In another not so fast, only a little furious incident, a man received a nearly three-year prison sentence for stealing a Humvee in 2020 from the Army Reserve Center in Upland, California, and then briefly leading police on a methodical chase, according to the U.S. In 2021, the FBI said it recovered an armored vehicle after someone took it from the National Guard armory in the city of Bell, a suburb of Los Angeles. The July 3 incident, meanwhile, is not the first time a Humvee has been stolen from a California National Guard facility. Of course, those unfortunate souls who have spent any period lingering in the sweltering heat of a motor pool know it takes practically nothing to start one, not even keys. “If you are not in the military, I can only imagine what it takes to start a Humvee.”

“I believe that’s a safe assumption,” a CHP officer told ABC. Initial reports suggested the grand theft moto thief may have had prior military experience. Not since Steve McQueen deftly maneuvered his 1968 Mustang GT Fastback in the ‘68 smash hit “Bullitt” has northern California seen such daring activity behind a wheel.

That was the last time the vehicle was seen. Approximately two hours after the vehicle was stolen, authorities received three separate calls about a reckless driver speeding near the facility with no lights on.
