I don't understand why anyone would be heartless enough to do this. Statistics are showing that dog thefts in Illinois are skyrocketing and there's no good reason why.
If you suddenly see the number of carjackings start to decline in Illinois, I know why. The Illinois State Police have spent the past several months bringing the hammer down on those who steal vehicles and the results of their operation are impressive.
I drive a vehicle that is now 18 years old so it's not surprising my car is not on the list of the most stolen vehicles in Missouri, but there are 3 models that get ripped off from their owners more than any others.
If you think you're safe in Missouri just because you have a hi-tech security system, think again. Reports say gangs are now using their own elicit technology to scramble home security systems so they can break into expensive homes.
The iconic image of a police officer chomping down on a sugar-filled donut is a classic portrayal of the typical law enforcement stereotype. One Illinois Police Department decided to live up to the saying, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
It rarely ends well when you decide to become a thief even if you're a Star Wars fan. That decision now has an Illinois man headed to prison thanks to his love of Star Wars and pajamas.
