A 14-year-old joyriding in a carjacked Chevy lost control of the car and ran into three pedestrians in Oakland. After the accident, the kid and his brother tried to flee the scene but angry bystanders grabbed the driver and started beating him up. His brother managed to get away.

Employees of the Delta Queen Classic Car Wash in Campbell are mourning the deaths of ten beloved pet ducks, who were deliberately run over by a joyriding person in a red Acura Integra. The driver not only ran over the ducks but also got out of the car to pick up ducklings and smash them against the side of the car. The cops have a grainy surveillance-camera picture of the license plate and have vowed to press felony animal cruelty charges if they find the perp. The car wash has had ducks since 1972.

And hey, remember Calvin Cat, that guy from the Redwood City DMV who was fondling girls who were taking their driving tests? Well, he was sentenced to two years in prison (the maximum). He claimed that he got so nervous sitting in cars that he wasn't driving that it "brought out the evil in him." His M.O.? He'd ask the girls to keep an eye on their right tire while parallel-parking, and when they leaned over, he'd pounce.
