Time for another "Thinker AND Doer" Award

Reynold Joseph has good enough taste in cars. Right before being shuttered by GM Pontiac was making great cars, the 2009 Vibe was nominated for Motor Trend's Car of the Year and the G8 was based on the Aussie Holden with the big blindingly fast motor and the car played to great reviews. One of the last 8 cylinder cars around.

Joseph's trouble was selling the car to a woman on Long Island.....then using a scheme to go steal it back so he could sell it again on Craigslist. Like we said, a thinker AND a doer.

Joseph sold the car to the Long Island woman via Craigslist and after she found out she had the wrong title (*cough cough* how did that happen?) he took it out to her address (what a guy!). Later that night she noticed her car was *GASP* stolen! She of course reported it stolen. Wile E.'s plan began to fall apart after he was pulled over in scenic Mahwah because the windows were tinted too dark. The first thing Mahwah Officer David Vega picked up on was Reynold was not allowed to drive in New Jersey or New York, license suspension issues and so forth. NJ.com tells us the rest:

Joseph claimed that he had just purchased the car after responding to a Craigslist ad, and produced a title to show he was the legal owner.

Vega was suspicious, however, and after running the Vehicle Identification Number through a national database, determined that the car had been reported stolen out of Nassau County, N.Y. Joseph was arrested, and a subsequent search of his vehicle found two "master keys" used to open Acura vehicles and Toyota Camry models.

What? Master keys what? That's crazy. They must have been left by ________________.

After he got the car home police say Joseph planned to re-list the same car on Craigslist and perhaps play a game of "Pontiac presents: lather, rinse, repeat." Joseph wins the Thinker and Doer Award because he might just have hit on phase two of how the South Park Underpants Gnomes can make money. Previously the plan consisted of:

Phase 1) Collect underpants
Phase 2)
Phase 3) Profit!

Joseph solves the riddle here by showing Phase 2 is actually selling the underpants back to the victims. If only he'd have used his considerable business acumen for good. Pity.
