    These are stolen cars, as opposed to burglurized cars. This is why they advise not to leave your auto running and unlocked.

    It's actually funny because….. The cops won't do anything even if u tell them the persons name and where they live. Fucking cops in paso are wothrless… And they wonder why all the food people move away.

    I am surprised we have not been alerted before this with such a large number of vehicles in a small town be stolen. My moms neighbor had their Toyota truck stolen and so did a friend of a friend in Paso. Seems like Toyota trucks are a vehicle they are after.

    Were these in a particular section of town?

    Remember that plumber's truck ended at the hands of ISIS? It was a Toyota truck, they appear to like those. The FBI should get involved on this one.

    Maybe if the attempted break in of my truck had been investigated, there wouldn't have been the other crimes. I know I could have helped catch the guy.

    They used to hang Horse Thieves, and they never had even one repeat offender!
