The frickin car had snow on it, no way it went through the car wash. Great news source you have there. |
Ha...dollars to donuts the Mercedes was stolen as well. |
| Why is this news? |
They don't keep the car and use it to drive to their gainful employment. They steal to F with people. Keep up. |
| We had a bunch of car thefts in our MD neighborhood. The police very nicely explained to us all that the newer cars are basically impossible to Hotwire. So they are only stealing cars if you leave the keys in the car. It’s amazing that they can build a whole business off that but there you are. |
Yes but...there are a lot of non-newer cars as well. Lke ours that was stolen in DC. No key in ignition. |
| Is “BOLO” now a thing? Who are we BOLOing for? A description would be helpful. |
Um, the dude in the picture?

Mary Che's message is infuriating. is like the family that, 9 month into the pandemic, has a big party celebration and a few days later, gasping for air at the hospital, tells you in a video to be careful, social distance and weak a mark. yes you f-ing idiot I know there is a pandemic and I have been home since March and wear a mask when I have to go out.
this is the same. the lady left her car running with the keys inside to go inside a store. I don't need her to tell me that's a bad idea and that's why I have never done it. on a side note, what she did was not only stupid but really bad. she left her car on a lane of a major road in DC where there is no parking/stopping at any time. it is also the bus lane. so many times I was driving down in traffic and suddenly cars or the bus on the right lane need to merge into the next lane because some idiot left the car parked or stopped for a coffee or something. people used to do that also at the Starbuck up the street at CT and Livingston. just park your stupid car in a regular parking place and don't be an a$$hole |
| Not a bus lane except during rush hour. This was lunch time, I think. Yes, stupid but at least she admits she was stupid. |
| You think the insurance is going to pay out after she left the keys in? |
Yes. |
| In MD it's illegal to leave your car running while unattended, to cut down on auto theft. Not sure about DC. Why do people even do this? Is it so much effort to start your car again once you return? |

This hot take of "Mary deserved" to get her car stolen has got to stop. Who deserves to have a crime committed against them? No matter what your personal actions were that led to the crime. It is still a crime.
When an AU student gets murdered for wearing a Helly Hansen jacket on a metro platform, do we yell at them for deserving it? How about if a young man is killed for pumping gas late at night a block away? Did he deserve it? Do we really still live in the era of she dressed like she was asking for it? Come on DC. We are smarter than this...aren't we? |
If they’d jimmied the door and hot wired the car, it’s not on her. But that’s not what happened. This is completely on her. Apparently “we” aren’t smarter than this...are we? |
