Really bad news writing. Owner files police report for stolen vehicle, investigators don’t know why the 8 teenagers were in the car, they didn’t have permission and were not related to the owner.
Really? Journalists can’t do any better than this?
Anyone can be a journalist you don’t need brains.
"Journalists" face two main obstacles in this regard. First, they "ain't all that bright". School of Journalism students are almost always in the bottom tier in terms of college entrance scores. Secondly, they are either unwilling or unable to write a story that does not conform to the Liberal line. To the Left, Blacks are eternal victims, and thus cannot be blamed when something goes "amiss". Thus, the story had to be written, but had to leave out the criminal act. What you have left is the poorly-worded dreck that we get in modern news stories.
