A Florida man allegedly stole a forklift just because it’s better than walking, police said.

Bradley Barefoot, 43, was at a Best Buy in Daytona Beach when he used the fork lift to move "some large boxes to a neighboring parking lot," The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.

After he determined the boxes had no value, he left them and decided to take the fork lift for a spin around 4 a.m, the News-Journal reported.

Police said the lift “had no lights and wasn’t street legal,” according to the newspaper.

Barefoot was charged with grand theft.
