Why a UPS Truck?

Early yesterday evening a man driving a Ford Explorer near the intersection of 38th and Red River jumped out of his car and into a UPS truck (after tossing the driver out). The UPS truck hijacker then took the vehicle on a short joyride on the IH35 South access road until becoming involved in a collision by the old Concordia site. After the accident, he fled on foot, but didn't get far before being caught by police near E. 32nd St. and the east frontage road. So, was it worth it? [Statesman]
