You can bet this woman won't have a second date with him
She picked the guy up at his apartment for a dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, then he stole her 2000 Chevy Impala and didn't even settle up the bill for dinner.

People go to Buffalo Wild Wings on a date? Weird.

i have been saying that buffalo wild wings is GHETTO. now here is more proof.

Shoot, when it comes to wings, I'll eat just about anywhere they're served.
If a man ever took me to get wings on a first date, I might have fallen in love with him.

twerp: You must not have eaten at BWW or Wild Wings Cafe. They're like the McDonald's of wings. A smaller, "family" type restaurant, or even a bar, that serves wings is so much better. Well, at least for me. BWW and WWC are like a digestive detox on par with Chinese buffet.

""It sounds like a bad date to me," Jones said."
Yeah, I was pretty much thinking the same thing about the Wild Wings.
And for those of you unfamiliar with the Detroit Metropolitan Area, Southfield (the victim's hometown) is Detroit Lite.

Soo, you're correct. I've never eaten at a BWW or a WWC. So really, I have no idea what they're like. Usually I try different locations of a chain before formaing an opinion. One location may be awesome while another one would suck a big one. I do like beer with my wings so if they don't serve beer, well, that may be why I've never gone there.
WARSTEINER DUNKLE RULES!!!

Thank you, Phranqlin. I needed that.
At least Johnny never stole Frankie's Impala.

"The woman told police she also had a backpack with $300 cash inside the car, along with a laptop computer, iPod and a digital camera."
And all in a 9 year old car. I love it.
But I don't understand how the crime took place on 4/24, yet the prelim exam was 8/27. That would seem to indicate a large backlog of cases in the Detroit area courts.
And of course, the suspects name...well, it is pretty easy to form a conclusion.

@Blunt - That could easily be my backpack. Except for the $300 (I rarely carry cash) and iPod (don't have one). My car is a 16-year-old Subaru Impreza with nearly 250K on it and runs like a top. Well, to be totally honest, it IS burning a little oil.
Posted by: Navy Chief | Monday, August 31, 2009 at 07:56 AM
Sorry, but if I had $300 cash, I wouldn't leave it in the car. Also, I don't understand why she took her laptop on a date. Of course, I live in the South and nobody leaves expensive electronics or makeup in their cars unless they want them fried.
Posted by: twerp | Monday, August 31, 2009 at 08:02 AM
I'd like to think I would have the common sense to say "I need something from the car, too, I'll get your wallet for you," rather than hand a virtual stranger my car keys knowing half my life was in the vehicle.
She'll be wiser from now on, though.

i dont leave the house without at least $500 cash on me. then again i dont drive a piece o' shit car either. then again then again i dont eat at GHETTO places like buffalo wild wings.

@Buddy - Not sure I would advertise that too loudly, if I were you...

Moral of the story: Don't leave your cash in your clunker!

I've been to BWW and WWC in two different states (military lunches on a low budget FTW, I guess). They're just not that good, especially when you try wings served at smaller, non-chain restaurants. There are just some things that shouldn't be done on a large scale.
Posted by: Soo | Monday, August 31, 2009 at 10:53 AM
That could be me. Except I don't date. And my car is only 8 years old. And I don't have a laptop and my iPod died a few months ago (no explosions, thankfully). Oh, and I keep my money in the bank. And I'd never eat at a fast food place that only did wings.
Hmm, I guess it couldn't be me, then.

I think I'm dating that guy right now! His mother says he's a great catch and I believe her!
Now where did my wallet go...?
