Lock your doors at the pump

Now I have never stolen anything, except for some candys when I was a kid but stealing(borrowing) a police car.....I must admit that that sounds cool. Of course without hurting somebody, just wait till the officer is in a donutshop.

I always wanted to race in a police car and with the lights on of course.

Hmmm ... looks like it would be better if you stayed on topic next time, because I think you probably just insulted a few LEOs here on the board (and on the thread).

Ow but I did not mean it that way.

Hope everybody understands, I wouldnt like police cars if I didnt like the police.

In fact I wanted to join the police too but couldnt thats why it is still facinating me.

It is obvious that I said something very wrong but can somebody please send me a PM and let me know so I can learn from it?

Didnt mean anything bad to say, I am sorry.

I guess I should tell her that not all of us LEO's like donuts..I can't eat them cause there is something in the fat they fry them in tears me up inside..

No harm, no foul..It's a common misconception..

Sound advice. Thanks for sharing the video.

I always keep a copy of my insurance in my wallet (original is at home) rather than the glove box. I also have my glove box locked - sometimes its a hassle but worth the effort, in my opinion.

Last month one of our officers ignored the warning signs and almost had his car jacked my some POS "gang-banger" with a pistol..He got hit in the head with the weapon but stood his ground and the attacker fled..NOW, he wants me to recommend an MA school near him...

I think you could give him a recommendation to start at yellow belt, too--sounds like he just passed the first test.

Whoa, the thief in that vid was fast!

Well it IS the slow ones that get caught.

Thanks for posting that!! Certainly alot of great tips!! While I haven't heard of anything like that happening in my area...at least I don't think so anyways...but the keys in the ignition while its running, happens all the time. The first thing out of their mouth is, "Well, I was only inside for a minute." Ummm..yeah, and thats all it takes for someone to steal your car too!

Yep, and one (or more) of the kids might be in the car too.

Excellent tactic; using the owner's vehicle as a screen to block out what they're doing.
Pretty sad commentary that this is one of the newer ways for theives to get to what belongs rightfully to us. It's an ever increasing battle to outwit one another.

Nope, he starts at White Belt..He hasn't done ANY kind of training since his academy 19 years ago..He got lucky...

Awwww, C'mon Drac. He's got the 'rootedness' part down at least. All kidding aside, tho, glad he came out OK. Could have been ugly.

Thanks, that's something I hadn't been looking out for.

This so makes me wanna buy a purse, rig a paint grenade up in it and leave it on the seat for some *******.

Every year, we get reports of cars stolen because someone was "just running inside for a second" and they didn't want the interior to get hot/cold... Every year, some of those include a kid or two in the back seat. Often, the thief had no idea that there was a kid in the car until they get a few blocks away. Sometimes farther, if it's a baby/toddler who's asleep.

When I was in patrol, I used to walk up to the people getting their coffee, and tell them how I hated taking stolen vehicle reports that start "I left it unlocked when I went in for coffee..."
