The eclipse was a once in a lifetime event and millions of people in the United States dropped what they were doing to give the phenomenon a peek.

Including suspected car thieves.

Orange County law enforcement were tailing a stolen car Monday when the suspect suddenly pulled over to gaze upon the moon passing in front of the sun through a welding face mask.

They were all too proud to put it on their Facebook page.

Seeing solar eclipse is a incredibly rare occurrence. But getting arrested during one is even rarer.
