A guy brazenly snuck into an army barracks, stole an Armored Personnel Carrier and then went on a bit of a rampage through the city. Crashing into a police station, law courts and Police HQ.

The media called it a tank rampage, because they didn't know the difference between an APC and a tank.

The story is all but forgotten now, I never hear anyone talk about this incident. And the killdozer story in Colorado pretty much trumps it anyway.

God, I remember that. That was some wild news footage.

Using the indicators too, when turning onto a new street to rampage. Priorities.
