  Great Britains Can't be Glad Thieves get Just Desserts?
Fireball death crash: Merc was stolen from cop Jun 14 2006 By James Glover, Liverpool Echo.

Ok so what's important about this story? That:
The car and an Audi A3 were stolen from the police officer's Little Altcar home after burglars took the keys, bank cards, cash and a warrant card.

Within hours both vehicles had been involved in horrific accidents.

The Mercedes crashed into a tree and burst into flames after leaving the Formby bypass, close to the Lighthouse roundabout, shortly after 1am.

A 16-year-old girl scrambled free from the wreckage despite serious injuries, but the driver died.

Police fear it could be weeks before the victim is formally named - his body was so badly burned DNA tests are needed to confirm his identity.
Nope, I think that it is good that the thieves of these cars suffered almost poetic justice. What concerns me is that the owner of the cars, Kenneth Scarth:
A POLICE officer could face disciplinary action over comments he reportedly made about the car thief who stole his Mercedes and died in a fireball crash.
That police officer? Why Mr. Scarth! What did he say that was so startling insensitive?
"I have no sympathy for them. I feel sorry for his parents and for the girl's parents, but not for them. I am not bothered about what has happened to them."
I suppose that in Great Britain, you are now not only unable to defend yourself you can't be glad that the bad guys who steal from you & destroy your property suffer for their misdeeds. Heck, you can't even be non-plussed by their misfortune.

It certainly seems that Great Britain is making every effort at self-destruction.

For us, the American ideal is personified in the concept of self-reliance, work ethic, honesty/forthrightness, decency, personal property rights, family, religion, an ability to defend oneself from criminals and crooked politicians, and personal responsibility.
