In MD its illegal to leave your car running unattended. To help curb some of it we writie tickets ($50) to anyone we have to take a theft report from who left the car running unattended. Kinda sucks, but I guess if we have to waste time taking the report and hunting it down and possibly chasing it, then they deserve it. Last one I took, the woman ran into a busy quickie mart to get a news paper and coffee at 7:30 am. Even with a ton of people around a crack head jumped in her car and we found him within 2 minutes. After about 15 minutes of high speed pursuit the S.O.B. tried to cut through the median of the bypass and flipped the Mercedz Benz about 6 times and was ejected. Talk about a death rattle, he had it for about 2 minutes then, out of service. EMS couldn't do anything for him. She was terrified of the totaled Mercedz Benz, but was disturbed that she got the ticket too. I told her to take it to court, since its departmental policy to write it. The judge knocked the points off, but made her pay the fine. He told her that he felt she paid the ultimate price for careless disregard of her property, but she also endangered other people and property.
