"Joshua S. Clasby, 25, of Greenup remains in critical condition at Carle Foundation Hospital, Urbana."

Now that's a shame, too bad the car didn't take him with it to the grave.

This is one of those times when despite knowing that it is theoretically wrong to think this way, one can't help it. At least I can't help thinking that what happened to the car was a bigger tragedy than what happened to this individual.

Of course I'm one of those people who thinks it should be legal to install a 5,000 volt "inverse kill switch" in my car, because quite frankly I value it more than I value the life of a scumbag who tries to steal it.

5,000 volt "inverse kill switch" in my car,

You reminded me that my brother when he was young hooked up a model T capacitor to the passenger seat of his 54 ford. He used to shock his girlfriends with this. My sister wanted to borrow his car to shock her friends but he moved it to the drivers side.

Needless to say, he is still a bachelor because none of the old girlfriends would go out with him and sister wouldn't introduce him to any more.

I think the old capacitors were close to 5,000 volts.

I couldn't agree more.

I value it more than I value the life of a scumbag who tries to steal it.

I'm gonna use that next time I'm trying to 'splain to some doodoo-head why I would shoot a burglar, car-thief, etc.
