The bloated Palestinian Arab security forces find a stolen car in their newfound love of law and order. So what do they do with it?
1. Return it to its original owner, if he is in the territories, or return it to Israel if it is from there?
2. Sell it at auction to help add money to the coffers of the PA?
3.
Steal it to use it themselves?
4.

It is a testament to Palestinian Arab poverty that they can afford to burn vehicles.
