Then you break his legs with the baseball bat. Arms, too, if he actually damaged the car. -- Lanny Chambers St. Louis, MO '94C |

Someone got into a friend's old Hyundai, parked in the basement garage of an apartment building. He took a hammer to the ignition and then gave up. (Maybe saw too many movies, was expecting to find two wires, you rub them together and the car starts.) He took about $3 in change and a wrench that was under the passenger seat. Did not touch the stereo or a coat that was in the back seat. There is nothing about this car that makes it stand out. Sometimes your number comes up. |

And to the OP - Seeing that image of your ruined convertible top really ticked me off. I hope the little ******* that cut your top rots in hell. You should never mess with another persons vehicle...ever. Chris |
