So before everyone heads out for their favorite patio and frosty libation, a friendly FrontBurner PSA: Even if you have a gated fence around your house, you should probably go ahead and close that garage door, and take your keys out of the vehicle and bring them inside.
Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins learned that the hard way.

and how did our broke-before-he-took-a-civil-service-job DA afford an $85K+ vehicle?
As a famous comic once said, “You can’t fix stupid.”
It goes with his $3,000 tuxedo
Did he get it through Commissioner Price’s discount luxury car program?
Rare? Expensive and fairly unpopular but they have sold a TON of them and you can walk into Park Place right now and buy one new.
$85k+? Man, I hope it was well insured. Otherwise, that’s a lot of rich swells’ ecstasy-dealing sons he’s gonna have to decline to prosecute.
Good luck getting the insurance company to pay off on a vehicle where the keys were left in the car.
There are quite a few G series Mercedes around town. I think a couple kids at SMU even drive them.
John M: RTFA please. It was a 2003 and limited production.
That said, bully to the crooks. Maybe Watkins will now focus on “petty” crime that us plebes deal with and less on the millions he hopes to reap for Dallas County (and by proxy his office) via a MERS lawsuit. Watkins can’t spell MERS without a team of outside counsel assisting.
Wonder if it was the same people who stole Danny Clancy’s tires…..
@ Uppercase — you make a good point. How does he afford such a car?
“Good luck getting the insurance company to pay off on a vehicle where the keys were left in the car.”
They do it every day.
Why is he claiming that his 2003 Mercedes G-Wagen is worth $85 – $100 thousand, when the Kelley Blue Book value ranges between $27 – $34 thousand?

Cause he’s working the insurance fraud angle on the whole thing. You think his insurance company is going to turn him in – that would be racial profiling and they’d get JWP out there protesting their local office.
And most of these ding-dongs would be yelling “class warfare” if anyone pointed out a white person’s swank ride…
