Low Life Steals Dead Guys C3 :(

[teamzr1]

Memphis Police have recovered a vintage C3 Corvette stolen from a dead man’s garage earlier this month.

“It’s pretty remarkable that we were able to not only find it, but find it in one piece,” Rick Tapio told WREG-TV reporter Shay Arthur, “because I figured it’d be all chopped up by now and headed out in a hundred different directions. We’re very grateful.”

Police say a neighbor had reported the theft of the late Frederick Hartkey’s 1976 Corvette from a Berclair Homes garage on Owen Road, off North Mendenhall Road in Memphis on Oct. 5.

“When it was stolen,” Tapio said, “we didn’t have high hopes to get it back.”

But Memphis Police did indeed find the car on Oct. 14 off Powell Avenue, less than three miles from where it was stolen. When officers arrived at the scene, 34-year-old Christopher Atkins and another man were in the middle of trying to steal a catalytic converter off a van there with a saw.
They also discovered a 2019 Dodge Ram pulling the trailer carrying the Corvette had been stolen from Marshall County, Mississippi.

When Atkins saw police, he immediately fled into a house, while still carrying the saw, court documents showed.
He was arrested after a brief foot chase and charged with theft of property $10,000-$60,000, theft of property $2,500-$10,000, and aggravated burglary.

A carjacking of a C7 Corvette Tuesday morning in Chicago ended with a fiery crash and the arrest of the alleged thief as he attempted to make his get-away from police.
According to Illinois State Police, the crash happened on the ramp from I-57 to the Bishop Ford Freeway as Country Club Hills police were chasing a 2015 Corvette that had been carjacked earlier Tuesday morning.

The Corvette headed onto the northbound lanes of I-57, then crashed and burst into flames in the grass next to the ramp from I-57 to the eastbound lanes of the Bishop Ford Freeway around 9:15 a.m.

Video from the scene posted on cbsnews.com shows the Chicago Fire Department dousing water on the Corvette, which can barely be recognized through the simmering smoke and extensive damage to the body.

Illinois State Police say the suspect driving the Corvette suffered minor injuries in the crash and was taken into custody.
They don’t think anyone else was involved in the crime.

Here is what happens when millions of wetbacks are allowed to illegally break across our border :-(

An episode of street racing in Las Vegas Nv on Monday night ended with an Arctic White C8 Corvette upside down next to a liquor store, one of its tires ripped off standing nearby and its front end virtually destroyed.

Reports say as many as six other vehicles may also have been involved in the crash, which left debris scattered a quarter-mile down the road and three vehicles with major damage
Las Vegas Metro Police Department blames the incident on a street race between the C8 and a Toyota Supra, with the cars believed to have been traveling more than 100 miles per hour in a 30 MPH speed zone before running a red light and crashing, leaving one person hospitalized.

So far, wetback 25-year-old Joshua Dayada driving the C8 is the only arrest, charged with reckless driving, participating in a speed contest, and disregard for the safety of a person and property.
Megan Streater, manager of a nearby store called Smokes Mart, told Fox5 News reporter Dani Masten she is still shaken up about the wreck, saying:

“It was just like an astronomical boom like a bomb went off and that is when all the power got cut, and then we only saw smoke outside our window and what I pieced together really quickly was like a bomb went off.
It didn’t sound like screeching or a collision, like classic car accident sounds. It was just a huge boom.”

The crash happened about 9 p.m. near the intersection of Ft. Apache and Flamingo roads, knocking out power to the area and destroying a bus stop and a fire hydrant. Other parked cars and utility poles were also hit.

Street racing has become a problem in Las Vegas, prompting the police department to organize RAID, or Racing Apprehension and Intervention Detail, a specialized team aimed at takeovers, street racing, and reckless driving in all forms.

Fatal crashes in Clark County have climbed 11 percent this year, according to a story in the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“The biggest influence on traffic deaths is omnipresence, us doing enforcement,” Sheriff Joe Lombardo said.
“Education, engineering, and enforcement, those are the three E’s in traffic.”

Since its inception in March, RAID has already made 119 arrests, handed out 144 citations, towed 149 vehicles, and seized 17 firearms.

“There are two guarantees that I want to put out there for you as the community,” Lombardo said.
“We are going to be relentless in our pursuits of these reckless drivers and takeovers in our intersections, and also we are going to do everything that we can to get intervention for those who need help.”

To those people who might think RAID is being too strict,

Lombardo says:

“But even in those situations, people say, ‘Oh, it’s just people having fun and venting, and drag racing.’
A lot of people get hurt in that space. And a lot of people get inconvenienced.
A lot of people’s constitutional right of freedom is affected.
You know, you have no right to take over somebody else’s free movement, and here they are taking over intersections, filming themselves.”

This what happens when clowns running this country and wetbacks by the millions (2 million over just last year) allowed to wetback over our border :-(

Or stole it

Whichever way you look at it the drivers must have been brain dead to do that. I don't care if they kill themselves but putting others at risk is just moronic.
