New York City has given a guy named Halbert Burke permission to steal as many cars as he wants.
So far, the city has arrested and released him 60 times.
I disagree with this policy.
But I don’t live in New York City, and I respect the right of its citizens to vote for policies that I disagree with.
he’s not very good at it
That depends. Has he stolen 60 cars or 6000 cars?
Are they gonna make a movie “Busted in 60 Seconds”?
In much of our country the turkey vultures would be picking out the thief’s eyeballs before he got out of the driveway.
Outside the US.
Guiness Book of World Records.
Tommy Johns of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Total number arrests 3,000. As of April, 1988.
Most common offense for him was being drunk and disorderly in a public place.
In Mayberry, Aunt Bee would have brought him a hot food tray covered by a red checkered cloth. Home made fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn on the cob with butter, green beans, hot apple pie with cheddar cheese on top.

If only that were true.

One of my two or three all-time favorite comedy series!
Great show.
I’ll say it again. If I were ever to turn to crime as a way of life, I’d steal cars. My wifes car was stolen from a park-n-ride in Everett, WA and later was found abandoned because the battery went dead. There was all kinds of personal effects in the car...work uniforms, W2 tax documents, mail key, etc. The cops wouldnt do a damn thing and we had to pay the impound fee to get it back. Later I found out that someone has to get cold busted minimum 5X stealing cars before doing any real time.

Because its New York City and not likely to happen, but it sounds like the dude is overdue for a meeting between himself and a few rounds of high- velocity lead.
Not me! I'd enter Politics!

Sure he is. He’s not getting punished and having a great time.
