**The car was left running and unattended prior to the theft between 10 a.m. and midnight Wednesday.**
However it is believed that the car was low on fuel and the thief did not get out of Lawrence without robbing a gas station.

"when the car failed to stop at a stop sign at Evans Road."
OhRlY!?!
I hate it when my car takes over and start barking orders.

Then there's the 52-year-old man who was assaulted by a ballpoint-pen-wielding 33-year-old wife... Did she hold him down and draw a mustache on him? Devil horns?
She should be sentenced to 3 months in the corner, wearing a dunce cap. No access to writing utensils for another 6-months' probation period. But first she must write 1000 times (in crayon), "I will not scribble on Bubba again--even if he's hogging the clicker."

It's amazing that a woman would assault her husband that is 22 years older than her, since I'm sure the relationship was based on love. Yeah, right!

jaguar rage? wow, you'd think owning a car like that she had enough money to buy tranqs to stay calm when the little buggers get in her way

52 YO husband and 30 YO wwife. 1. might have been love actually in that marriage. she just likes to collect antiques. 2. please refrain from joking about woman on man violence...it is real and it is much harder for a man to report domestic violence than a woman. there are no shelters for battered men.
hope that couple works it out.
