The Charlottesville, VA Police spotted the stolen Subaru shortly after it
was stolen at 3: am, Tues. July 15, 2003(yesterday). Soon two city cruisers
were chasing the black wagon with $500.worth of tools in the back. The chase
went onto Interstate 64 and off into the county, eventually turning onto a
gravel road. The police could not keep up and soon gave up the chase,
fearing for their and the thief's lives.

He put the tools in the back to get that thing to oversteer?
That's one eclectic robber

A couple of years ago I was back home in Australia and my Dad was telling me
that the local police have a bastard of a time if they have to chase an STi,
not only on gravel roads, in town is a challenge too.

I have seen pictures of WRX police cars in New Zealand.
Always wondered if they are for real, or just a joke. Maybe someone in this
ng can clear this up..

I'm not sure if they still do, but the police in the Gold Coast, Queensland,
Australia used to have WRXs as chase cars.

I haven't seen any, but you never know.

On the other hand, the standard-issue police car, the Holden Commodore
already handles a couple of orders of magnitude better than a Crown
Victoria, and comes with plenty big enough engines.
