Tell me about it, At least park it farther from the crime scene........ They police finally got that integra towed. The police said the car came up owned with the same last name of the perp that got caught..

The second perp got away... He tried to take off with the car, i saw him down the block. Lucky for me the smokaholic, when out for a smoke.

I got a tough day ahead of me. They gonna call me for Q&A. There goes me and my crime fighting days. Lucky it wasnt my car, i would have beaten them senseless. Probably would've sat in jail for the night.

Nah, you plead Insanity. You love your car so insanely much that its like they assaulted a loved one and you went to protect them from further assault by laying a good beat down.

I'm in Brooklyn(Bay Ridge). It seems like the Maxima's are targets on my block.

A couple years ago, I think the hot items were the rims. Someone robbed my neighbor's rims.

They really gotta trim some of the trees on my block. It seems that the trees block the light from the street lamp. Which makes any cars a easy target.

Well, I always park my car in well lit areas.

I know, I'm worried about that. But there were some other people walking down the block. But the dumbass pull the lights as someone was walking down.

I have an Idea......make a timer attached to explosives in the head lights. When the lights are stolen from the car, the timer goes off and head lights explod 5 minutes later.... ...maybe than low lifes will stop stealing head lights.

I got one jackass off the road, they towed his car.

My friend the cop said that he'll never get his integra back. (They keep the evidences.) So no need for him to retrofit our HIDs in his car. Unless he gets another to retrofit.

There can be another way. Just like in the movies (SPEED). The scene with the bag of money, and an ink bomb explodes in the guys face. Retrofit that in our cars, see who doesnt recognize those HID theives.

Set it just enough for thieves to pull on the corners and from the cracks of the hood out comes the ink in his eyes. The Ink will be real easy to clean off the cars finish anyways.

I know one was a hispanic dude, the other dude was black, but he had the last name of rivera.(They were definitely in the wrong neighborhood, trying to jack lights.)

Its not really parking in the street, it has to be a well lit area. This Maxima was in a shaded area of the street.

Coming up with something that will spray out homemade pepperspray, the trigger will be a shock sensor.

Yeah you should have taken his integra and stripped it. Sell his parts! That'll teach them a lesson. I'm sure he probably had a few decent rice rocket accessories worth something.

My police friend said he's never getting back his car, they keeping it as evidence. The city will probably take it and auction it. Since it was used for a crime.

They are so stupid. They risk their car for a $300 set of HID, that they can buy.

...and you didn't slash his tires, bust out all his windows, throw his battery through his windshield, rip up his seats, set his car on fire, and give it a push so it would roll down the street right past them???

Just have one of those big ass animal nets. Like in the cartoons that leaves em hanging in trees. Then you can parade em around at the next TL meet.
