I wouldn't have bothered to put my pants on to shoot them. Like I give a **** if someone sees my boxers/**** when I'm trying to blast their ******* brains out.

I would have shot them just on principle.

When I leave the car while on a vacation or something I will take out fuses, wires, battery, shift **** haha, anything to deter my car from being a prime steal. Also at night I try to block in my car so its not last in the driveway. Small things like that help alot it seems. I'm glad you still have your Z though!
Exactly how they stole mine right from inside my garage in the middle of the afternoon. They scoped it out and knew when I wasn't home because my daily driver wasn't blocking the garage. Best thing is have a kill switch and/or no battery hooked up. Wish it was like the old days when you could take your steering wheel with you and didn't have to worry about a airbag in the way.

I've busted my butt all my life at one step above minium wage and when someone takes, or even worse ruins, something that it took you litterly years to save for, it grips me to no end. Everyone I know kids me because I have spend more money on locks and alarms, etc. than what I am trying to protect is worth. Its not just the thought that they rip you off, but they are actually taking part of your life because you devoted years to get something. I used to live in a real bad area of town and I not only had deadbolt locks on every interior room door, but even on the closet doors. Friends asked me why and I would tell them, "because I would laugh my butt off because they would have to break down EVERY door to find what they wanted to steal". JB

hey you too!! We can definitely use you! I like to be proactive with recruiting, we can always use some new meat to the grinder and homocidal people are great candidates for the Iraq Campaign! They will let you run around and shoot people with your ***** out! Some people call this "shooting from really long, with your shlong"

Geez man that is one of the coolest stories I have ever heard though! I just can't believe you guys shut down a chop shop? It is definitely worth while! I chased a truck one night, I think it was some people trying to reposses my sis's car because she didn't pay the note in a few months.....humm?
You defintely did your place a service by getting that dumb *** though! Congrads

While it does suck that you had a scare like that - that's awesome that you were able to expose a local chop ring...you probably saved a few more people from getting their cars yanked.

well i'm just glad i still have my baby I guess all the guys are from the Minneapolis/St.Paul area and the building is owned by a guy there also. I guess they were bringing cars from local cities as well as big cities, putting them in boxed trailers and choppin' them at this big shed that my dad followed them to. From our house you can see the shed they were in and i'd seen Semi's parked there and vehicles going in at out late at night from time to time but thought nothing of it. I'm sure this is why they picked that building as the local people probably don't think to much of it. I'm glad that they got busted too so i don't have to worry so much about my car gettin' jacked anymore. at least not from these guys. I mean, i don't blame them as it is a SEXY BITCH but it's mine and i'd be sick if they got it and it was found 2 weeks later chopped to bits. < is what i'd do. Then i would have found out who did it and And if they hadn't chopped it yet and after i did all the above for the inconvenience i'd hop in my car and away

So it does sound like this thing was bigger than just a couple of guys! Good deal!

Yeah, when my car was stolen, I felt so violated. Here in Cali, we're not allowed to shoot someone on your property if they are stealing something. If they did, and I would have caught them ****'s they would have had some 44 mag slugs in them!

I knew that my 383 and Art Carr tranny would be gone, as well as my two tool boxes full of snap on tool & factory service manuals. But when they found it two weeks later, it was just a shell. All the suspension, fuel lines, interior & even glass was missing. I couldn't believe it.

Mad props go out to your dad once again!

Man, I totally agree with you. I've slaved and saved every single penny I could since I was 15-16 to get my dream car and if i saw them trying to jack my car, in the heat of the moment, I'd make sure they were away from my car and at least hit em a few times. I don't know if i'd go crazy enough to kill, but yea I'd definately aim for their asses! I'm already USAF so don't try and recruit me! lol thats to whoever mentioned that. That's awesome they didn't get ur car though! Props to dad!
