Thieves use classy car to steal classy computers

WBNS 10TV _ Burglars Crash Into Apple Store - WBNS-10TV, Central Ohio_s News Leader.jpgSure, a beat up Pinto might work for your run of the mill electronics thief, but when you’re stealing thousands of dollars worth of Apple products, you better smash through that store window in style.

Such was the case in Columbus, Ohio where two men used a Lexus, yes, a Lexus to smash through the window of an Apple store before making out with what must have been a hefty amount of Apple goods.

Police tried to stop the burglars from escaping with a trunk full of stolen Apple goodness, but the upper-scale thieves elegantly sideswiped a police cruiser, prompting the cops to resort to ass-capping measures. Nevertheless, the bullet-dodging Mac-jackers escaped and are now on the loose.

Now my question to you, dear readers: If you use a Lexus to rob an Apple store, what do you use to rob a RadioShack? I’m thinking 60’s era VW van?

Lexus "classy car"? Hardly in my book-it is just an expensive Toyota.
Now, if they drove an Aston Martin, or an M6 (or similar automobile) then you'll know they have "classy" tastes.
Just my (humble) opinion.

I'd use any GM or Ford F series trucks, SUVs since they are not worth anything these days.
