Car thefts --- a new trick

Here's a story from Wichita about two new trends that city's seeing in car thefts.

Of course thieves make off with cars when drivers leave them unlocked with the keys inside. But what about posing as the owner of somebody's else's car and having it towed to the junkyard, where you then pick up an easy $100 or so for selling it as scrap metal?

I kind of wish someone would do that to the circa-1991 Lumina with two flat tires that's been taking up space in my parking lot for months. The poor guy interviewed for this story lost a perfectly good Bimmer.
