I wouldn't have minded anyone stealing my '89 Ford Ranger. Problem is, the police would have tracked it down by following the leaking fluids trail. Oh, I see my '99 Taurus made it to #9 nationwide.

Interesting that the "most popular to steal" vehicle in WV is a 21 year old truck. But, then again, I suppose there are so many of them in WV that those which are stolen would simply blend in, so to speak.

Do they steal those trucks WITH the cinder blocks under the axles?

In MackDowell County, the cinder blocks are usually worth more than the vehicle.
