The Houston Police Department's Criminal Intelligence Division, the FBI and the Harris County Sheriff's Office are all concerned about a large number of school buses that have been stolen in the Houston area over the last several months.

This is quite concerning. It makes me really uneasy, and glad that my daughter isn't in school yet. Especially after reading all the Beslan articles recently. Our world is sick.
