For stealing the stereo out of my El Camino in front of Kari's house Friday night. Surely you felt that since it was a gift from a friend, that I wouldn't be quite as heartbroken to find it missing. I hope you're enjoying the Buzzcocks CD that I just bought too, although you probably just scored some meth or something with the proceeds.

I must say that I was touched that you left me your flashlight as a consolation prize. I needed one for that car; having it will let me pull the Mag light I had in it into the house so that I might be able to use it to beat you the next time you come around for more handiwork.

Come to think of it, don't come back. Ever. I'm presently lobbying various politicians and judges to see if I can make the punishment for theft (and trust me, you *will* be found eventually) having your hands repeatedly run over by my El Camino. I think I'll let my friend Neil drive; he does way better burnouts than me.

In other news....played a show with the band on Saturday. It would have been great if the P.A. hadn't completely sucked, which it did. Oh well.

I had a a similar thing happen to me when they ripped off a cb from my bronco one day... but left my Alpine stereo. I was left laughing more than anything. Apparently my thief was going for the quick pawn shop score.

I remember I started reading a bunch of car security websites immediately after. One solution that caught my eye was where a person mounted a bunch of razor blades in the areas around the stereo, behind the dashboard. It didn't stop a guy from stealing his stereo, but there was a mess of blood from the razors which at least brought some satisfaction to the guy.

Yep, I've thought about doing that...might not be a bad idea. Of course, I could totally see me forgetting about it.

That's what you get for Living After Midnight

Another idea may be to install a heavy mechanical contraption triggered by movement in the front seats; said contraption would (upon trigger) then clock the stereo thief with shards of copies of the Judas Priest album "British Steel" taped to an 8-lb sledge.

or maybe

It justs locks them in the car and blares the *second* Quiet Riot album at full volume until they finally kill themselves in agony?

Expanding on Cory's idea...

Why not some car alarm that silently raises extremely sharp spikes out of the front seat backpads then quickly "Iron Maiden"s the thief, messily, into the dash?

That's definitely the most butt-rock thief punishment, IMHO.

Remember when I had the Laserdisc player in college? I think the only movie I had was Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey....

Yes, it was Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. We bought it during a midnight run to Wally World. As a matter of fact, My cousin gave me the player and I traded it to you for the harmonizer pedal! (I still have the pedal!)

Sorry to hear about your stereo, dude. I've had a number of them walk off from me. The worst was in my Wrangler when I had the soft top on it. You don't lock the doors, because they'll just cut up your top to get in. Well, they didn't bother to check the doors and cut the top up anyway. No one ever said that thiefs were smart.
