Darrel Issa - car thief?

For months, Rep. Darrell Issa (R.,Calif.) has led the charge on demanding an independent investigation of White House job talks with Joe Sestak and Andrew Romanoff to get them to drop Senate primary challenges to favored incumbents.
Now, Democrats are starting to push back, citing Issa’s two indictments on car-theft charges and other brushes with the law.
In 1980, Issa and a brother were indicted in San Jose on charges that they faked a theft of a Mercedes that was sold to a dealer, according to news clips. Prosecutors later dropped the charges.
In 1972, Issa was indicted on grand theft charges for allegedly stealing a red Maserati from a dealership in Cleveland. That case was also dropped.

1972 - he was just a kid…and charges were dropped.
1980 - he was just a kid (eight years older) and charges were dropped.
