SUV wanted in rape and kidnapping case
2004-02-13
Police are releasing a description of a stolen SUV they think may be involved in the rape and kidnapping of a 16-year-old girl in Mecosta County.
Damm SUVs are running amuck!
Police tell 24 Hour News 8 the teenager was abducted last Friday while walking home from school in Big Rapids. Officers think the suspect took the girl to an empty summer home, broke into the house, and assaulted her. A Colfax Township resident found the girl tied up in the snow off a roadside embankment. Police are looking for a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee that was stolen from Antrim County February 4. The vehicle is a four door, deep amethyst or deep purple in color, with license plate RDB-089. It was last seen in Big Rapids being driven by a white male on the night of February 5.
Is the white male a suspect or the SUVs latest victim?

#9  Shipman, I have been calling a particular SUV a station wagon ever since I saw the first commercial.

#8  well, not to brag, but new 2004 Ford F-150 Lariat Supercrew 4X4 meets passenger car emission standards, so the Auto/Truck companies must be listening

#7  Don't worry about SUVs... fight back. Want to deflate an SUV owner? Call it a station wagon. I've been doing this for about 3 months... I expect the price of station wagons to crater in about 8 months. At which point I will be able to afford a Grand Ayatollah, in deep amethyst, with double multiple drink holders and the limited edition Janaweed upholstery.

#4  There's only one thing to do, Angie - buy an SUV! You're either with us, or you're with the wimpy, ultimately-squishable little doink Civics and Rios.

#3  Last night my boyfriend and I went into downtown (Houston). At one point we were becalmed on I-10 near the Galleria. "Honey, don't panic," I said, "but we're surrounded by SUVs!" It was true: every other vehicle around us was an SUV.

They're taking over! They're here already! You're next! YOU'RE NEXT!
