I find it sad, someone saw them open the car and get in the sqeel off. That person just knew it was someone who worked there because he saw me parking it everyday and going to work. He came in and said the green tbird just got stolen.

fast forward to about 30 minutes ago. I went to lunch with a friend here. on the way back I saw my car driving around and the guy driving it. Since they were on a side street we pulled forward 1 block and made a U turn. By that time he turned right infront of me, and saw me on the phone. Took off speeding. We followed him for about 10 blocks, then my friend could not keep up. We lost him. Tried calling the police, they just said we don't do chases, call us when he stops.

I can imagine Cheif Wiggum reclining in his chair with donut crumbs falling all over his chest, "We don't do chases."

She actually reminded me of Deputy Raineesha Williams from Reno 911

Ouch. Kinda interesting that this topic came up. A friend at work had her car stolen like a week ago, but the other day she was driving down a main road in town (in her rental) and her car passed her going the opposite direction. She whipped around, followed them and called the police on her cell. When the cops pulled them over, the driver jumped out and ran into the woods, the passenger surrendered - and ratted out the other guy which they picked up later that day. Inside the backseat and trunk was PILES of bricks of weed.

So did she get to keep her weed? 😉
 
If I saw some POS who stole my car and driving it I would follow them until we reached a place where I could spin them out over a cliff. 1 less POS and a new car
 
If I could see the guy in my car, he wouldn't be getting away. I'd ram it and total the car before I let some crackhead fvckwit get away with my car with no consequences.

still nothing 🙁

I didn't have theft insurance on the car, so I'm considering it a loss 🙁

oh boy, makes me want to get a theft insurance now! sorry for the loss man!
 
ohh believe me if I was driving he would not have gotten away. We were coming back from lunch in her car and she was driving.

I've gotta check the laws in DC/MD/VA on owning a gun, because I now have permission to get a gun lol. Last Friday I was leaving work around 6PM 2 blocks away I hear gunshots going off. Look over and see a drive by going on. luckily no one was hit.

I am in the middle of the projects... As my company renovates them and restores abandoned buildings for reuse. I think it's time for a new job too

"Uh, yeah, those damn drug dealers. Good thing you got them and their weed."

I parked my volvo in spots around SE that I really didn't expect it to be when I got back. You'd get out and see the dealers on the street corners with the lookouts at the end of the block. Just had to go on and finish my business. Anacostia, Alabama Ave, Anywhere along suitland pkwy.
