Car thief fleeing crash gets away in police cruiser in the Denver post

A man carjacked a woman sitting in a Mitsubishi outside First Bank at County Line Road and South Broadway, on Sunday, Littleton police said. He ordered the woman out of her car and sped down County Line Road. A Littleton police officer pursued the vehicle until it crashed near South Polo Ridge Drive and West Mineral Avenue. The carjacker ran and doubled back to the crash site, got in a trooper car and drove off. Police found the stolen cruiser around the 7900 block of South Bemis Street.

As I was reading this I thought to my self, this guy must be really stupid to get in a police cruiser and drive off, or he is really smart to go back to the crash site, steal a police car, and not be tracked down. Also I was thinking how stupid a cop is to leave his car running and chase after someone. Lastly couldn't the police headquarters trace the car down quicker so they could catch the guy? I thought all of the police cars had a tracking devise or something so something like this wouldn't happen. I was also wondering what this carjacker did so he had to jack a car from the lady.
