I got a call from my buddy today. Someone stole his '81 Cutlass Cruiser wagon right off of his driveway. He didn't even know the car was gone until he got a call from the sheriff's office at 6:30 AM. They asked him if he knew where his car was, he said yeah, on my driveway. They said "NO", they just recovered it. Apparently it was blocking someones driveway. They ran out of gas and left the car there. They broke the column, punched the driverside lock and they were off.
Fortunately he got the car back. He just had to add gas and started it the same way these pricks did.
They only took a set of jumper cables from the car...that was it.
I told him that he was lucky he got the car back. He was out there trying to locate a replacement column. He said there was no G-body cars in the junkyards. After a few calls he located one for $70.00.
I think it's time I took precautions to keep my car from getting boosted. It just goes to show you no one's car is safe these days.
