This incident happened about 4 miles away from my home, in Bradford, West yorkshire.

Tragic, but at least they won't steal anymore cars

Oh my, what a shame.

Camus, did you hear this accident from your home?

 

[camusdarrach]

Not quite, but we could see the fireball from the gas explosion.
However, a good friend of ours, who is a Traffic Police officer, was involved in the incident, had been after this gang of youths for months, they (Unproven in a court of law) had been linked with the theft and joyride/crashing of at least 75 cars, before this incident occured, and just to empasise, the Police had only been following the car for less than a minute when the accident occured, it swerved to avoid a police roadblock which had been set up 8 minutes earlier.
We used to live in Laisterdyke, when we had a Subaru Impreza, that car was attempted to be stolen twice in the 5 months we lived there, and was vandalised once.
Its an area of high unemployment, and social depravation, for want of another word, its descended into a ghetto

Meh, good riddance. I feel sorry for the owner of Killinghall Fisheries.

Wow !! I guess it's like you said, they won't be stealing anymore cars. I hate that something so tragic had to happen and I feel bad for their families having to deal with such destructive behavior while they were alive and now dealing with their passing.

Glad no innocent bystanders were hurt or killed!

Yep, it was the best fish and chip shop for miles, was that one..............

They were well know for the blackboaard placed outside the shop showing "Frying tonite", bet it won't show that again.

Ditto. It seems around here the thieves get away and someone innocent always gets hurt or killed. A couple of months back a guy stole a Mercedes in the town next to mine. He hit a Honda Accord so hard that it was ripped in half killing a 10 year old girl and seriously injuring a 14 year old boy. Here is a link to that article:

The car thief was fine except for a few bumps and bruises...

Hello Camus and Squishy. My apology if this sounds cruel, but i don't have the time of day for social misfits. At least no bystanders were harmed. There was a time in my youth, when i thought karma was superstitious nonsense. Well it appears the car thieves self negativity reflected back upon them, and so henceforth they met their destiny.

That is definitely sad and tragic, about that young lass in new jersey. So that thieving scumbag only had minor injuries.
