aurora Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The ice skater Denis Tan from Kazakhstan was stabbed to death in the street, apparently by people trying to steal his car mirrors. https://www.bbc.com/sport/winter-sports/44887051 RIP Denis Link to comment

Jayne Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Shocking, just 25 years of age, and for car mirrors! Link to comment
California Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 3 minutes ago, Jayne said: . . . and for car mirrors! Yes, startling and horrible that people would murder for car mirrors. I was reminded of a conference I attended in the US in the late 80s with scholars from the Soviet Union. Each had a $100 bill provided for expenses from their government. They wanted someone to drive them to the nearest Sears store so they could stock up on ... wait for it ... windshield wipers. They were apparently regularly stolen and people would uninstall them from their own cars whenever they parked, if they could. We forget what it can be like in some of these countries elsewhere on the planet. (which is not to say that there aren't also crimes in the US which are hard to fathom...) Link to comment
Deflope Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I remember a friend had the H stolen from his Honda and he was parked right in the university garage. Back to Denis Ten, this was one of the most beautiful men’s programs Link to comment
