Top Ten Auto-Theft Cities 2007


9. Yakima, WA


Ranked by the rate of vehicle thefts reported per 100,000 people based on the 2007 U.S. Census Population Estimates.
Source: National Insurance Crime Bureau.

What the Hell is going on in Yakima?

But that's surely good for the Newark Chamber of Commerce...the dense population keeps them off some of the lists.

Really? I never knew that.

He's agnostic too; so does he ponder the existence of dog?

perhaps.....

......he did like the joke about the dog having no nose


Bob Weir also (or at least used to) consumes only a raw diet. A friend of mine worked at the Memorial in Burlington back in the 90's. Ratdog came to town and I helped him out to get free tickets. One of things I had to do was go across the street to the juice bar for 6 pints of carrot juice. They were all for Bob and the raw diet thing was explained to me.

Did he/she get caught?

No. My mother was actually driving (I was visiting and it was her car). Guy steps into the road in front of us at a red light with big shiny gun. Tells us to get the f out and the takes off. They found her car with the keys in it a few weeks later and a full tank of gas. She was a little bummed because she was just about to get a check from the insurance co.

A human can fold a normal piece of paper over onto itself no more than seven times. Try It!

Man, that kinda sucks all around, but at least nobody was physically hurt. Consolation in that he's likely in jail for something else.
