Man Stolen 26 Cars To See Girlfriend
A person in love does whatever they can to see their significant other-even if it means stealing dozens of cars to visit their girlfriend. Antonio Moreno of Los Angeles stole 26 cars to see his girlfriend, police says, as he takes a random car drive over to the girlfriend’s house.
Moreno, 31, were arrested close to his Inglewood home on Wednesday when he was found in a 1987 Toyota Camry when authorities saw him. For the past five months, Moreno has stole Nissan Sentras and Toyotas by using a special device that operates Japanese’s vehicles of a particular age. He was finally caught by a local auto-theft task force who acted as a tip that took him into custody. Police stated that was the thief stealing “vehicles as transportation to pursue their relationship”.
Moreno’s girlfriend, whose identity withheld, wasn’t arrested, told authorities she’d try to break their relationship off.

Wow! Pretty extreme — even for a guy in love. I found the interesting part of your article was to note there is actually a device these thieves are using that operate Japanese cars! Yikes — that’s pretty scary to think of, I know they go to great lengths to steal it if they want too, but geesh — this was over the top.
