Guy steals a bus in Syracuse and drives it up to Watertown to visit a friend. A couple of questions: why would anyone want to go to Watertown?; why would they go by bus?
On the other hand, the article says that Greyhound disabled the bus remotely, which is pretty cool – I didn’t realize they had that technology. Maybe they’ll sell that knowhow to the Taliban.
Maybe he was going to Watertown to get married?
We know how that worked out!
Many of the car rental agencies in Southern California have GPS monitors in their cars and if you go too far or into Mexico, they disable the car. They will also call you if you drive too fast too often.
