Some douchebag got to my Jaguar today after lunch.

On my way to the car after work, I noticed the door was open slightly. I checked it immediately and didn''t see any tampering or fingerprints and the gascap was on just fine, so I got in the car and my empty light was on and was past E.

I went back into work to the security desk, but no one was there that could access the security cameras since they only had a lackey there and everyone else had already gone home for the day, so I have to wait until Monday to see if anything can be found. I didn''t bother calling the cops on it since he maybe got 3 gallons and I just wanted to go home after an already crappy day. And not lik e they can do anything unless this guy was dumb enough to drive his car there so we can get his plate number - which if that''s the case he''s screwed be it Friday or Monday.

Upon further inspection, there''s freshly chipped paint on the inside of the gas door wher e they pried it open, but nothing as far as damage to the outside of the car.

I bet we will see a lot more of this.

Last week my classic Plymouth Duster had it''s tank drained by someone.
Now I can''t even get it started.
I''m not too pissed about the gas itself, but the damage to the fuel system is inexcusable.
I did buy a locking gas cap for it though. I just wish it weren''t so ugly compared to the stock one.

In a few years man, shits just going to be the Road Warrior.  People will be going crazy because they will be obsessed for gasoline.  That''s why I made the transfer to the bicycle, hopefully that doesn''t get stolen too easily.

At least they didn''t punch a hole in the bottom of your tank.  That''s happening a lot now too.

Glad to see I''m not the only person dealing with assholes lately.  I just got a phone call from the bank that a "friend" wrote me a fraudulent check.

I guess the word "friend" is an over statement now..

Haha, "friend" won''t be in my vocabulary if I run into him again before I leave the ATL area before the end of the summer.  I''ve had a small problem with anger in the past.  I''ll try to refrain from breaking anything on him, or on his house (or the club I know he owns)- but I can''t make any promises...

Hey, good luck with catching whoever did this hopefully he was stupid enough to drive his car up to yours.
