boost" can be used as slang for stealing or shoplifting.

"How are those New Year's resolutions holding up?" Hercules police teased on Facebook . "Guess he's keeping up with his goals… sort of."
