What was messed up is I had a towel in there, but took it out before I left. I could have just camped at the track, they had showers there

Oh, that looks like a "safe area" incident to me. I've seen 5-6 cars up walking to the train (when they hit a neighborhood, they don't play games...) Yet another reason to avoid Honda, really. None of it makes sense to me. But I guess it's quick money, and the chance of an altercation or anything getting dangerous is low.

True, but it does slow them down a bit and the process makes some noise -

Bubba's method is even simpler -

Screw that. I've taken off mcgaurd wheel locks with an 18mm and hammer after a dealer impacted my lug key to bits. Some 5 hours and 3 sockets for 4 wheel locks. Pretty sure I still have a few sockets with the lugs still wedged into them in the tool box.

Totally!! It is hardly a level playing field as it is. Some people/countries have access to high tech training regimes while other people have had to make do with training in bare feet. If someone wants to go out in a blaze of steroid fuelled glory and die from a burst heart or expired liver let them.
