stolen vehicles

This isn't just a stolen vehicle story out of Amarillo, TX no sir!  This is about a stolen auto ring!  A conglomerate of stolen vehicles, auto burglaries and narcotics!

An 18 year old girl lead the Amarillo Police on a stolen vehicle police chase yesterday that ended in a blown tire and wreck. The vehicle was warming up in the owner's driveway on the 2000 block of S Fairfield in Amarillo, when the female decided it was the perfect time for a joyride.  Why can't a person just let their car warm up in their own driveway without worrying about somebody stealing it?
