	BUSTED.... Car Theft Ring in Denver busted.... including those suspected of stealing the 1933 Ford coupe we featured here a few months ago .... Seven people were indicted by a Denver grand jury Tuesday and are accused of participating in a sophisticated car and insurance theft ring dating back three years. For Details...

And it’s just this last story and many we’re hearing like them that brings us to our next story. We had heard of GPS tracking devices that could be used to locate stolen cars, and then a few months ago we got the chance to try one out. The GPS Snitch is great ..... it’s a portable device that you can put in your vehicle when you need to .... so you can move it around to different vehicles... if the car moves when the device is set you will be emailed or a text message sent to your phone. Then it tracks the vehicle in real time and shows you where to find it.... This is awesome..... It’s unfortunate that we need such a thing but it seems the criminal world has discovered the collector car world and we’re seeing more cars stolen than ever before. With a device like this you know immediately that the car is gone and you can locate it quickly.... Take a look....




		We got an urgent alert from the Sema Action Network regarding a new proposal by our brilliant leaders in Washington .... It’s called “Cash for Clunkers” ... they want to encourage people to have their old cars crushed ..... and they have some ridiculous notion that this would bring needed dollars into the pockets of the citizens while “cleaning up” all those old “junkers” from the fields and yards of America. We need to contact Nancy Pelosi IMMEDIATELY so be sure this is not put in any citizen “bail out” proposal ..... Click here for all of the details.
