According to the Times, Norton would target unlocked cars parked at home, especially at around 9 p.m., when people are typically occupied by TV-watching, or in the morning as they left a car unattended to warm up.
Norton, a longtime methamphetamine addict, favored late-model, luxury cars, and his most notable thefts according to various reports, include an Itasca motor home, a K-9 patrol car, and a boat — and he almost didn’t tell authorities about a ’77 Chevy pickup because it was “too embarrassing.” He claims to have defeated anti-theft tracking measures like OnStar and LoJack system by simply parking in aluminum sheds.
However, officials were finally led to the suspect’s trailer home in the woods by no other than a LoJack system, where they found several partially assembled stolen vehicles…and the suspect hiding under his bedcovers.
Are we the only ones who can smell the fight over movie rights?
