Other than the chopper flying around for an hour or so at 1am I slept well. I guess the cops were tracking a stolen car or something.

I wonder if the rest of the world is having the car stealing epidemic we're having here? When I drive to the next town which is about 20 minutes away it's usual to pass 3 or 4 burnt out cars these days. A few years ago I'd only see 1 or 2 a year.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a stolen car.

Hard to miss them here, they're the pile of rusted metal and melted plastic on the outskirts of town. The kids steal them then live stream themselves doing burnouts or baiting the cops into chasing them. Then they set fire to them when they've finished playing.

I think I have seen maybe half dozen burnt out cars and 1 burnt out truck in the last 50 years.... and those were all car fires along a highway....

We had an incident of that happening locally once. I can't say its something we often witness.

In the UK I've only seen two or three burnt out, what a mess, and a couple of police chases. That was in cities.

Where i am now i get annoyed with driver stopping outside the house and leaving their engine running (often with the drivers door left open) while they pop into the shop for something.

Had a young woman do that at a college I worked in security at. I was not on the night this occured, but she already had a restraining order against an ex-boyfriend and retuned to the college, left her car running and her drivers door open while she went in to get things she forgot. She was gone, I was told about 20 minutes. The ex must have been stocking her, because while she was in the college, he climbed in the back seat and waited for her. She came back, and when she shut the door, he attacked her..... He did end up in jail, but it was after the attack and after the police showed up. The security officer on campus was apparently not patrolling like he should have been. I believe he was fired, deservedly so

It was like that here not so long ago. Everything changed in a couple of years.

Who moved ino the area a couple of years ago?

Cars with electronic locks that are ridiculously easy to steal. Apparently you can buy a dongle thingy on ebay for $100 that will open and start them.

And stupid laws where the cops have to release juvenile offenders.
