Do Not Steal This Car

[showcase]

Wanted: Stolen car. Make and model: Ford Crown Victoria. Owner: D.C. police department.

Reported stolen by: Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey.

Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey's car was stolen while he was out of town at a conference.

So goes the saga of car theft in the District, where even the police chief's department-issued car can get swiped a block from his home.

"There is not a whole lot to add to it," Ramsey said. "The car was taken, and there was nothing of real value in it. Cars are getting stolen every day."

D.C. police officials said Ramsey's black unmarked car was stolen between Friday night and Sunday morning from a street in Southwest Washington.

I know crime in DC is supposed to be down, but if even the chief of police can't keep his car from being nabbed...

Who steals an unmaked LTD Crown Vic? Does anyone other than a federal, state, or municipal government actually drive those things? Who would you sell the parts to?

Oh well;I guess the thief gets a set of riot gear and a nice police radio for his troubles...
