Look, we're all well-adjusted adults here, so we already know that there isn't a "best" vehicle to steal. (And we're not just saying that because our moms read this site.) But the absolute worst kind of motor vehicle to make off with is probably the one that an Oklahoma City man recently stole.
According to the Enid Police Department, 34-year-old Joshua Karpe allegedly helped himself to a Frito-Lay truck—one that had a giant, immediately recognizable picture of Doritos on the side of it—as it idled in the parking lot of a gas station in Oklahoma City. The Frito-Lay driver saw Karpe pulling away with his truck and tried to get him to stop, but the thief kept driving. And driving. And driving.
Karpe led officers on an hour-long chase that covered almost 100 miles and stretched across three counties. The pursuit of the snack chip-covered truck required the participation of four different law enforcement agencies: the Oklahoma City Police Department, the Enid Police Department, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Garfield County Sheriff's Office.
"I would love to know the motivation of stealing a truck that's very, very easy to spot and doesn't go very fast," Capt. Jeff Spruill of the Oklahoma City Police Department told KFOR. "What do you think you're going to do with a truck like that?"

Someone really had the munchies.
Karpe Dorito?
I recall reading somewhere about how Doritos got it’s start. Initially, they started as the taco shells that were served at Disneyland and apparently Walt liked them so much, he suggested to the man that he use the surplus materials to make into something like potato chips, and thus the Doritos were born.
“an hour-long chase that covered almost 100 miles”
Sounds like the truck could make pretty good time....
nasty brand, I never eat them.
stop making mathematical sense!
My parents had a Charles Chips route. As a youngster, I would go in the truck, and take one potato chip from each accessible can (pre-Tylenol scare days). The truck wasn’t fast, but it was great for camping.
Yeah I like nacho cheese Doritos once in awhile
Hard to snack while driving a stolen truck I would think
Seems like most Dorito trucks I’ve seen have vast expanses white paint privilege. Maybe that’s why it seemed so speedy.
When the chips are down.....
Crunch all you want, we’ll make more!
gosh I loved charlies chips!
Karpe Fritos Diem
Dude!
Huh? What?
Be on the lookout for the man’s partner who may be looking to steal a salsa or guacamole truck.
I see a new commercial on it’s way.
When ya got no wheels, it looked like a Mercedes.
