Dipshit of the week: Meth-head steals car, paints it with house paint
Once again, no link, sorry...
On Friday, one Esiquio deLeon, Jr., of Ephrata, Wash., was sent up the river for a year and a half. How he got there: In May, Mr. DeLeon stole a Toyota. He then pried off the Toyota emblem, painted the car with white house paint and removed the rear license plate - but not the front one - to conceal it from the owner and the police. He then went shopping. He parked the car in the store's employee parking lot and went inside. The store's employees noticed Mr. deLeon was wearing pants with white paint splatter on them and the paint on the car was still wet, and called the cops. He agreed to let the cops search the car. In it were the paint, the brush, the license plate and the bump key he used to steal the car in the first place. In his front pocket was some meth, in his back pocket was the Toyota emblem.
I swear. Some people's children.

a pal of mine bought a huge '57 or '58 Lincoln that had been painted Pepto-pink using a brush and house paint. I think he paid $100 for it. It ran for an entire MN winter, and the trunk was big enough to hold at least five 16-gallon beer kegs.
In homage to the Commander Cody song we always razzed him with "My pappy said son, you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop drivin' that Stinkin' Pink Lincoln." Those were the days.
