Maybe this couple can meet the same fate as the original. It might prove to be a very good example for deterrence!

Now where did I park that old Ford! (Never stop to help someone with a flat tire?).

Is this jacket bullet proof?

So they turned their friends home into a burglar?

I think you mean 'burgling'.

"The couple used eBay, PayPal and a vast network of brick-and-mortar banks and sometimes employed masks and wigs to disguise their appearance."

Explains the sunglasses symbol after the userid on eBay....

Pity they didn't shoot anyone too. I wonder when the movie is due out.

Pah!

No machine guns, no bullet riddled car. This is just a couple of thieves.

Feds are getting soft these days...

Back in the day they gunned down Bonnie and Clyde.

That said, the criteria for being a modern day Bonnie and Clyde seems pretty slack - Bonnie and Clyde did armed hold-ups (though it's said Bonnie never actually brandished or fired a weapon, she was more support and logistics - W. D. Jones: "As far as I know, Bonnie never packed a gun. Maybe she'd help carry what we had in the car into a tourist-court room. But during the five big gun battles I was with them, she never fired a gun. But I'll say she was a hell of a loader.")

Waiting for some unrepentant video/music "pirate" to be deemed "The new Jack the Ripper" because, like, you know, his crimes [against Warner Bros et al.] are like really /heinous/.

Nab?

What's wrong with an old fashioned shoot-out?

Courts are slow.

It seems courts will never be timely with anything - they were arrested back in Novenber of 2007!
