How about you buy me a plane ticket down there and we stake out the gym parking lot and beat the f*ck out of the sh*tbag with an aluminum ball bat, urinate on him/her and then call the cops from a pay phone? It would be prefect for an internet pictorial.

So tempting......

I asked the manager at the gym if he's contacted the police about the seemingly regular burglar harvesting of the parking lot...he said he did and the police essentially told him they have bigger fish to fry...like the time they pulled me over on Sunset and cited me for having no front license plate.

Oddly enough, now that they hit my H2, they probably will figure (correctly) that I will never make that mistake again.

The gym actually has a patrol going through the parking lot, but they sold too many memberships to the typical new-years-resolution crowd and I had to park way over in another section...a section they apparently don't own nor patrol: that's where I went wrong....figuring they patrolled it.

Ya know, if I was so lazy I would go out there and stake-out the lot for a wee bit of payback!

You may recall a year or so ago I got keyed in this same lot. If only I weren't addicted to racquetball....

Bahh....get an avatar, quit smoking and knock it off with the fake English accent!

Agreed. I just don't have anything else to add and I made peace with my would-be troll.

Cussing is not required. You should own them with a rapier wit, like I do.

Steve R,
I hope you're not in the core group or you shall be mine too. You have been warned.

[ShaggyZR2]

I am always correct, Hummerman.

I've been known to win at speed chess while completely under the influence of mustard gas and agent orange. Trust me, I set people straight and they LISTEN.

[ShaggyZR2]

And don't think that I don't know that this troll "Steve R" is not who he says he is or is not, not that he ever was anything other than a troll, nor should he deny trolldome, shall he pass by my rapier without being put it his troll, or not so troll, place.

Hey Steve R:

Best solution is to get the alarm system...saved a gal in our group one day from a hit and run...caught the idiot before he got away. She had a pretty nice 2-way "Viper" unit...signaled her from a couple of blocks away.

It's a shame there is so much garbage on most of the threads on this forum...certainly didn't start out that way. Now to discuss anything, it turns into a "gay" toilet discussion. Perhaps we can start a properly moderated section that will stay clean, and have any losers banned/censored/deleted.

I guess maybe that might be the Tech section....then perhaps this section title can be changed to Potty Mouth Discussion for losers and poseurs.

Sorry for the break-in Steve...the gym still doesn't have a parking lot camera after all the issues there?

Steve,
Sorry to hear about your break in. If you decide to replace the plastic crap w/ the billet buckets and handles, give Rhonda a call at Bones Enterprises in Atlanta (678 990 2876). She will sell you a set of SMA billet chrome door buckets and handles for about $200 shipped. I picked up a set from her, and they are awesome.

[Steve R]

There's a chance I won't do a darn thing and just leave the damage the way it is...it's not very noticable & I'm pretty lazy. Actually very lazy.

BUT if I do something, those replacements Michael spoke about sound great, thanks Michael!!!! Hope I can get them in black.

As for the gym, they ran out of space in their main parking lot and I had to park far away where they don't patrol or have cameras. I didn't realize they didn't patrol that area. This is a problem that occurs each year when membership blossoms as result of New Year Resolutions. There is another area I could park in where it's darker, BUT they do patrol & have cameras. Regardless, I will never leave anything valuable in my H2 again...when at the gym.

Honestly, I really don't care that much...in the course of life we all fall victims to crime at some point or another. It's not so much the money but the hassle of getting a new wallet & especially the DMV line to get a new license.

If only I had an english accent and the ability to create phantom accounts on this forum......that would solve everything!

BUT I COULD ALWAYS THROW ANOTHER SHRIMP ON THE BARBY!!!
