Unrelated to the story, but could my ISP possibly be blocking archive.is? Is this a known issue with that site?
None of the links ever work for me, but it seems that I can access it anywhere but my home network.

archive.is is blocked in Australia and some other countries, along with many other sites. For Australia this happened in May this year.
Most ISP's just use DNS-filtering to block it, so getting around it is as easy as changing your DNS settings.

#9If there’s one thing enterprising thieves know how to do, it’s ruining things for honest people and why we can’t have good things.
You really have to think like a thief when you want to serve the public because the public provides a cover to the crook and if you let your guard down it’ll bite you in this day and age.

#10This is interesting because I always thought these "background checks" were just a formality. Like something needed for their insurance or to weed out a few extreme individuals (like those with multiple-DUIs or a heavy history of wrecks on their record).
But the fact that they can ease up on background checks and see an immediate large bulk of car thefts is damning evidence that the background checks were truly having a real impact on preventing theft. It really is fascinating.
