- A man was killed Thursday morning in east Vancouver while he was apparently attempting to steal a catalytic converter from a car.

Four Seasons Auto Repair and Tire Center owner Faazan Ahmed said the man was seen on surveillance video around 2 a.m. jacking up a silver Mercedes parked in the shop’s parking lot. The jack tipped over and the car fell, crushing him.

The man’s body wasn’t discovered until after 7 a.m., when Ahmed said someone next door to his shop noticed the man under a car.

The jack tipped over and the car fell, crushing him.

What I've been experiencing every morning - for the past few decades.

Maybe he twitched a lot.

To give himself time to think of what he is doing.

The guy was probably an addict. If not for payola Joe, Hunter would probably be ripping them off.

Geez, people around my parts just pick a high vehicle and slide under, no time for a jack.
Maybe he should have hired a skinny accomplice and demanded 10% upfront for the Big Guy.
