One time I pulled into a Honda dealership with about 12-15 new Accords on blocks.

LOL, same thing happened here in Arlington, TX at a Chrysler dealership off of I-20. All of the Hemi Chrysler 300s were on blocks. The dealer was asking for it since they had non-working lighting on that part of the lot and the dealer was located in a slightly remote area...

Did you ask if he had aftermarket wheels? I guessing yes, but people will steal anything for a buck nowadays.

What's wrong with people these days? Why don't people save their money towards something and just buy it when they reach that goal?

This is sickening to look at. I hope the owner gets everything worked out and able to still sell for a good price.

Years ago I pulled up to a specialist Corvette dealer in NorCal to find 15 or so of his 'vettes with slashed tires. I wonder what the owner did in his spare time......

Ya know, there are things I wish I didnt have to share, but this one hit home for me....

So true man!

I was telling someone the other day that there is no such thing as a "bad neighborhood" anymore... the "bad neighbors" will just travel to where ever you live now!
