How did that guy rig his coil to give a 20,000 volt jolt to anyone
tampering with his car? I think I'd like to do that to my truck.
After a particularly rough night on the graveyard shift, I came out of
work this morning to find that someone had smashed in a window on the
Ranger and rifled through my glove box, and any other parts of the truck
they could reach from the window. The only thing missing -get this- was
my nearly full trash bag. Yes, somebody smashed my window and stole a
bagful of used kleenex and candy wrappers! I guess they didn't like my
taste in music, since all the cassettes are still there. They even left
the wallet with my license and registration in it. I can't imagine what
they thought was in that bag that they took, but I would have loved to
have seen the crook's face when he realized what he stole. Fortunately,
I don't leave valuables in the truck; one hour this morning at the auto
glass place (insurance will pay), and 5 minutes spent with the heavy
duty vac at the car wash, and everything is back as it was.
But I'm still PISSED OFF!!!! I feel so VIOLATED!! I want that 20,000
volt burglar alarm!! I don't care if it's illegal!!
Phew - I feel better. Thanks for letting me vent, gang.
