I guess that rules out vdub11 too!

What's funny is they stole 3 empty kegs first and went back and only took 1 keg. I guess a full keg was more than they could handle.

Cool link swift !!
It looks like me....and my car...luckily I have an alibi (working 260 miles away in dayton).

He had the backseat down and was ready for the heist.
An empty keg will get you 10-15$...

Who says bugs are girls cars, they are the new preferred thievery ride, nobody would expect it.

I dunno why they'd steal empty kegs, it's obvious when they're empty.

Can exchange them for ones filled with beer and avoid the deposit...i guess, lol.

people will steal anything and take any amount of money for it, especially if it's to help them buy drugs

yeah. i got my house at a deal because crackheads stole the plumbing in the basement.
i'd say about 15 bucks worth of copper. for the risk of spending atleast 4 years in prison.

i've been pulled over twice in my bug and i've only had it about 3 months. i thought i'd be inconspicuous(spelling) in it.lol

thought about spraying my car black with washable paint. and driving to gas stations in hempfield, where it happened.lol
