[*BCM*] back bay thefts (Lee Peters)

[Brian Frye]

Dude, this story is so incredible and badass, you should sell it to Bruce
Willis and have him play you in the movie adaptation. I can't remember ever
hearing of a biker riding shotgun with a cop, yelling "you're goin down,
sucka!" That is the most unlikely combination since Mel Gibson and Danny
Glover, and we all know how that turned out
