Gas mileage - theft deterrent?

California Mustang thief runs of out gas during police chase, killed by oncoming traffic: report | Fox News

I have mixed emotions posting this. A home invasion - terrible and unfortunately more common today. The gas mileage of our cars is not why you buy them. And finally a life lost, but if you start stuff you may have stuff to deal with.

Do stupid things, win stupid prizes.

No sympathy here.

So the problem was started & ended by the same person. Feel bad for the ones stuck in traffic because of it.

Who my heart goes out to are the people that hit the driver. It's something that will live with them forever. Horrible.

I am sure the now "victims" family will go after the Shelby owner because it ran out of gas, and the driver of the car that hit and killed him. Since it happened in Cali I am sure a judge would even hear the case.

There’s a duplicate thread to this, but that’s exactly what I said (happened to a friend) …

Instant Karma.

I have no sympathy for the thief. At all. I’ve experienced a similar incident ie 4 of these parasites broke into my home and demanded the keys to my M4 ‘… and you won’t get hurt’ They didn’t get the keys or the M4 but if they had and died as a result I would be shitting in their graves.

You simply said no and they left or was a firearm involved?

On the bright side, saved the cost of a trial, & housing him in jail.

@Epiphany - I was upstairs asleep when they broke in. The house alarm woke me up and I’d made it to the top of the stairs before one of them started to make his way up and shouted for the keys - give us your keys and you won’t get hurt - I told them that ‘if they wanted the keys then come and fucking get them’. I’m guessing they decided that as they weren’t going to get the keys handed to them and the house alarm was blaring it would be prudent to disappear before the police arrived.
