Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"As someone who doesn't reside in the USA, I was wondering what would be the best way to get internet for my computer in the US for a couple of weeks? If it were Europe I know I'd look for some prepaid data. Is there anything similar offered by American carriers? A MiFi or a data SIM that I can tether from would work, but I'm trying to maintain a tight budget. Help!"
I wouldn't have voted guilty for car theft either.

FACT:
It appears Mr Eriksson may have destroyed a car which didn't belong to him. Police said the car was the property of the Bank of Scotland and was in the process of being repossessed at the time of the crash.
________________________________
The car was being repossessed, but he did obtain it in a relatively legal manner, ie he didn't break in and steal the keys. not being able to pay for a car is a civil contract matter, not a criminal matter. Otherwise, every person whose car is repossed would be considered a car thief. simply the fact that the car came to the US doesn't make that much difference. again, if you were behind on your payments, and drove your car to Canada, would simply crossing the border make you guilty of theft? No.
He also apparently didn't alter the VIN or anything else that someone stealing a car would have done.
NOT KNOWN TO BE A FACT:
The word on the street is the Ferrari was obtained through fraudulent financing along with a Mercedes SLR.

if this were true, then they probably could have gotten a conviction. it apparently was not 100% true. also, if it were true, that would lead to a separate charge, ie, even if they didn't find him guilty of theft, they could still find him guilty of several counts of fraud.
So, yeah, it sucks that he crashed a nice car, but he didn't steal it.
