Nice to see a post from another instead of Peabody’s running mouth. Thank you.
Ha ha ha. Another stolen Honda. Come to Centralia and steal with impunity all the Honda’s you like. Nothing will be done to stop you either. We might as well purchase a billboard and place it along I-5 so we can get our auto theft rate to match Chicago’s crime statistics. Come to Centralia, the Honda theft capitol of the state. No body cameras no dash cameras and plenty of fluoride for the whole crime syndicate. We wouldn’t want your teeth to go bad while smoking meth, now would we?
Remember when they hung a horse thief?
