If I can figure out a way to post it, I will. Here's a sample:

"It had been some time since Mr. Carlino had stolen a car. The trick, he recalled, was to find a car new enough to be reliable, but old enough to be easy to open and hotwire, and cheap enough not to have an aftermarket alarm.
"Luck was with him. After only ten minutes of plodding in pre-dawn darkness along Como Avenue in the teeth of a sharp March wind off the Mississippi, Mr. Carlino found a good one. A mid-90s Oldsmobile 88, its maroon paint was faded and its left rear fender looked as though it had been chewed by a mythical metal-eating beast. A bumper sticker read, I MAY BE SLOW BUT I’M AHEAD OF YOU."
