RE: [Chevelle-list] Vandalized!!!

This kind of thing is ridiculous.  Times are sad, when people just destroy others possessions out of jealousy or ignorance.  It seems that theft and vandalizing things is the new generations way of dealing with jealousy.  A friend of mine had his truck stolen two nights ago, right from his shop.  Apparently the crooks waited for him to get the project completed, then brought a trailer to the shop in the middle of the night, and drove away with it.  There are a lot of people up here on the lookout for his rig.  Sad to say, but I’m sure it’s gone forever.  The parts will probably show up before long on the market.    I’m glad I live on the Air Force base, it allows me to sleep a little easier, but on the VERY few nights that the Chevelle isn’t in the garage, I catch myself peering out the windows of the house frequently to check on it.  It’s a shame that people can’t be trusted.  Didn’t they used to hang horse thieves?  I figure I have the equivalent of 400+ horses under my hood, so that’s a whole lot of neck stretchin’ if some one steals it!  (Where’s Marshall Dillon when ya need him?)   SARGE �Gunsmoke Addict   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 22, 2004 6:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-list] Vandalized!!!    My Chevelle was vandalized last night.  I didn't care that they stole all the loose stuff and I am grateful the stereo and speakers were still in place, they could have done some real damage getting them out.    What really gets me is that these little jerks lit fireworks off INSIDE THE CAR!  I thank God the whole car didn't burn up as it possibly could have.  It burned the seats, the floor and the aftermarket gauges.  It left behind that burned smoke residue and melted plastic where they finally burned out so it melded into the seats.  It might have been smoke bombs, I dont know.  There was one left in there that didn't go off and I am really glad it didn't as it looked like it would have done some real damage, again ... thank you Lord!    Obviously it was some really dumb kids and I don't think it was personal but it really irritates me to get violated like this.  That was one of the really nice parts of my Chevelle, a near perfect original interior.  I got most of it cleaned up OK but the front bench seat is ruined and so are the gauge faces.  Obviously I am going to have to change some things around here in the area of security.   Thanks for listening!!!   Darren
