What a convoluted headline!

Today’s “journalists” have no grasp of simple grammar.

Bad headline. In fairness, the headlines are often written by the editors.

Pretty much every part of this story makes one question the capability of the writer.

My piling-on:

“[A] car that was reported stolen . . . . a car thief might have been responsible. . . . “

(I’ve skipped over the “empty car that was reported stolen” inanity.)
