This city along the Rio Grande is on the verge of becoming the stolen-car capital of the U.S., according to data set for released that underscore how drug cartels are helping make the U.S.-Mexico border region a hot spot for vehicle thieves. The National Insurance Crime Bureau, a nonprofit body that collects law enforcement reports, said 1,960 vehicles were reported stolen in the Laredo metropolitan area last year, an increase of more than 47% since 2005, when Laredo ranked 32nd nationally. That comes to 827 thefts per 100,000 people, putting Laredo just behind No. 1 Modesto, Calif. I guess there is an alternative route to everything in life. In this case if you can't afford a vehicle then just walk around one, smash a few windows, and drive it away. Ahhhh if only it was that easy i bet the majority of the population will be driving the car that they want, not what they need or can afford; unfortunately the end result if caught is not pretty but hey sometimes risk pays and sometimes it doesn't. I guess you can look at it like the stock market.
