Eric Anthony Greensweight, 35, allegedly stole a $37,000 Cadillac from a dealers lot in Ukiah, Calif.
Dealership employees said Greensweight was a transient who had been sleeping in the parking lot, and raced off in a car that had the keys in it. An employee gave chase, using a cell phone to keep police updated. The Highway Patrol took over the 100-mph pursuit until Greensweight spun out of control. When Greensweight took off in the car, he left a shopping cart full of his belongings behind.
(Ukiah Daily Journal) ...Right: that was his trade-in.

If the dealer had checked one more option on the order sheet, the crook and the car probably would have gotten away. If it had had Stabilitrak(T), it wouldnt have spun out.
If the driver had more experience with cars over 100 MPH he wouldnt have spun. I wouldnt have spun. Or stolen a Cadillac. snicker...
