Maserati-driving suspects fail to steal catalytic converter in Berkeley, threaten witness with guns by Harry Harris
BERKELEY — Two men driving a Maserati SUV failed to steal a catalytic converter from a vehicle Thursday morning and pointed guns at a man walking his dog before fleeing, police said.
Normally I don't post anything about everyday crime because that's just what it is - everyday kind of bullshit, but this one got my attention. There are more rich people than ever before, and they are richer than ever, and they go through luxury goods like Jackie Chan through an army of thugs. Some, possibly even most, rich people are prudent and take care of their material possessions, but some, especially the nouveau rich, are profligate. They cast off valuable goods as fast they acquire them and when that happens there are scavengers just waiting to swoop in and scarf it up. So, yeah, I can see how a couple of talented thieves could manage to latch onto a Maserati. Doubtful that they will have it for long, longevity is probably not a big concern with people who are looking to make their daily quota on $100 transactions.
