My thought after seeing the overview was something like, "Oh, man, you were still _using_ that runway?"

Witnesses also reported that the driver jumped down from the vehicle and ran to catch a bus prior to the arrival of Engine 2 and the Harris County Sheriff's Department.

The vehicle ran for over an hour until the oil had completely drained from the motor and it seized.

To me, this sends up a red flag reading "STOLEN VEHICLE". I figure if I did that to my own car, I would at least turn it off before fleeing the scene...

Somebody's going to have an unpleasant time with their insurance company.
