Most of us saw the thread about the burglers who robbed Michael and the follow up story but I’m afraid somebody one-upped those thieves. This story is actually two months old but it caught my attention because the kids came up for trial this week.

Their parents must be very proud. I know if I had pulled off a stunt like that when I was their age, I would probably still have trouble sitting down.
You can’t do that anymore; you’ll be arrested for child abuse. Sad day!
This is probably the reason why we now have teenagers joy riding locomotives. This wasn’t a problem back in the early 1970s when I was that age.
A friend of mine from high school started up a MOW unit that was parked on a siding. Drove it up and down the siding a few times and then re-parked it. He didn’t know he was committing a federal crime.
There was already numerous threads on this subject, FYI.
Who knows, maybe the will own BNSF some day.
Tom,
How do you do the clickable link. It used to happen automatically when I posted a link but now it doesn’t do that anymore. What’s the trick?

This story sounds a little like someone from my graduating class. Shortly after high school he joined the army where somehow he was able to steal a tank and joy ride a short rampage for a few miles. The army chased him but they didn’t have anything available that could contend with a tank so all they could do was follow. Luckily he didn’t do anything really stupid like attempt to fire with it and he surrendered before anyone was hurt or injured.
Hey, at least you can’t say that today’s teens have no interest in trains…,LOL
I think I saw that on wildest police chases.
