Our vigilant asset forfeiture crime fighters are now knocking off armored cars in broad daylight
In the next sequel to Ocean's 11, state troopers will just camp out behind all the Vegas casinos and confiscate all the cash drop armored cars. Because, like, casinos are illegal in Utah
What part of "San Bernardino Sheriff's Department" did you miss?

If the FBI was interested in enforcing fed law, they'd be raiding/shutting down California dispensaries; instead they seem happy just fencing loot stolen from them.

It seems that a number of you also skipped over the whole "no one has been charged with a crime" part
unlike the typical backwater Pennsyltucky speed trap cops who shake down motorists at $200 a crack, you gotta hand it to the Berdoo county mounties for gaming out the big heist

Happy 136th birthday from #DavesCarIDService to the single greatest invention of all time: the car. Image
*the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, built by Carl Benz in 1885, patented Jan 29, 1886.

There is quibbling about what was the first car, and even the definition of car; self-propelled road vehicles date back to the 18th century, but Benz's patent car is widely accepted as Car Zero.
other contenders for the title: the Cugnot steam wagon (1769), used to tow artillery for the French army, and the Murdock steam carriage (1788), from England. By the 1830s there were a few dozen road steam carriages operating in England and Scotland. ImageImageImage

Today's episode of #DavesCarIDService is brought to you by the all-new 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk -- the car that's irresistible to clowns!
Despite the restyling of Raymond Loewy's immortal '53 Starlight design and innovative clown ad campaign, by 1956 Studebaker was in an inexorable slide to doom.

Then, somehow, in 1961, their ad men declared MOAR CLOWNS.

Studebaker died in 1963.
*Studebaker's South Bend plant closed in 1963 after making 1964 car models, and a limited run of '65s were made in Canada. Shame, because Studebaker made some quite beautiful cars, like the 1953 Starliner and 1963 Avanti, both by Raymond Loewy Associates. ImageImage

Fun fact: probably the main reason Tesla stock is valued so highly is that they're unencumbered by the century-old local dealer albatross that other car makers have wrapped around their necks.
Another fun fact: Teslas get serviced at Tesla-owned service locations, not Herm Shlobnik's Buick-Toyota-Tesla City

"Nice '56 TBird."

"Thank you."

"All in a day's work for #DavesCarIDService. ma'am."
That of course is Richard Dreyfuss and Suzanne Sommers from George Lucas's greatest film, American Graffiti. Dreyfuss is in a 1958 Edsel Corsair 4-door hardtop; unseen in the front seat are Ron Howard and Cindy Williams.

Due to today's late start I'll jump right into it, but please remember to tag your ID requests with #DavesCarIDService.
Let's kickoff with another edition of... Toddlers! Perched Precariously! On Cars!
