[Scan-DC] Montgomery County stolen car chase

[racerpgt at aol.com]

I actually don't mind the equinox :)

I remember what you ae talking about but I thought the chase originated in montgomery county, near the va line though, and I thought he ran out of gas but onstar was monitoring cabin audio and positioning as he raced around 495, rt 50, etc

I happened to hear it also, while on the way home from work... stolen vehicle was a Chevy Equinox (there will be a brief pause while you say. "EEEEWWWW... who would steal one of those things?") and as Jeff mentions, it was equipped with OnStar... but I thought OnStar also had the capability to disable the vehicle?  Anybody know?

(There was a similar incident a couple of years ago where a GM vehicle, seems to me it was a GMC Yukon, or maybe a Cacalade, was stolen somewhere in NoVA and driven into MD, had a little kid in it... didn't that one end up with OnStar shutting down the vehicle?  I disremember now...)
