Two 14 year old boys steal plane and then crash

... but would they then go after your son?

It seems that this newsgroup is filled with rumors

....which is why I asked the one who asked the source.

Ok, you got me: I didn't think to ask him that question, as it was not the
claim I sought out to disprove.

Sorry Jay, but you're going down in the 8th.
(Vegas has you a 3:1 underdog)

Yeah, that's the problem with us lifting weights together for the last three
years. He's pumped full of testosterone, while his old man is pumped full
of ...fruit? Even though we're lifting the same weights, I just don't bulk
up at 47 like he does at 15.

Between that, and his high school wrestling, I'd probably go down in the 3rd
round.

But, luckily, he doesn't know that...yet.

Ever hear of someone going after parents of kids that steal cars, or commit
other crimes? Successfully?

I doubt they'd waste the time and resources unless they had some strong idea
that the parent put them up to it or some such.

Many people are wondering tonight, how did this happen? How did two
14-year
old boys get access to the airplane?

Only people who are unaware of the complete lack of security at most GA
airports are wondering....

Really, you're becoming as predictable as the tide with your asinine &
uneducated comments...

It has been widely reported (if you were paying attention) that the
airplane belonged to one of the boys' fathers. That being the case it's
probably safe to assume that they had access to the aircraft. The OP
said they'd stolen the keys (that should've been your first clue)

I understand what you might mean by "security."

if anyone has keys/access code, etc. to: the guns cabinet, the car,
the bank vault, the missile silo launch console, the candy jar,
and yes, the occasional GA airplane, said person can use that piece
of equipment to whatever legitimate or nefarious end they chose.

That's what keys are for, that's how it works.

How would you suggest preventing it from happening? why should
(and how could) GA airplane be more secure than guns cabinets,
cars, bank vault, missile silo launch consoles, or candy jars?

Skylune...dude...you REALLLLLY REALLLLLLY need to learn how
to quote properly. I don't know what the problem is, and I
know I've brought it up before.

Put simply, the way you post now, others can not tell what
text is a quote from someone else and what are your own
comments.

If it weren't for having read kingfish's post before yours,
I might have through it was you who was telling kingfish
that he's "becoming as predictable as the tide...."

What software are you using? Maybe we can help you figure it
out?

He's almost there. All he needs to do right now (to quote intellebly,
if not to "usenet standards", is to put his two arrows on a =separate=
line. The fact that they are now at the END of a line hides them.
Putting them on a separate line would make them much more evident -
enough more evident that though they don't conform to standards, most
people would be able to figure it out easily.

News flash! Two fourteen year old boys steal a car and crash head on into
another, killing themselves and four others.
Gets no media attention. Probably happens almost every day.

Two fourteen year old boys steal daddy's plane, land in the desert.
Oh, the humanity! People have to know about this! We have to tell them, so
they can be terrified!

The public just needs to get a grip.

One of my favorite lines from 'All In The Family"...

Gloria (daughter): Daddy, did you know more and more people get killed with
guns every year??!
Archie: Would it make you feel any better if they were pushed out the
window?
