Auto thefts on the rise in St. Petersburg - St. Petersburg Times
ST. PETERSBURG — The detectives of the St. Petersburg Police Department's auto theft unit are adults playing a kid's game.
First they play hide and seek with stolen vehicles. Then it's tag as they investigate, track and arrest those blamed for most thefts: teen boys.
The most prolific know how to boost a car in seconds, then do it again and again with their friends. A few joyriding kids can commit dozens of thefts in days.
"You try to talk to them, you ask them why they do it," said Detective Michele Bland, "and they just think it's fun and games."

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
