So, if these guys were flush with cash, why did they rob a 7-11?
Some of these stories just don’t add up.
Hmmmmmm.
Seems from this mechanic’s description, they were in severe panic mode as of Tuesday, and I am sure that only expanded once the photos were released.
Seems weird that this looks like a well organized and orchestrated plan, but seemingly NO plan for afterwards. Maybe this group didn’t expect the depth of photos and video that would clearly identify them. Who knows.
One answer could be that they couldn’t get in touch with the source of their money after the attack.
OR it could be that the car repar guy wanted some free publicity.
That struck me as dumbness, too - although at the time I didn't know they were driving such high dollar wheels... it's just that after doing something like the bombing, is not the time to go try a stupid robbery.
That didn't add up.
Who knows, there’s so much bad info out. One story says they robbed a 7-11 another story says they stole a car from someone at or near the 7-11, before that some Indian kid, the some of a marathon sponsor, from PA was the guy. I’d just like to know who the screwballs are that put out all this crap “news”.
I agree it's strange but it wouldn't be the first time a well crafted plan failed because the getaway driver panicked and took off without the perps.
Now it is reported they didn’t rob the 7-11
that is just where the car jacked the mercedes
FNC just reported that the 7-11 was not robbed. Rather, it was the site of the carjacking. They didn’t spend too much time on this aspect. But wasn’t it a Mercedes that the men carjacked? I guess they were just used to ‘nice’ things.
I was my understanding they had the mercedes owner driving around for half and hour but they stopped at the 7-11 for gas. They ditched the car’s owner and drove off. The owner ran into the 7-11 for them to call 911.
Many auto finance companies have been as irresponsible as the home mortgage lenders in terms of handing out financing for new cars to anyone with a pulse.
So it doesn't necessarily mean they were flush with cash, they could have just taken advantage of the affirmative-action lack of credit standards which has been prevalent for many years.
They didn’t rob it, getting cash or carjacking
I think the “7-Eleven” story got screwed up. It was not robbed. That’s where the carjacked guy got loose/was let go. He ran into the store and called 911.
