should have used Bart
I love it. Saved us the trouble and expense of court and prison. Sorry for the owner of the stolen vehicle, hope they had insurance. I doubt they will get restitution from the perp.
I’m all for trying to get your stuff back, but really this chasing of the suspect lead to his death. A car isn’t worth someones life. Now they’ll never get that car back..
Oh darn.. Another one bites the dust
That’s NOT an Accident, that’s a CRASH.
