Now Theft-Worthy: Salt
The Way We Live Now: Broke as a joke from coast to coast. They're selling heroin in Maine. They've sent everyone on furlough in California. And in the Midwest, you can't even leave salt outside without enterprising Americans swiping it. More » -

Tesla's Elon Musk Continues War Of Aggression Against Volt, REVs
