I learned quickly how to take care of myself. I hate to be surprised and I hate to be snuck up on so I am always aware---force of habit I guess.. The problem is---noone is perfect--anyone one of us could be a victim at any time no matter how careful we are.

Thanks Sgt Paul. That is great info to have and very good for women to know.

It just blows my mind... to think what one person can do to another.. and for what? A 10 min joy ride? Makes me sick.. I think the PD did an awesome job. Yay for them..

Thank you Lori for shareing this with us. At least we can learn from this. Maybe keeping a better eye on the guy next to us. Looking all around. It's a sad time....

Again.. Thank you Lori..

And to our fellow Vette friend..

It always is a shame that this type of thing hits us. We need to get back to basics and add a couple more Rs to schooling. It was reading riting and rithmatic. It should have started with.. Responsibility and Respect.
I have always been an advocate of criminals losing their rights when they abuse them after convicted of course. It is amazing that criminals use the system so often that they are very knowledable to its holes. Sorry I rambled.

I live in LA also and have always left space in front at stops, for the same reason.

man i hate hearing stories like that.. i couldnt imagine somebody doin that to my father or i drivin down then road.. thats why my trusty ole 45ACP always rides shotty i wont hesitate to use it either..
hopefully they hang that a**hole.. if it were up to me, all states would bring back the firing squad... a couple 13cent bullets are easier on my hard earned tax dollars than a 500,000$ lethal injection..

Saw the car and I do believe it was a Z06. It was a MY FRC with Z06 wheels and rear side brake ducts, at least.

Very sad case! I'm all for concealed carrying, but I'm not sure the outcome of this would have been any different had the victim been armed.

I always carry a gun, as is my right, so I have a chance to defend myself against something such as this. Too bad this man couldn't have shot his attacker instead.
