No, really, why should he even be taken aback by this? It wasn't like he was surrounded by a bunch of well-behaved, law-abiding citizens, either. Not as bad as prison, at least.
"Er..." Words got stuck in his throat. Murphy paused, rubbing his forehead. "No, nothin' like that. I... wasn't really plannin' on doin' it when it all went down. I just... saw it, broke into it -- gave 'em hell tryin' to chase me for ten hours. I don't really remember much of it. I did cross the state line and, uh... I got arrested in Ashfield. Broke enough yellow tapes to get me a pretty high sentence on top of just car theft."
There was, of course, more to it than that. But there was no reason when it came to the mental health of a grieving father, who couldn't help but blame the useless police department for not being able to find his son in time. He could've stolen any car, really, but there was something more poetic about it in hindsight.
