Porsche stolen is not big news, now if it was Honda Civic it would be newsworthy.

I had my car stolen in Reno. The cops told me 150 years ago they would hang a horse thief.

Actually since it was stolen off the lot of the dealership, they may be responsible since the car was under their care at the time.

A guy makes a couple mill a year, nice mind you, but he brings home a million after taxes, etc and 200,000 of it goes to a car. When will these guys learn? Please give him Iverson's # please. That is if Iversons cell phone hasn't been cut off yet.
