The brainiacs who stole our car left a couple of their belongings behind. The first was an e-mail that was printed out for some clerk at Austin Community College. It has a couple names, a social security number, and a a post-it note with an e-mail password on it. The second thing was a pair of prescription, rose-colored sunglasses in a Laura Ashley case. The third was a piece of window metal from a 1995 Honda, which means they stole more than one car Saturday night. As for Betsy 2, I’m guessing that they had to abandon her quick. It probably had something to do with the crack in the windshield. Who knows.
Either way, we’re getting THE CLUB this week, and I’m also thinking about pulling the wire that runs from the distributor to the ignition every night. We’ll see. I’m also thinking about finding the person the e-mail was addressed to, and doing this.
The club is pretty useless, since it’s easy to cut through the steering wheel rim. You might consider this:

That thing is pretty awesome — although $400 is pretty pricey. Really, if someone wants to steal your car, they’re gonna steal it. In the case of the Club, you can just saw through the steering wheel, but my insurance guy said most car thieves looking for joyrides just approach Hondas with a screwdriver, not a hacksaw. In most joyride situations, if they see a Club, they’ll probably just say, “To hell with it,” and move on to the next Honda that doesn’t have one. But that thing DOES look awesome…
the guy who plays smokey from TBL is a buddy of mine and he lives down there –knowing jimmie he might be interested in helping out should you chose to confront “larry”
you know smokey! that is too much…
Fair enough. I am so looking forward to off-street parking. Someday!
While I sympathize with your trauma, I finally saw “GL” recently, so your headline made me laugh out loud. May you met out the justice you deserve.
nope….just enough! ;)
