We're not quite sure what's going on in this video shot last week on Duncan St. Is it a drug deal gone bad like the title of the video claims? Is it an argument over a delivery or unpaid bills? We can't really say but it does make for some entertaining viewing. The payoff is at about the 1:00 mark when the white cube van tries to drive away. We won't give it away.

Well, they don't call those vehicles "pedophile vans" for nothing. They're always up to no good.
Those guys are internet famous now. I bet they get their own web show where they crash white vans into things and then laugh about it.
Watching this, I feel like I'm playing Grand Theft Auto.
And badly, at that.
So did this make it ot the police blotter? surely someone got the licence plate -the poor bastard who owned the mini-van must have been some pissed to come out and see the damage to his vehicle . . .
According to the conversation going on on YouTube, the cops did show up later.
This happened just up the street from my office. It was on Duncan, southbound between Adelaide and King W. I saw the last bit.
I've heard two stories, one saying that a guy was trying to steal the van, the other that the van driver was ripping someone off and trying to get away.
In any event, this video only shows the last bit o' the action - the van driver destroyed three cars (they were pushed onto the sidewalk, tires off rims, and the Mazda at the back had it's rear axle broken.
The cops finished their donuts and arrived about 2 minutes after the guy took off, and they spent the next few minutes squealing around the block with their lights and sirens. I hear that they eventually pinned him in outside Indian Motorcycle (or whatever it's called now)
Good times.
