Second vehicle-theft report we’ve received today. This one’s from Ryan:
Ford F-350 stolen last night after 2 am off Beach Drive near Me-Kwa-Mooks. It has a utility rack and an 8-inch lift. WA plate C99304T.
Call 911 if you see it.
Looks like the hit and run mentioned today (11/27) in highland park was your truck.
Sadly we need to imprison those who repeatedly steal. Its not a crime of opportunity its a crime for thrill. Its another type of addiction on its own and often a coexisting condition. Car theft up 14%??!! That’s ridiculous especially when they know most of the thieves who do this. How long before people start using their 2nd Amendment rights to protect their property? How many thieves will still come to or steal in WS once people start exercising that??!!
You don’t have the right to shoot (or otherwise physically harm) someone who’s stealing your property unless your personal safety is threatened at the time (say, it’s a carjacking).
