"11:30 a.m.: Someone broke into her car and stole credit cards and her wallet on the 1500 block of Cole Lane."

Seriously??? This is hilarious! I almost count on reading about at least 1 idiot like this leaving their valuables in their car. I guess some people are too stupid to take even rudimentary precautions against being a victim of theft. People like this are definitely an indication that our gene pool is continuing to erode! I'm just glad that so far it seems to be confined to California. Guess there's a lot of non-branching family trees there! LOL
