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?"

In the article, they ask what is the best kind of car to steal?
Near our very rural river place, there is only one gas station/quick shop within 25 miles in any direction.

A few years ago, an odd young drifter was making a disturbance there, so the proprietor called the sheriff. When the deputy arrived he went in the front of the store while the drifter ran out the back then around to the front.

Unfortunately, the deputy had left the keys in the ignition, so naturally the drifter jumped in and took off, drove it down to the river access and right off the ramp into the river, shotgun and all.

They finally found the drifter a week later hitchhiking on the interstate a hundred miles away.

I’m surprised it took this long to mention that. Good thing I read all the replies first.

#2. When they catch the thief, see if his father was also a crook. That would explain why he was also a thief, a “chip off the old block” if you will.
