Great job Havre DeGrace, Aberdeen and Transportation Authority Police. I know Jeff Gahler would love to take credit for this but this was just good police work, no Jeff G.
Just the facts says
People who leave their vehicle running unattended deserve to have it stolen.
harford county constitutionalist says
That is like saying those who go out at night deserve to be beaten or raped. More likely yes, deserve no.
Just the facts says
You are an idiot, it’s illegal to leave a car running unattended, it’s perfectly legal to go out at night. Morons like yourself that call them selves “consitutionalists” really should STFU.
Fed Up with Nanny State says
Where have we gotten as a state when it’s illegal to warm up your car because some piece of human debris might come up and steal it.
Not all that smart in some areas, but such an activity should never be illegal. To state that they deserve to have their car stolen is equally ignorant. You should run for State Delegate.
Just the facts says
You”re right I should run, I love helping people challenged by the stupid things in life.
Freddy says
You can warm it up, just lock it. It’s leaving a car running and unsecured that’s illegal.
And don’t assume that just because you have a push button start that someone can’t drive off in your car if the fob isn’t inside it. My wife left the house this morning and don’t realize she’d left her keys on the counter until she’d driven a couple miles down the road and noticed the dash flashing a warning saying no key detected. I have no idea if it would’ve eventually shut off or if there was some sort of computer glitch, but not having the key with her didn’t stop her from putting the car in drive and leaving.

It will keep driving Freddy until you stop, then it wont turn on because key is not present.

Looks like another case of Gahler envy going on here. Stand back. Snowflake in need of safe place above.

I’m sure these fine outstanding you people , were merely taking shelter from the cold and were safe guarding the vehicles for the owners. And if I had a son and daughter, they would look just like me..

What is itwh the weird expression on the face of the gentleman on the right?
SoulCrusher says
Were the incidents completely separate or were they working together in some sort of car theft ring?
A Realist says
I think Freddy is full of it!!!
