You know that Palo Alto crime wave? Well, it turns out it was mostly due to one hard-working guy, who broke into 43 cars over the summer.

In other car-related mishaps -- a man in San Bruno who tried to ghost-ride the whip, as detailed by hyphy master E-40 (wherein one person accelerates a car in gear and then shifts it into neutral, while another jumps on the roof and dances on top), is in critical condition after missing the top of the car.

And finally, a drunk man in Pittsburg ran himself over with his own car while attempting to attack two motorcyclists with a pool stick. For some reason, the driver became enraged at a group of bikers and tried to run them over with his car. When the bikers fled, he chased after two of them, got out of the car with the pool stick, but then got run over by his car, which he had left in reverse. The bikers were good-hearted enough to then pull the man out of the way as his car accelerated into the median on Highway 4. The best part of this story? It took place at 9:15 a.m.
