  • Teen driving stolen dump truck

    Looking more like something out of the Grand Theft Auto series of videogames rather than real life, a 17-year old Ohio driver took police on a wild chase, smashing through local highways in a stolen dump truck. The teen managed to continue his rampage for a total of 52 miles, carrying two younger occupants with him for most of the chase. In the end four police cruises were smashed and countless civilian vehicles were damaged but thankfully no one was seriously injured. The chase finally came to an end when the teen drove the truck into a guardrail, either because he ran out of fuel or the...

  • 2011 Ford Mustang GT

    A Los Angeles publisher has gotten his stolen Mustang back--35 years later. Jack Klunder, president and publisher of the Los Angeles Daily News, had his 1966 Mustang stolen in 1974 while he was at basketball practice in a gym at Rio Hondo Junior College, where he was a student. Klunder's car was one of 60 stolen from the lot by a theft ring. The 18-year-old called his dad, who admitted that he hadn't purchased theft insurance. As time wore on, Klunder continued to purchase Mustangs, buying at least two for his then-teenage daughters. In fact, he was driving one of those cars--a black...
