When I was in college I passed by an unlocked city cop car about 500 yards away from the cop (he was busy arresting a visiting teams rugby player that got in a bar fight the night prior). Sparked up the big fat J that was in my pocket and fishbowled the hell out of that crown victoria then ran like hell.... wish I would have stuck around to see his face....
When I was growing up in a small town the three police officers the town had all had a routine of having coffee in the diner that was open 24 hours. Some one stole the bubble lights off the top of one of them. All the kids in town knew who did it but never said a word. The lights were found in an alley a few days later.
The catalytic converters were stolen (one stolen, one ruined) off of my pickup a little over a week ago. Video showed it took 4 minutes start to finish. The only reason they only ruined one was that the alarm went off and spooked them. Sadly, not enough detail in the video to see who it was. Even worse, it'll probably take 6 to 8 months, maybe longer, to get replacements.

ReplyDeleteFWIW, it took me 3 months for a Toyota truck
DeleteTook a week for my Transit work van. And about $4,000.
DeleteThis is Gavin Newsom's vision for an entire nation. I'm sure his response to this would involve electric police cars somehow.
