What is with all the stolen vehicles these days? Don’t leave your keys in the car and don’t it there running people. Sounds like someone is trying to pull an insurance scam because you can’t really steal a car these days without the keys to it. Wear those masks officers!
If it’s that old Honda Civic that’s why it was so easy! They are the #1 cars stolen because they are easy to steal. Wouldn’t be an insurance scam because that cars only worth about $1000
They don’t mind stealing a families old car—down in Mexico they are thankful for low quality lifestyles! They bring they’re low standards back to the USA to take take take more from the assimilating taxpayers!! Keep taking in more 3rd world cretins & this becomes a way of imposed life for decent Americans!!
