Bcc Vehicle Stolen

Missing 14 days ago...just making news yesterday....might be headed to Egypt by now!

Nah- your typical African warlord or terrorist leader prefers to buy Toyotas on the dark market because of their great reliability record. If it was a Tacoma or Land Cruiser, then it actually might end up in Somalia, since those are both close to the HiLux beloved by warlords outside of North America.

Anyone else remember the, I think it was Texas construction or plumbing company who didn't strip the business decals off before they sent their truck to auction, and it ended up in global press photos being used by terrorists with the business name still on the side?

This whole story is odd. Nothing follows what one would think would be commonsense reporting of a crime.

It sounds to me like the County going way out of the way to protect an employee.

Do we know who's vehicle it was (or last assigned to)?

I was told today the vehicle was assigned to Commissioner Nipper & her aid.

I remember. Here's a CNN article on it...

When the vehicle was stolen it was actually parked at Melanie Nipper's office which would lead a prudent person to believe someone from Ms. Nipper's office used it last!

The Walton County Sheriff’s Office continues to search for a 2007 white Chevrolet Trailblazer that was stolen during a burglary at Walton County offices on U.S. Highway 90 W in DeFuniak Springs. Investigators say the SUV was taken sometime between May 21 and 23. The SUV is the designated vehicle for the District 3 County Commissioner Melanie Nipper. “The vehicle sat at the County building for a while, so, it’s not certain who would have used it last,” ACCORDING TO WCSO Public Information Officer Corey Dobridnia. The tag number on the Blazer is COUN240523 and a Walton County logo is on the passenger and driver doors with BCC 5841. Anyone with information is asked to contact Emerald Coast Crime Stoppers anonymously at 863-TIPS.

Maybe TDC Code Enforcement accidently drove it into the Gulf...

Now it's part of the Artificial Reef program.
