Grand Theft U-Haul???
By Selina Xia Zamacois
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TEXAS — A sharp‑eyed Precinct 4 Montgomery Sergeant turned a routine traffic stop into the recovery of a stolen U‑Haul proving once again that attention to detail is undefeated, and that a moving truck still won’t be the getaway vehicle of choice in the next installment of Grand Theft Auto.
According to Precinct 4, the Sergeant pulled over what appeared to be a standard U‑Haul, until it wasn’t. The license plate didn’t match.
A quick investigation revealed the truth. The truck had been reported stolen back in April. The driver, Rogelio Vasquez,
was taken into custody and charged with Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle. This marks the second stolen U‑Haul recovered this past week. For the alleged grand thief, the game is now over.
While the suspect’s attempt to blend in with a rental truck was bold, it wasn’t exactly brilliant. If video games have taught us anything, it’s that no criminal mastermind in Grand Theft Auto, would choose a 26‑foot moving truck as their escape ride.
Remember even in the game of Grand Theft Auto, all suspects are innocent, until proven guilty in the court of law. Play smart and responsible. In the end you might beat the rap, but you won’t beat the ride.
