I would say that this is a good reminder to lock your car doors in Missouri and Illinois, but I'm not sure that would matter much as a new report says incidents in both states are exploding and especially in Illinois.

If you've heard the phrase "what goes around, comes around" then you'll understand the irony of this. A convicted robber in Missouri went online with his loot and then promptly got robbed himself.

It's good to be famous. I've heard that said many times. I've also heard it said that there is no such thing as bad publicity. That being said, I'm pretty sure that Missouri is not happy about the fact that it's becoming quite notorious for stealing cars. Lock those doors and hide your keys.

If I would have had to guess this, I would have gotten it completely wrong. Did you know that the worst city in Missouri for auto theft isn't Kansas City or St. Louis. It's not Springfield either. No, the most likely place to have your vehicle stolen also happens to be one of the worst in America.

It's one of the worst nightmares for parents. Security cam video shows that a hooded stranger and another possible accomplice followed a Missouri boy home with him narrowly escaping them.

I never knew this kind of thing was even possible. A Missouri family learned that their home had been stolen. Yes, someone stole their house.

A dozen different charges have been filed against a Quincy woman in connection with a string of stolen vehicles and a two-state high speed chase Wednesday.

I have some family members who have been mechanics, but I doubt even they have seen this many catalytic converters in one place. Missouri police recently shared news of a staggering amount of these vehicle parts that were found in just one house.

As we get closer to the holidays and many will have gifts arriving, be aware that a new study claims porch pirates are a bigger problem in Missouri than they are in Illinois.

A suspicious vehicle report leads to the arrest of two Quincy men in Hancock County Thursday morning.
