Tonight CBC Calgary News continued their special series on auto theft, Hot Wheels. The first part covered the Calgary Police Service’s HEATT (High Enforcement Auto Theft Team) and the second part focused on the police helicopter, HAWCS. The third part was about the role of the internet and the role it plays in today’s increasingly connected world. Making another appearance was “The Claw”, an epic happy ending story where forum members helped track down a stolen Skyline.
The CBC News clip can be viewed below. Our famous President and Co-founder, rage2 makes an appearance as does Moderator Jaymez and forum member Envision.
It appears that the stolen skyline story featuring The Claw is still alive and kicking out on the interweb. David Price gave a lecture to a group of music teachers showing them how quickly the world has changed. The claw story segment was used to highlight how the internet allows a large group of people (that’d be you!) to organize a collective action so quickly, and so effectively. Apparently, the video was not supposed to be released publically, but the story was told so well I thought I’d post it onto the home page.
David felt bad for calling us a bunch of car geeks but I don’t think any one here on beyond minds, its just another way of saying “car enthusiast”, no? All we need now is for the mainstream media to learn from David how to tell a story properly and you know, focusing on the part that made it the epic story that it was.
It’s always great to see stories like this spread on the internet.
