said by hdman:On the serious side, I agree, these dopes do need the book thrown at them. WHO in their right mind would steal a truck while the basket is extended? Doesn't that make the getaway rather difficult?
The one question I have is, did they hotwire the vehicle, in which case, how could the tech not see them? Or...if they didn't hotwire, why were the keys in the ignition? No, they don't need to be there to run the basket...trust me.
That's an easy getaway. Just drive under a bridge. If you are reckless enough to drive the poor charter employee through the power lines, you may as well smash him into a bridge.
