I don't know about you, but I'm pretty happy when I find that I had $50 that I didn't know about. The concept of $5 billion dollars is beyond my math comprehension. That's the number that a car maker is reportedly investing in a Illinois plant.
Even though I do have some outlaw blood in me, I'd never recommend that you or anyone else break the law. However, if you really need to have your vehicle stolen, I have it on good information that you really should consider parking it in Missouri.
There are literally thousands of vehicles on Missouri roads right now that may have a dire steering wheel issue that could cause a high risk of crashing. That's led to an urgent recall issued by the federal government.
I drive a vehicle that is now 18 years old so it's not surprising my car is not on the list of the most stolen vehicles in Missouri, but there are 3 models that get ripped off from their owners more than any others.
Common sense will direct most people to not leave certain items in vehicles when Missouri temperatures plunge below zero like they have this weekend. But some things are obvious while others are not.
If you have a Tesla in Missouri or Illinois, you almost certainly need to talk to a dealer because the company has recalled nearly every vehicle they've ever sold today.
There are a lot of ways to steal unfortunately, but this is a new one. A violent trend that has already happened in Missouri involves thieves breaking into stores to steal by ramming vehicles through the front windows and there's video to prove it.
I would say that this is a good reminder to lock your car doors in Missouri and Illinois, but I'm not sure that would matter much as a new report says incidents in both states are exploding and especially in Illinois.
