And today's last word in business is about three guys who could use a lawyer.
RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:
The wildly popular video game "Grand Theft Auto" released a new installment this week, number five in the series. And three New York men were so eager to get the game; they hatched a scheme that could be one of "Grand Theft Auto's" plots.
According to the New York Post, the men pulled up to the Staten Island mall yesterday in a used police car they bought at auction, complete with lights and a siren. They walked past hundreds of people in line and flashed what looked like a police badge to get into the store.
INSKEEP: The men then purchased the game and attempted to get away. But they must have been nervous because real police pulled them over for running stop signs.
MONTAGNE: The three men were charged with criminal impersonation, which carries up to a year in jail.
