Traveling band of thieves? That steal late 80's chevy vans? Sounds like a high dollar group. Maybe they needed a van to tour in. I also had a guy leave a .32 revolver in my garage and come to my door wanting permission to go get it... What??? Traveling band of thieves? That steal late 80’s chevy vans?

Most of them are stolen by traveling professional bands of thieves. I don’t think auto theft has a lot to do with neighborhoods, though.

I guess those are the only stories that can get people to watch the news. How about if they would run a story about the children living in poverty in Johnson County is up <a href="http://www.kansascity.com/shawnee_mission/story/417090.html" rel="nofollow">92 PERCENT? </a? My guess is if it's getting worse in JoCo, then there are a lot of people all over the metro area who are living in poverty, but if you watched local TV, you would never know it - they are too busy reporting on Britney Spears.</a> You would think crime was WAY up the way the sleazy local TV news stations lead with shootings and stories of arrested perverts.
