Alleged car thief in Florida stops to buy welder's mask to watch eclipse

Jocsan Feliciano Rosado stopped at a hardware store to buy a welder’s mask and stand in the parking lot to catch a glimpse of the eclipse.

Only one problem: He was driving a stolen car and was being followed by Orange County Sheriff's deputies, according to an account posted on Facebook.

He was nabbed while staring up at the sky with the welding helmet on, oblivious to the swarming deputies. At least he stopped to buy eye protection.

"He never saw it coming," the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post. "That only happens every 99 years."

A man's got to have his priorities.
