    I hate that his life has come down to this he was very smart in school. Sad thing. I am glad the lady is safe, and sad that this happened to her.

    THINKING ABOUT:
    “Look for the car in a radius out of town of 400 miles.”

    Area is pi times square of the radius of the circle. 502,654+ square miles. Of course, it wouldn’t have to be quite that much area to search since you can eliminate any portion which includes the Gulf of Mexico. In fact you could restrict it to all routes which were up to 400 miles, so that would be less to, but not anywhere near as much as one would prefer. it would be nice if every car were capable of announcing it’s location via cell phone signal and GPS.

    maybe next year.

    Regardless, I can see why stolen cars aren’t always recovered.

    David for better people
    and monitoring the bad ones

    Now this guy is doing what ” INTERESTED” said..

    1….Reaching behind him
    2….Grabbing as hard as he can
    3….twisting with all his might
    4….holding on for dear life

    !. Reach behind you.
    2. Grab as hard a you can.
    3. Twist with all your might.

    If the guy is in front of you just do number 2 and 3.
    If you can’t do that jam your foot on his foot as hard as you can, but never
    get in the car with someone or let them force you in.

    This woman is lucky to be alive.
    He obviously took a car just after it was gassed, so he will abandon it
    when the gas in gone.
    Look for the car in a radius out of town of 400 miles.
