The Long Arm of the Law

He’s doing it all wrong.

Israeli border police pursued and arrested a Palestinian man driving a stolen Israeli jeep on Sunday, the Israeli newspaper Maariv reported.

According to Maariv, the man was a high-ranking Palestinian police officer from the Barghouthi family, who had been wanted by Israel.

Amit Louzin, the director of a company named “Autoran,” which helped the police track the car electronically, said, “A new Mitsubishi Bajero jeep was stolen from Qisariya [in Israel] two weeks ago, just a few days after the owners received it from the company. It seems that robbers used a copy of the key, and that they knew the secret start-up code. Autoran knew that the jeep was taken to Ramallah, but the Israeli military did not allow the company to enter the West Bank and try to get the car back.”

Autoran continued to monitor the car and until last Thursday it was seen traveling from Ramallah towards a village near Israeli settlement of Ofra. The company alerted the border police who tracked down the jeep and arrested the driver.

    I have it in good authority that the case couldn’t have been solved without the use of the famous Jewish remotely piloted pigs (JRPPs or jerps as we call them in the business). When not used to terrorize innocent Palestinian farmers, the pigs stealthily track down innocent Palestinian car thieves. (You never heard this from me.)

  3. Yeah, Dave, you missed the funniest point with this “Bajero” business.

    And the company is, probably, Ituran. Whatever ;-)
