For years I've been telling people we were carjacked by the world's stupidist criminals. Now, I'm not so sure.

I may not be the only person ever carjacked for a Hyundai, but I'm sure I was the only one carjacked for one where the carjackers thought it was a BMW.

One of the two was in the Navy. He's spending 39 years in jail in Raleigh and then there will be two MP's standing there waiting to take him off for his trial on AWOL charges.

The other one got his lawyer (who has now been disbarred) to give him the address of my girlfriend (now wife) and he wrote her a letter, apologizing and claiming innocence. It was a 7 page rambling mess. He's also sitting there for 39 years.

The night before they carjacked us, they grabbed some other guy from in front of an adult book store off U.S. Highway 1 (the busiest road in Raleigh basically) and jumped in the guy's car. (An 85 Toyota Celica) The guy in the back started getting everything. Wallet, money and then he told the guy to strip. The guy in the back suddenly realized that they weren't moving. So, he yelled to the other guy "GO!!!" The other guy said "I can't. It's a stick." They did the Chinese fire drill and then took off. They stripped the guy down naked, showed him his driver's license and said "We know where you live. If you tell anyone this happened, we'll come to your house and kill you." Then proceeded to deposit him, butt-naked, in the middle of U.S. 1. As if a naked man in the middle of the busiest road in the earliest part of the evening, wouldn't get the attention of the authorities and he wouldn't tell them WHY he was standing there naked.

When they were arrested, they were pulled over in a little country town in Eastern NC (as they were driving back roads back to Norfolk so one of them could get his dishonorable discharge from the Navy) they pulled into a driveway. Two doors down from the cop. They were told to stay in the car. The cop waited for backup. After 15 minutes of planning their alibi, they had the cop approach and ask if they knew they were in a stolen car. The brain surgeons responded with the best they could come up with. "We didn't steal the car officer, we bought it for drugs."

This guy is threatening to displace them as world's dumbest criminals.
