Hot Rod 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
Two young and aspiring criminals had found a new (and quite unique) hobby to make life more interesting.
The concept: to steal a couple of cars (preferably expensive ones), and drive at a speed as high as possible into any buildings, parked cars or other withstanding objects. A true test of bravery, I guess, among these pea brained idiots.
In a few weeks the police were receiving reports of these outlandish activities. Frustrated car owners were finding their cars in abandoned car parks with inreperable damage. Police intesified their hunt for the madmen. One day a police car on patrol heard screaming tire noises from an old factory compund. The policeman turned of his lights and drove the car slowly towards the sound (with his car-camera turned on). Suddenly he saw a car at great speed crashing into a large, and quite robust, light-pole. Remarkably enough the car was still able to drive, and backed away of the pole. Before the policeman could react the car speed of once again towards the light-pole, this time however the outcome was not quite so lucky. The light pole started swaying, and fell on top of the car, crushing the driver to his death. His "partner" was later aprehended, and confessed to several accounts of recless driving.
