Was Your First Date A Carjacking-good Time?

August 5, 2009

HeadlightsIs this one of your first date nightmares? You’re a 16 year old girl and up roles a 17 year old boy in a black Chrysler 300. You think, “Cool!” So you drive around and end up at a church, hang out and talk for a bit, next thing you know, the police are knocking on your window asking the boy where he got the car.

Alameda County Sheriffs got a call about a carjacking that happened in Castro Valley on July 19th. A Pleasanton man had reported that while at the Hacienda Crossings shopping center in Dublin, a young man pulled a gun and carjacked the Chrysler 300. Later, the Sheriff’s came across the vehicle parked at a local church with a boy and girl seated in the vehicle. The Sheriff’s ran the VIN number and established that it was the actual vehicle that was reported stolen. The boy fit the description given by the Pleasonton man.

Needless to say, the boy is now in Juvenile Hall and the girl was released, hopefully smarter now and will not be pursuaded to a date with a 17 year old boy driving a $35,000 car.

    I bet this girl will be thanking her lucky stars this mistake happened when she was under 18. That’s serious stuff still though.

    No kidding {pun intended} (Good to hear from you Matt, it’s been awhile).
