Carjacked Kids Make it Home

2008_08_livcab.jpgOn Tuesday night, a pair of siblings were abducted when a carjacker stole the livery cab they were in. The cab driver had been helping their mother unload some packages when a man took off in the cab on Tinton Avenue in the Bronx. NY1 reports the 4-year-old boy was "dropped off about a block away at 166th Street and Tinton Avenue and was able to walk home" while his 7-year-old sister was dropped off half a mile away--"Fortunately, she remembered her address and phone number and came across three girls who walked her home." The police are still looking for the cabjacker and the taxi.

Article says it was a livery cab, not a yellow cab.

It was only three blocks away, at 163rd and Tinton, that Grandmaster Flash hotwired a light pole and DJ'ed his first block party.

Thanks for the historcal footnote Doc. One must admire the Bronx for keeping it edgy.
