Straight out of Grand Theft Auto...
"MARIN COUNTY -- A San Rafael teenager accused of shooting at a couple in Mill Valley and stealing a celebrity chef's Lamborghini was charged as an adult Tuesday as additional details surfaced about his alleged underworld of impersonation, weaponry and high-tech gear.
Max Michael Wade, 17, was arrested Saturday after a mix of canniness and luck led sheriff's investigators to his rented storage container in Richmond, where they discovered a dismantled AK-47 assault rifle, another assault rifle, shotgun shells and electronic equipment for jamming cellphones and radios, according to court documents.
Investigators also found false identification cards for California, Florida and New York, local police scanner coordinates and a full San Francisco Police Department uniform with a badge and duty belt, sheriff's Detective Greg Garrett said in an affidavit.
The storage container also included the stolen Lamborghini -- a $200,000 yellow 2008 Gallardo Spyder convertible belonging to Guy Fieri, a Bay Area restaurateur and Food Network host -- as well as the motorcycle and gun suspected of being used in the Mill Valley shooting this month, Garrett said..."

(328 posts)He probably hung out in the back parking lot...
In all seriousness, this kids crime(s) are so over the top. I can't help but think that he must have had help, or he was a total overachiever - even as far as criminals go.
Now imagine if he would have applied himself for the powers of good. Instead, he's probably going to spend the rest of his life, or a least the better part of it in Prison. Damn good thing he didn't actually kill that other kid.

I admittedly used that headline, even though it is not for the same linked article, because it's an attention getter.
I agree with you on the ostentatious piece of shit part.

(25,771 posts)I am however reminded of the line from Rob Roy when they recovered cattle that had been stolen (except for one which had been slaughtered.) Rob says to slaughter one for his clan "They slaughtered one, they could have slaughtered two."
I'm thinking that if I was there I might have concluded "He stole the car, he could have keyed it too."

(328 posts)I am from this area, and the current local buzz is regarding the attempted murder part, friend of a friend knowing these people type stuff.
This story has made the national rounds, but because of Guy Fieri's stolen car, not the shooting. Priorities, I guess.
