JOHNSTOWN, Pa. --
Everyone forgets their keys now and then, but police said one man managed to do so at a most inopportune time: while he was burglarizing a hair salon.
According to the Tribune-Democrat, Johnstown police said 27-year-old Charles Nash Gray Jr. left the keys to his public housing apartment behind during the burglary at Cuts and Stuff, a hair and beauty salon, on Jan. 18.
Police said Gray stole more than $600 in cash and checks during the break-in.
An employee found the keys and police took them to Gray's apartment, where he was arrested.
Gray remains in the Cambria County Jail and will stand trial on burglary, theft and other charges after waiving his right to a preliminary hearing on Thursday.
