HI DOUG,

               NOT A GOOD WAY TO START OFF IN LIFE

               SOMETIMES PEOPLE CHANGE FOR THE BETTER, MOST GET WORSE..

               ONE OF MY CAR THEFT STORIES:

                                                                     A FEW YEARS AGO EDDIE GARCIA "THE BINGO KING" OF SAN ANTONIO HAD A USED SURBURBAN STOLEN. HE HAD JUST BOUGHT IT FROM A SERVING CONGRESSMAN. EDDIE'S WALLET WITH CASH AND CARDS WAS IN THE GLOVE BOX AS WAS THE POLITICOS' INSURANCE PAPERS. TWO DAYS LATER THE VEHICLE APPEARED AT HIS OFFICE WASHED AND POLISHED WITH ALL CONTENTS INTACT.

                                                                     POSSIBLY BECAUSE THEY REPORTEDLY HAD A BUSINESS ACQUAINTANCE WHO REPORTEDLY WORKED WITH THE MARCELLO BROTHERS OF NEW ORLEANS, WELL KNOWN TOMATO WHOLESALERS? THEIR LATE FRIEND, PEOPLE SAY, HAD SO MANY PERSONS STEP OUT OF HIS AIRPLANE OVER THE LOUISIANNA SWAMPS THAT THE RESIDENT ALLIGATORS KNEW THE TAIL NUMBERS!  
                                                                    ANOTHER BIT OF SOUTH TEXAS FOLKLORE!

                                                                    CIAO!

                                                                     DALE

Picture this - 1978, 3:00 a.m. on a school night.  I'm living in Novato, CA, about 35 miles north of Burlingame, just south of San Francisco. I get a call - do you own a tan '66 VW sedan?  yeah, (thru the haze) - did you loan it to anyone?  Uh, no, but I have a few questions for you - who is this, what time is it, and why are you asking?  This is the Burlingame police, it's 3:00 in the morning and we have your car here with four teenagers.  Call your local police and file a complaint - here are their names - blah, blah, blah, and Blah.

 

Novato police come - I tell them that blah, blah, and - - - - One officer interrupts me and gives me the other two names.  Hmmmmmm. 

 

Two 16 y/o girls, one 17 y/o male and one 18 y/o male.  They hot wired the car and were joy riding about.  Police said they stopped them for a "tail light" violation.  At the hearing - the fathers of the two girls were busy doing paper work (no cell phones or computers then) and hardly paid any attention to the proceedings.  The young male was not represented that I could see.  Later in S.F. court, the 18 male perp was shackled and trudged out - ordered to make restitution for damages (window and headliner) and time served.  I did get a check for the full amount.

 

The notorious little joy riders are now about 50 years old.  Wonder what ever happened to them - - wonder if they are alive?
