Cars get stolen every day, and with the popularity of the new Chevy Camaro (as well as the gobs of horsepower under the hood) it makes a tempting target for any thief. Some thieves aren’t in it for anything more than a joyride, though any fool who would steal a car and videotape his transgressions is probably lacking both driving skills and brain cells. But it makes for a great story.
A few days ago, Jalopnik reported on the saga of Steven Kell, who was accused of stealing a Camaro, and his booking photo looked like he was wearing… lipstick. But MyFoxAL reports that Kell’s partner-in-crime videotaped both the theft, and the high speed joyride that hit 100 MPH before ending in a violent crash.
Police allege that the 25-year-old Kell, of Glencoe, Alabama, and another unnamed suspect stole the car from a young woman after midnight late last week. During this, they started filming, claiming that they were “test driving” the Camaro as the video focuses in on the speedometer as it goes up to 100 MPH. Seconds later, a loud skid, bang, and crash are heard and the two abandon the wrecked Camaro (though apparently not before retrieving their CD.)
Police found the wrecked Camaro at the intersection, and claim that Kell was driving 100 MPH down Taylor Road, which is heavily populated and has a 25 MPH speed limit. Police found Kell at his grandmother’s house; he went peacefully and made for a most intriguing mugshot. But the real story here is that police accuse Kell and his camera-crazed friend of stealing a Camaro and videotaping their crimes. How do you explain that to a judge?
