Gas Prices Have Turned People Into Criminals

Irvine police say vehicle believed to be connected to a number of car burglaries in Orange County was like something out of an international spy movie.

Yasmine Kambour, 37, and Chris Huynh, 44, both of Garden Grove were arrested Tuesday morning after an alert resident saw them in the parking garage of 2100 Scholarship. Police say the resident recognized them and their white 2008 Mercedes Benz C300 with white custom rims as the vehicle identified in connection with several vehicle burglaries a week prior.

Inside the vehicle, Irvine police say the officers found burglary tools, evidence of identity theft, and stolen property taken from a vehicle in Newport Beach. The car was also outfitted with "an elaborate gas siphoning device that transferred fuel directly into the vehicle's gas tank," police said.

"We noticed they had a very sophisticated fuel-pumping system in the back, where they could presumably siphon gas out of other people's vehicles," said Irvine PD Sergeant Karie Davies.



But more remarkably, the car was also outfitted with a license plate flipper that allowed the driver to obscure its license plate with the push of a button.

“They have this kind of James Bond flipping license plate in the back," Davies continued. "The reason they do that is to hide the license plate so we can't identify the car and who owns the car."

Detectives further detailed how the pair would prey on residents of large apartment complex, and those who left their car doors unlocked, and as they left the complex, they would switch their license plate using the installed flipper.

Person of interest = the person who’s responsible for the crime but a Judge has to make it official.

Considered to be armed and dangerous = they are armed and dangerous, don’t wait for a judge to make it official, call the police.

...these days, "person of interest" equates to any woman that will talk to me.

Armed and dangerous means a woman that is not an amputee that will talk to me.

  
Date: 5/24/2022 5:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry....A few months ago, I ordered a locking gas cap for my old truck. (Based on your post, I will order another for Mrs. Kronk's car.) My truck is a bomb, for sure, but the thing holds 26 gallons of gasoline. Plenty low-lives, around here, that would take a chance and try and steal $120. dollars worth of anything.

"L.D."---Well? Who is responsible?

kronk---Never mind. I'm tired of worrying about it all. Hand me another spoonful of that "peanut butter vodka."

"L.D."---Ugh?

I was buying locking gas caps back in the late 70’s for the same reason.

Date: 5/24/2022 6:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry Back in the early eighties, I had a locking gas cap on my car. So, "The Rolling Stones," came to town and we took off with 1/8 of a tank of gasoline and stopped to buy some. (Yep, I forgot the key to the locking gas cap.) So, I pulled into a lot next to the gas station and proceeded to pry the cap off with a tire tool. (Yep, a policeman pulled up while I was beating on the thing.) He was a cool cat and even helped me get the cap off. I made to the hall in time and "The Stones" tore it up.

"L.D."---"PBV" is the best thing sense baby rabbit!
