U.S. Border Patrol “Loses” Patrol Car

05.douglas.ap.jpgConcerned about border security? My take on this story is that maybe the U.S. should worry less about fences and more about officer training.

On Sunday a trio of Mexican teens detained for drug smuggling broke free, stole a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle, and drove it to Mexico. Mexican authorities were able to relocate the vehicle without its temporary occupants who apparently have not been caught.
And how was the vehicle stolen in the first place?
“As the agent was doing his search, he left the vehicle running and the keys in the ignition, so one of the lads, still wearing handcuffs, grabbed the steering wheel and they headed back to Mexico,” a police spokesman said.

Funny and oh so sad at the same time. The car was recovered, the detainees were not.

I think that I read somewhere that the agent is going to receive the Barney Fife Medal of Merit.
