Well, I got mrs humfrz's Saturns window replaced.
Yep, it cost me $196. (with my senior/AARP/military discount). I never know which one they usually take, I just throw all three on the counter and see which one sticks.
It also costs me 2 hours of my time ..... one hour to clean up all the glass (with two breaks) and one hour waiting at the glass shop ...... with a homely girl behind the desk, crappy magazines and a dumb show on the TV.
I filed a police report ...... but since no one was murdered, nothing will come of it.
It still pisses me off that some punk(s) stole my granddaughters little make-up kits. My youngest granddaughter said "I hope they use my toothbrush ...... because I already used it once and put it back in there". I reckon you have to be an 8 year old to appreciate how nasty that must be.
Anybody up for a back-in-the-day story ...... ??
It was a warm fall, back on The Ohio State University campus. Freshmen had to live in a dorm, so there I was. We had a bike rack in between the dorms. Each night, for 3 nights, a bike would disappear.
So, three of us staked out the bike rack one night by sleeping in the bushes. Sure enough, about 0300 two kids came by with bolt cutters ....... we had our men .....
We released one to go retrieve two of the bikes.....which he did, so we let him go. The other one had a smart mouth ....... so, we drug him over in front of the girls dorm, stripped him of all his clothes and tied him up to a lamp post. Yep, just left him there.
No more bikes were stolen......
