What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

[UNGN]

Went to (GSDPnP) Ghetto South Dallas Picknpull, the one I try to avoid because the cars are usually trashed by the morons that shop there. Took my lifted Miata because the parking lot is a mine field and it doesn't have a stereo, so no worries of it being stolen. Had good luck finding some homelink chrysler sun visors for my dad, some miata parts (including a rare open timing gear DOHC valve cover from a '91 capri) and a few Jag parts and a Flip down/stay down rear license plate off an '86 Camaro for the 2+2, I check out - $36 total -score.

After check out and walk the 25 feet from from the door to my car and I notice the trunk is popped... not good. I put my parts in the trunk and notice my battery has been stolen. My 4.5 year old, $89 new, probably worth about $25, now battry. ****ing ghetto hoodrats. Don't they know people get shot in Texas for crap like that?

My AAA card in my wallet expired May 26 and I didn't have the new one. I see the store manager coming out the front door and ask if there is a security camera. He says yes and no. There is security camera on the roof of the store and it is pointing directly at my car..but its fake... nice. He tells me to go inside and see if he has a battery on the shelf that will work. I grab the smallest one.

I carry the battery out to the car and notice they ripped the battery out of the car, taking most of the positive terminal with them. Great.

I dig in my tool bag (good thing I took the whole bag in the yard) and find some vice grips and clamp the cable to the post:

I laid the spare tire up against the battery as my new hold down, the miata started on the first crank and I GTFO the hood as quickly as 1.6L would allow.

Instead of cleaning the 2+2, I spent 3 hours making new hold down brackets that work with my new, 2" larger battery and I made the miata style hold down fake. The battery is now held in place with GM style Toe clamps (that are hidden under the Miata style straps).

Good luck stealing this one, F-ing hoodrats.

Here is my prized flipdown stay down in action:

The car actually has a fuel cell in the trunk, but the button in the tunnel pops the electric truck release, to

People say 2+2's were all optioned the same, but Electric trunk release was not on all cars, including mine. I bought a 2+2 decklid off Ebay years ago, and it had an electric trunk release, so we put it on our car.

That sucks I would have wanted to kill someone

The guy obviously needed a $25 battery more than me. When you go to the ghetto you expect ghetto things to happen. It's why employers don't go there. You'd think the residents would learn this and say no to crime, but they don't.

Dallas is a Sanctuary city and threw cops under the bus for years until 5 got gunned down by a believer that criminals > laws and order. There are lots of people on the dole that think stealing from others is an acceptable way of life. Three blocks from the junkyard a week ago there was a melee caught on video with gunfire, crown vic drifting and closing down a street corner and a cop drove thru on the video and just kept on driving. 100% lawless, with the police looking the other way.

The whole place is fixing to implode and become detroit and would, if it wasn't so cheap and convenient to good paying jobs. The neighboring cities have high jobs/low crime and criminals stealing from the poor and not the rich is only reason why Dallas isn't detroit. Dallas is getting gentrified and the ghettos are bulldozed and are getting replaced with $600K condos, and the criminals know they will get shot if they try to rob their residents. When criminals get desperate and start going where the money is, all heck will break loose... but the Suburbs where I live are safe, because nearly every kid I know has trained on an assault rifle, I feel sorry for suburbs with attachments to the disappearing hoods as they are going to see more crime and killings. The scum know their cousin/uncle/brother in law/friend of a friend is less likely to shoot them and/or is a convicted felon and can't legally own a firearm.

The police can't help you. I didn't see one Dallas cop in my 75 mile roundtrip to the junkyard (and 40 of those miles were in Dallas) and I didn't even think to call them to report a stolen battery. In my town, stealing a battery gets you 1) jail and options up to and including having any illegal family member deported back to their home country. Needless to say their aren't many batteries stolen and Police have lots of times to follow up on the crimes that do happen.

I had a neighbor who was a doctor, sent back to Korea because he solicited a minor and had child p*rn on a computer. Don't do crimes in Southlake, TX, or you will be 1) dead or 2) deported.

Like I said I would have wanted to kill someone and not for the missing battery or the damage because they touched my car! I to live in one of those cities here in the people's republic of New Jersey were only criminals can have guns and if someone breaks in my house and I do what's right. .....I go to jail I'm not being political but don't get me wrong the system is broaken!

Gave thanks I no longer live in Dallas after reading the above by UNGN.

Honestly, I don't know how anyone does, housing is crazy expensive these days.

Used to be absolutely nothing north of where I lived, now the G Bush turnpike runs just a couple hundred feet from the parking lot and it appears to be built up nonstop all the way through Frisco and The Colony to 380
