Oklahoma Man Steals Doritos Truck Resulting in 100-Mile Chase The delivery vehicle was idling at a gas station when the thief made his move.

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?"

Best flavor they ever did may have been experimental. Sour cream and chives. Still remember them from the summer of ‘78 in the Midwest.

"What do you think you're going to do with a truck like that?"

"That's nacho problem, Mr. CHP. Do you think I'm a dip?"

This thread didn’t really look real interesting, but I figured, what the hay?

Turns out: the humor was priceless.

I can see it now! Ponch and John are called while on patrol. They have to respond to a GTA and give pursuit on the 101...

And his whole body was covered with Dorito dust.

Newman!

My grandmother was Penn, Dutch. A family member still in Pa. would send her a tin for the holidays and for her birthday.

She saved the empty tins to store her homemade goodies.

[SgtHooper]

LMAO!

You can still get Charles Chips!

Yes, and I have bought a couple of tins at Cracker Barrel. I also saw them at Fresh Market.

Several differences: the chips are no longer made by the same company. Nothing wrong with the current product, but the original Charles sourced the potatoes from Idaho, and one year there was a bad crop. The potato chips came out small, green, and expensive. That got a lot of customers to cancel their potato chip delivery.

Now, the tins have a sealed bag of chips inside. In the post-Tylenol era that is a necessity, but takes away some of the charm of opening up a metal tin, and sticking in your hand for some chips. The tin itself is now superfluous.

Finally, Charles' Chips used to have a boatload of flavors. Not just regular, rippled and barbeque, but Garlic, Hickory smoked, Sour Cream and Onion, Salt-Free, and other neat-o flavors I have forgotten. Don't forget the 5 pound party tins of both chips and pretzels (after the route ended, my mother secretly used left-over pretzel crumbs stored in a garbage bag for chicken breading for about 10 years without telling anyone!) , and the cookies were also delicious.

I agree on both counts!

She saved the empty tins to store her homemade goodies.

A great use. Those tins had a deposit on them, and were designed to be washed, sanitized and reused.

That Matthew McConaughey ...

Just a good old boy
Never meanin' no harm ...

How will this affect his political chances?

[Usawatcher]

Well oklahoma isn’t known for having a lot of rocket scientists.....churches maybe, but not many nukeler scientists....😎

Probably just a mis-understood kid from a broken home, no parents, hoping to sell the chips to pay his college tuition to OU...😁.

[familyop]

Well, at least he didn’t choose to steal and run with a doughnut truck.

[higgmeister]

My uncle had an old Model A Ford with a sticker on the back that said “Made in Oklahoma by Indians”

[moovova]

I loved that stuff when I was a kid. Could sit and eat a large tin of the regular chips. Good memories.

[dragnet2]

Wait till people find out Doritos is industrial waste, squeezed out of tubes, cut into triangles, dried and bagged.
