Praise the Lord for McDonald’s ice cream, because apparently it saves lives. Well…it saves cars…but if you’re confused, I’ll explain.

Virginia Maiden, a McDonald’s employee, awoke on Tuesday morning to find that her 1995 Toyota 4-Runner had been stolen. Bummer. But she trucked into work by hitching a ride, because, that’s what responsible people do.

But the odds were in her favor, because when she took an order at the drive-thru window she noticed that the car ordering was a 1995 Toyota 4-Runner.

Coincidence?

Not even. She started talking to the customer and noticed that her McDonald’s visor was hanging from the rearview mirror. 

(Okay, commentary time…you’d think the driver of the vehicle wouldn’t go to McDonald’s if there was a McDonald’s visor in the car. More likely than not, that person works at MCDONALDS!!! But I digress..)

According to Gawker:

The woman driving the stolen car had ordered ice cream, so the quick thinking Maiden told her the ice cream machine was temporarily broken, and that she should pull up to the next window. Maiden then called police, who arrived in time to arrest the suspect.

Brilliant.

A search of the car revealed clothes allegedly stolen from J.C. Penney’s and Sears, but no charges have been filed yet.

Add this to the reasons we just can’t give up on ol’ Mickey Dee’s.
