What a great way to start my day!
Sweet justice!
Stolen by “kids”? You mean “yoooots”?
good.
I bet the first thing he did was call the police.
And demand special treatment because of his political position.
Again with the spamming??

According to Brown, the thieves jumped in his car after he got out to speak with community leader Ben Norman.Brown failed to realize his car had been started.TRENDING: Oregon School Board Forcing All Classrooms to Fly BLM Gay Pride FlagsFOX 5 reported that the councilman described the kids as being between ages 6 and 12”One kid was in the driver’s seat,” Brown said.”Ben attempted to open the door to get him out of the car. He fought with Ben.”
“I then engaged and tried to get him out of the car,” he added.

“The three other kids were trying to figure out how to get in the car or stay out of the car. He started to hit on the gas,” Brown said.Brown was dragged about a block down the road after attempting to hold onto the car to stop the kids.”As he started to speed up, and I knew that if I had not let go, I knew I probably could have killed myself because he was going so fast, I would have started to tumble. And I would have hurt him,” the councilman said.Brown said he does not plan on filing charges against the kids, who say they were acting out of desperation, according to Atlanta’s WSB-TV.
“This is a generational poverty issue,” he said.”These kids, it’s 12:30 in the afternoon. Why aren’t they in school?””Why aren’t we enforcing systems to ensure that if they are not in school, they’re in recreational centers?” he said.
Schadenfreude!
Teens finally doing something right
Or the catch-all "teens."
to,two,too funny
I wouldn’t be surprised by a lot more of these thefts where the perps just hop in the car and push the “Start” button. I can see this happening a lot to women at the gas station.
My cars don’t have this feature. As I understand it, you don’t have to insert the key to make it work, the key just has to be in proximity to the vehicle, like in your pocket to enable the “Start” button? How far is “proximity”.
Whoo - Karma in action.
Can you say Karma? Or should it be MISSING KAR MA? 😀
