Between December 20, 2006 and January 7, 2007 there have ten (10) catalytic converters removed from vehicles parked at four different locations within District II. The unknown suspects are removing the catalytic converters, possibly with a hacksaw. Witnesses have observed two black male suspects working together in several of the offenses. The suspects do not seem to be targeting a particular make of vehicle. They have removed the converters from Nissan, Chevrolet, Honda, Ford, Jeep, and GMC vehicles.

When I first read this I had a brain fart. For some reason (for a brief instint) I thought catalytic converters were Catalac Convertables and didn't know we had that many in this area. I'm getting so old. Then mother and I went to Joanne Fabrics and the people there were so helpful that we wanted to fill out a card to let their boss know. I filled out one for Evan and Bree, mother filled out one for "Joanne". That was the store name across the apron on Bree. She held up the line for a little while but everyone within hearing distance laughed hard and loud. This is true, I can't make this stuff up. It's hell getting old.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my eyes open for the Catalac Convertible (catalytic converters) thieves.
Very funny story, Seminole! Thanks for the laugh.
