Because if your dumb enough to steel something you wouldnt think of that , and youd be real keen to leave the scene of the crime asap , specially if the cops (Henry handcuffs ....where the hell did you get that ....no, no, I dont really want to know

) were already on your arse , its a humourous line " drive it like you stole it " sorta in the same vein as " drives like a lost getaway driver " ....being a tad erratic and likely to make rapid ,badly thought out changes in direction in the height of panic as Elliot Ness and his team of untouchables ( trying to think of something in your age range

) is closing the gap in hot pursuit , in their wallowing standard federal enforcement sedan , bristling with Colt .38 police positive pistols and Thompson sub machine guns ....while you lost the 7th hub cap off the same car .




( and they reckon Germans are humourless ).........

...far out jimmbo, your a hard case, and youd make a lousy criminal


( I mean that in a nice way )
