Wanted: Stolen car. Make and model: Ford Crown Victoria. Owner: D.C. police department.
Reported stolen by: Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey.
So goes the saga of car theft in the District, where even the police chief's department-issued car can get swiped a block from his home.
"There is not a whole lot to add to it," Ramsey said. "The car was taken, and there was nothing of real value in it. Cars are getting stolen every day."
D.C. police officials said Ramsey's black unmarked car was stolen between Friday night and Sunday morning from a street in Southwest Washington. It had been left there Friday by a member of the force's motor pool so Ramsey would have it when he returned from a one-week trip to a counter-terrorism conference in Scotland.
Ramsey arrived home early Sunday. When he awoke to go to church later that morning, he couldn't find the black Crown Victoria, and he and his wife went to church in her personal car, he said.
The chief said initially he thought there was simply a misunderstanding about where the motor pool officer had left the car. But yesterday morning, after another fruitless search for the vehicle, he concluded that it had been stolen.
Police officials said they do not believe the thieves knew they were taking the police chief's car. No weapons were left in the Crown Victoria, but it was equipped with a police radio. Its trunk contained a large duffle bag filled with some of the chief's riot gear, police said. {snip}

LOL !
Everyone keep an eye out for Ackroyd and Belushi, aka The Blues Brothers!
Again??? Wasn't it stolen 2 or 3 weeks ago...
Last week.
Welcome to what happens when people don't run searches and post articles blindly.
Indeed!
Last week. First I heard of it, however.
I searched - found nothing.
But thanks for your continued support.
Lots of 'democrats' in the DC District.
"Its got a cop motor, a 440 cubic-inch plant. Its got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. Its a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?"
I think it was repossessed.
Ah, this brings back memories of D.C. What a dump!
