This is a sample email that USC sends us each time there is an incident around campus. And everything reads normal until I get to the last line:

SUSPECT VEHICLE: Black SUV, possibly Ford Explorer or Expedition.

So alright: you hit on someone to get their property. You obviously need the money because you don’t have enough. BUT, you can drive a Ford Explorer or Expedition SUV! This is a huge, expensive car that only the gas they will need to accelerate will cost more than the property they steal. I simply do not understand…
