A pack of young punks allegedly turned the Bay Area into their personal smash-and-grab playground, hitting 77 homes and vehicles, ripping off power tools and guns, while using stolen rides to fuel the crime spree.
The four juveniles were blamed for 37 burglaries in Concord and roughly 40 more in other cities across Contra Costa and Solano counties, authorities said. Their alleged MO was simple and brazen: hit cars in the early-morning hours, grab garage-door openers and use them to get inside homes’ garages looking for more loot.
But the crew allegedly escalated from property crime to a far more chilling threat. In May, surveillance video caught armed suspects pointing a gun at the door between a garage and the home, apparently anticipating that someone inside might come out.

“Their alleged MO was simple and brazen: hit cars in the early-morning hours, grab garage-door openers and use them to get inside homes’ garages looking for more loot.”
Are people really THAT DUMB as to leave the ‘key’ to their garage door sitting out in their car, likely in view?
Oh yeah, we’re talking the Bay Area.

The word zany is an adjective and a noun that describes something or someone amusingly wacky, crazy, or eccentric in a fun way. This was criminal. Hope you don’t have any “zany” kids.

Yes, it is retardedly common here.
when I got in my house and was handed three of those, I tossed them in the house and got fob sized ones for my key chain, for this exact reason.

An insurance agent friend and I were talking about a wave of recent car thefts that happened in what were low-crime areas. He said that the majority of the thefts happened because the car was left unlocked with the key fob in the car. So yes, people are that dumb (or trusting, really).

Come to Florida kiddies. My garage has two 100-pound Coonhounds in it. Just waiting. They eat lunch at all hours of the early morning. I hope y’all come down my street. I just hope.

Pictures of the “young punks” have been brought to you by the Equity Camera. The Equity Camera has been blurring, obscuring, and lightening the features of “teens,” people acting “randomly,” future sports stars, and aspiring rap artists since 2015.

Well, you gotta keep 'em separated.
But they only do it because they have low self esteem.

Some people forget the sarcasm tag because it is obvious.
Unfortunately, there are those who can’t recognize it.
