Thief posing as Pilot stealing airport cars
At almost every municipal airport across the country, there's a courtesy car for pilots who land there and need to run a few errands. The courtesy car at the Clarksville Airport was stolen this week, but the thief left a clue left behind led police to connect it to a few other thefts just like it.

People like that are why we, as the law abiding and courteous public, can't have nice things
I used to work at a FBO, and for the life of me, I can't understand how a guy can pose as a pilot and grab a c-car. I dont recall ever loaning the car out when we didn't have an airplane in trade.
That's how we've always done it as well. No airplane, no car.
4500' single runway without an ICAO code(H35). I'm surprised they even had a car.
Wouldn't that be the best place though? An airport like that, if they have a car, is probably more likely to leave the keys accessible even if no one is home. From the KATV description, it sounds like the car is a retired police cruiser.
Incidentally Preacher, turns out I'm just down the road from you. I work at CXW, the new Conway airport.

I think it has moved but their PD used to be there at the airport. Have they got anywhere close to moving everything down there at Conway yet?
We've got everything moved and closed the old airport at the end of January. We're just working on finish-up work at the new place now.
I didn't know if they had closed it or not. FA here sill shows the old one open and I think the FAA does too.I went to LIT last month but went South of you on 10 so wasn't by. Are they going to adding a crosswind runway down there or will there be a need to with the new alignment?
