Would you believe "wrongful death"?

Blamed the death on the car being uncontrollable.. case was thrown out and they got owned in a counter suit.

Knowing they attempted to sue for wrongful death.. and the car was stolen by the guy being sued over..

Yes. I kid you not. These people were born paralyzed from the neck up..if you catch my drift. Goes to show you stupidity can, and most likely does know no bounds. What I want to know is if they were all blond..?

Nope, just vandalized a few times. I'm paranoid now and park in Tim-buck-too when going out and NEVER leave it outside at night. The new SS will be garage kept at all times. If my new ride is ever stolen----please don't return it!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother just had his 2003 Impala kinda stolen 2 days ago. He was driving on a dead battery and the car died while he was driving in town so he pulled into the nearest place which was a convenience store. Now my dad is a cop and my brother called him to see if he can come there and pick him up and take him home. While he was waiting, my brother went inside to get a bottle of water leaving the keys in the car, hey it was dead right so no way someone could steal it right. While he was inside a guy jumped in the car, got it to start and drove off. Seeing the guy drive off my brother called my dad again and told him some guy just drove off with his car. The guy got to the next red light which is about 500 feet from the store before the car died again. He sat in there for a a minute or two trying to get the car to turn over again. My dad comes to the same intersection, sees my brothers car with the guy still in it, pulls up behind the car, and walks up to the car and arrests the guy for car theft.

We had a 1980 something Buick Skyhawk that was stolen. The car was a piece of crap and constantly overheated. My brother and his girlfriend had just gotten back from prom and we were all hanging out at her parents house. We decided to take the Sebring convertible that they had rented out for a cruise. When we got back we noticed the car was gone and the guy who stole it had left his bike. The car was found a few days later completely burned. If you ask, we got the better end of the deal because we ended up with his bike.

I also had my 90 GMC broken into, but luckily I had a kill switch on it. Ended up selling it to buy a 94 Camaro. About a year later to the date, they broke into my Camaro (WHILE I WAS IN CHURCH!!!). Pretty crazy.

This one was wild. About five years ago a co-worker drove a maroon Saturn SC1 (I think that's what it was called). Well when he went to leave for work his keys wouldn't work. It wasn't his car! I noticed it because I walked around the front and the front end was all smashed up.

Somebody had stole another Saturn, exactly like his, came to our work, stole his and parked the first stolen one in the same spot......to this day we still don't know why, and they never found his car.
