When You're 17 & Your $45,000 BMW Just Isn't Enough...

[flamingyouth]

SNOQUALMIE - So, you're not happy with that $45,000 BMW and want to upgrade to a dashing Bentley, worth three times more. What do you do?

Have the Beemer stolen, then stripped and collect on the insurance.
That's what police allege a 17-year-old Sammamish teen tried to do his BMW M-3 Coupe.

The alleged scheme started Monday night at the Bellevue restaurant where he worked. The teen reported his BMW stolen from a parking garage below the restaurant. Then, a couple of hours later, Snoqualmie police find the car being stripped by four guys -- amateur thieves they say -- at Snoqualmie Point Park, a known dumping ground for stolen cars.

5. I sound like my dad

But I'd really like to see this kid's spirit crushed by hard labor. Say, working on a farm or something. :spank:

6. If he had had to WORK for the car, it probably would have been "enough"

7. Don't you think it's weird he works in a restaurant?

I wonder what the story is there. Did he use his tip money to buy the car? :crazy:

12. From what I experienced living in

Snoqualmie Valley, it has become a haven for rich people- and now the place is getting populated and filled with stores and shit. It's still a beautiful area, but it won't be for long.
Anyways a lot of the richer kids work, too, for extra money just for them, and considering how many well to do folks are in the area he probly gets decent tips- though not enough to afford a car like this on his own. Was probably a present for his 16th birthday or something.

Ugh. I'm happy with my crappy little Honda that I can't even drive. Lol. Just knowing I'll have a car, period, to drive when I get a license, is more than enough for me. It's too bad my generation is so overly concerned with material wealth.

Rest assured, yall- not ALL of my generation is like that.
