How do you fit four people in a Lamborghini?

And the work LA AG will not do anything. I wonder why police even try sometimes since they get sold out by radical AGs.

Not much space behind the 2nd row, but enough for a night’s worth of catalyst stealing.

ALL catalytic convertor thieves should be shot on sight. Even if they're in a Lamborghini.

Remember hanging horse thieves? That's because a horse was a man's livelihood. Well, modern day, a car is many people's livelihood. I was working at Domino's at the time mine was stolen, and I had to find another car in a hurry.

Seems like EVERYBODY wants SUVs now.
So all the high end mfgrs sell them too.
Bentley, Lambo, Mercedes, Jaguar, etc

Heh, that’d be tough to get 4 people and equipment in one of those. I’ve sat in one and it’s seriously claustrophobic.

Lambo Urus:

Less than a minute under the van, less than 2 minutes total time on scene. Makes it hard to catch them in the act.

The lowest kind of scum anywhere. I love seeing the stories where the car falls on them.

Notice they even jacked up the van. That’s so brazen. Wonder if the plate on the Lambo was ever seen by any of the ubiquitous license plate cams in California.

We’re not quite there, yet. In the meantime you might enjoy this video. And note the maniacal laugh of the good guy with the baseball bat.
