Antiquated anti-theft
Posted on by Kolbe
Criminals these days seem to be staying on top of technology. You see a rise in cyber crimes, new inventive ways of stealing your identity, hackers, and scammers. It seems as the technology grows, the criminals grow with it. Well, luckily for seventy-year-old Seattle resident Nancy Fredrickson, they don’t seem to retain the knowledge and understanding of our older technology.
Nancy returned home from a day out shopping at garage sales to be greeted by three hooded males. One of which was brandishing a gun and demanding her car keys. Nancy is a black belt in martial arts, but she is no dummy. She tossed her keys on the ground and let the criminals take her car. The only issue for these would-be car thieves is that Nancy drives a standard, and these three guys did not. Nancy said they struggled to even turn the car on. After a minute or two of fumbling with the clutch and shifter, the three guys exited the car and took off running. The three have not been caught yet, but they were seen on a local surveillance camera and hopefully will be brought to justice before they can find an automatic car to steal.
