That's the only way to describe what happened, and that also describes how I want to beat the person who did it.
As you all probably know by now, I work at a bar. Well, I am unamused by the indignities that happen to my car while I am at work. I got a few scratches last week, but I am slowly managing to counteract the rage I feel at idiots scratching my car, mostly due to the number of scratches and dings I have. When I get it repainted, that will change.
Today I was filling the tank and I noticed that my antenna was gone. That's it, just an antenna. Why the hell someone would steal my antenna escapes me, unless they were trying to replace theirs after some one else stole it. Even so, it's a colossal pissoff for me. I know it's not a big thing, but that's part of the problem. If they had the decency to smash a window or steal the whole car, I could get something out of it.
$30 for a new antenna. Not a real big expense, but it's the principle. The car's worth about $5,000 now, but to me it'll always be worth the $20,000+ we paid for the thing.
Inconsiderate buggers. If I ever catch them, I'm going to wrap the antenna around their necks and kick their teeth in.
>:(

don't you have a mercedes in storage, under a cover? I'm sorry to hear that boss, it would tick me off too!
-
Yeah, that does suck. That's $30 you could have spent towards a new multitool.
Some people think they are cool when the vandalize stuff. I'll never understand that.
-
It's the the utter pointlessness to it that allways get's me, I always think of a couple of beavis and butthead types doing it, and bragging to each other about being such mindless arseholes >:(
If you need someone to hold them down while you kick there teeth in, let me know ;)

Can't we send the lighties, and save on postage :D

I've had the same happen to me Def. Although they actually broke it off rendering the thing useless so they didn't even gain anything out of it. ::)
-
In Chicago, the homeless and derelict break off antennas to either smoke crack with or to sell to other crack users. Whenever we'd head into the city the last one out had to unscrew the antenna and toss it in the back seat.
-
How do you smoke crack (or anything) with an antenna? :think:
Anyways, my antenna retracts into the rear quarter 8)
My CD antenna is on with a heavy magnet, and they'd have to cut the coax cable to get it anyways, rendering it useless really. I'm more worried of someone popping off one of my wheel caps that cover the lug nuts...it's a 9"-10" round peice of plastic with the Cadillac logo on it...that's worth about $20-$30 on ebay. ::)
-
would it be bad to replace your antenna with one that is razor sharp all up and down it! course you'd have to clean up blood all over your car...
-
A retractable one will be about $200 installed. I already looked into that!

My Nana's boyfriend, he owns his own wrecker business. He has had about some 200 plus cars and trucks.. he said that when he used to go up to Lowell that people would try to steal stuff off his cars so he put razorblades under the bumper in the front because that is what whoever it was wanted to steal. Ge came out of the bar and the bumper was covered in blood!
-
I had a friend that did that with his stereo. Thieves got cut to pieces when stealing the stereo and so took it out on the rest of the car, tearing up the rest of teh dash with a crowbar.
Some days it doesn't pay to make people pay.
I knew another guy who had one of those pager alarms that sent him a message whenever someone was messing with his car. He beat the hell out of the guy who was trying to steal his car then got charged with assault.

-
HAHA.. Def, I was meaning to ask you- what did you used to do when you used Wilma?/!
-
I worked in very violent and dangerous areas. I was a security speSmurfpillst who specialized in hardcore or high risk security jobs and some places were bad places to introduce weapons into. I also broke strike lines a few times.
Basically did things the Police unions won't let you do! :P
Def
-
I hate senseless vandalism. I had a truck a while back that got smashed up pretty good along with 6 other cars in the neighborhood all in one night. The people took a cinder block from my neighbors driveway and threw it through my winshield damaging the hood and the front fender along with the drivers side door. I really felt bad for the elderly man up the street who just bought a (brand new at the time) ZX2 S-10 who awoke to find all his windows and lights broken out with a fencepost jammed through the windshield. If you have ever seen the movie american history x, that is what I would like to do to them if I ever caught them(you know, the put your mouth on the curb scene.)
Def, I feel your pain man, more than you could imagine.
-
I agree- but I'd almost have preferred them really pounding on my car as it's insured against almost everything. With my driving record it was only a few dollars a month difference between minimal and maximum coverage, so I went for the complete package. Unfortunately there's a $500 deductible, which means basically any piddly little things like door dings, antenna theft and freelance stereo removal comes out of my pocket.
Those piddly little things can add up and break you just as bad as major repairs.

Things like that used to be done as some kind of initiation.As aggravating as it is,count yourself reasonably lucky;here in my little corner of the world,stealing catalytic converters has become a big thing.

I saw an article about kids stealing Catalytic converters a few days ago but forgot to read it... why are they taking them?
-
Around here in the OH-KY_WV Tristate, catalytic converters are being stolen for the little bit of platinum,and a couple of metals they contain to sell at re-cycling centers.I guess converters may have all of 2 dollars worth of platinum in them.
Since these re-cycling centers opened nothing is safe,including cemetery urns that are made of bronze,as well utility lines.In the past year or so,at least 4 people have been electrocuted trying to steal copper from live power lines.
:oops:
I forgot to add that it's mostly done to get some easy money to buy drugs

Why do you say "easy" money? Getting electrocuted or disassembling cars seems like hard work!
-
It's been a while since I did any work on them but isn't a cat basically held on by a fancy hose clamp on either end? It shouldn't be too hard to take off- the hard part would be getting under one of today's cars to get at it and finding a way to transport enough of them to be worthwhile, but also wouldn't get you caught.
We have a similar problem with tailgates up here. Truck tailgates rust faster than any other component so they are in high demand- folks steal them constantly to make a few extra bucks on the sly from wreckers, who make significant cash off them, and since there's no way to trace a tailgate, it's almost impossible to get caught. The wrecker just has to make certain the gate doesn't match the color of the truck whose owner he's selling it to.

Easy as opposed to putting in 8 hours a day doing honest work for wages.

Mostly it's the car dealerships that have been hit by cat thieves,but private individuals have had their cars hit by the "cat" burglars,and they apparently use a Sawzall.
-
I wonder how the police will draw a chalk outline under my car if someone trys to steal my cat. :)
In the northern Ohio valley copper theft is in the news every night. They just busted a ring of copper thieves not long ago that stole some $75,000 in copper from a coal mine site. They were stealing large amounts of rubber coated copper wires and burning off the rubber and taking it to the recycling center. I hate recycling centers for just this reason. When a guy comes in and offers to cash in large industrial copper stuff the owner of the center should be alarmed because they know damn well that they did not get it legally.

Sorry to here about your car Def >:( Theres no need for it .

It's a real pisser when the brain dead get to your property.The favourite game up here seems to be kicking the wing mirrors off cars or jumping on them to break the windshield I would understand if somebody shot the ******ds
-
If they did something significant like smashing the windshield and tearing off the wing mirrors I could pay my $500 deductible and get the whole car repaired and painted. At least then there would be some kind of benefit, but this piddly little crap is a major pain in the butt.
Why would auto manufacturer's include a tire iron with each car if they didn't mean for you to use it on some vandalizing punk?

Remember to clean it with cold running water to stop anything sticking then bleach it helps with the D.N.A

This is kind of off topic but
Def, i noticed your avatar picture... Do you own Danes?
-
No, although I do love Danes too. That's the head of a dogo argentino or Argentine Mastiff. I had one for eight and a half years and he was the best dog I'd ever seen.
Smart, tough, loyal... Pete and I worked security together in many nasty places and we always came out of it breathing- sometimes not much better than that, but I'd hate to think about what would have happened had we not been there for each other!

Did any low flying planes ever get stuck in his mouth?
-
If they did, there was never any trace of them afterwards!
Def

Like I said before, that really is an impressive maw on that doggy, were they hunting dogs originally??
-
They were bred for hunting wild boar and mountain lions- basically the meanest animals on the planet. As I understand it, the traditional method of hunting is to send dogs out that catch and hold these dangerous creatures until the hunter arrives and slits the prey animal's throat with a knife.
Now, do the math: 80-100 pound dog vs 400-500 pounds of very upset bacon. Factor in the prolonged exposure since the hunter is likely somewhat behind the dog, not being able to run as fast, and you either have an immeasurably tough dog or you go home minus one dog.
The interesting thing is that while the dogs (from what I saw with Pete) have an amazing prey drive (one of Pete's favorite toys was a laser pointer- he'd chase it for hours!) they have little or no killer instinct. Pete chased cats, birds, balls, frisbees etc but never harmed any of them. Ok, he ate a frisbee or two, but he never intentionally hurt anything that was alive. He just loved to chase things.
There are some videos on YouTube of these dogs hunting, but I'd suggest you only check them out if you aren't squeamish. They are pretty graphic at times.

Just as well I'm not squimish then :D, I thought they had the look of hunting dogs about them, in terms of size the looks similar to Irish Wolf Hounds, but I think petes breed have a lot more power by the look of them :)
-
They are somewhat smaller than wolfhounds. He was smaller than my husky, but with more raw power than a Detroit diesel. When camping once I tied him and Chinook to the bumper of my old GMC Tracker while I set up camp. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed the truck moving and when I turned, concerned about the wellbeing of the dogs tied to it, I noticed they were pulling it. They almost walked away with my truck! :D
Having been on the opposite end of those leashes many times myself (twice a day for 8 years) I can say that the majority of the pulling power was coming from Pete!

They do look all muscle :o, what was there stamina like ??? did they need to eat and drink a lot, or about the same as your average alsatian ???
Mind you my old terveran was like that, she only weighed about 5 stone, but the power she had was increadable :)
-
Here's an interesting story regarding how much Pete would eat.
I have a dog food dish with a large barrel on the back for food storage. The barrel holds 20 pounds of food, and gravity keeps the bowl full. With two dogs, I had to fill the barrel once a week, and now, with Pete gone, I fill it about every 5-6 weeks.
He was also never even remotely overweight. You could just make out the outline of his ribs and his stomach was always slim enough to wrap your hands around and touch your fingers. I don't know where all that food went, but he was a very solid dog. He was smaller than Chinook, but weighed a good 10 pounds more than Chinook.
As for stamina, well he never slowed down for anything- when he was younger I tried to tire him out before I would go to work (the odd times I worked without him) but playing frisbee in the park. He would run in the hot sun for over an hour before even looking for a drink. When he finally would stop running, I'd load him into the car and in the 5 minutes it took us to get home, he'd be rested enough to go again! In an attempt to tire him out even more, we dropped the frisbee and started playing fetch with a wooden dumbell. All that accomplished was for him to come running back with a bloody face because he's pounce on it!
Def
-
I know dogs have a much higher metabolism than us humans, but that is still bloody impressive :), would you get that breed again or try a different one ???
-
That is perhaps the finest breed I have ever encountered and I would happily get another one. They are pretty rare in Canada though, but luckily I have a few friends in Argentina now. I don't know what is involved in importing a puppy, but it's a step in the right direction!
Of course, if I ever manage to realize my dream of opening a kennel for the rehabilitation of "problem" dogs then I'll probably end up with a number of breeds that weren't of my choosing. I don't have a problem with that either. I guess it will all depend on opportunity.

Well for my part I'd recommend a tervuren, the only downside to the breed is they can be highly strung and have mental issues (I had to have mine put down as it had canine schizophrenia)

-
The guy I started working canine with had a Belgian Malinois, which I think is the same breed, isn't it? Very closely related if not the same dog.
Duke was a great dog too, but had a very wild streak in him. He was a great match for Pete- he was much bigger than Pete, but Pete was much more powerful and faster. Duke also had a tendency to ignore his people when called, but Pete would always come back no matter what. It was great to see Pete come tearing back with Duke trying to pull the legs out from under him!
Duke was a heck of a dog too- not one you want to mess with. The place we used to work (www.emwc.com) was in an industrial park, right next to a rail line. One night while talking with Duke's owner Chris, we were absentmindedly throwing a stick for Duke to fetch. One throw must have gone close to the rail because a few minutes later there was this odd sound. We looked over and here comes Duke dragging a railway tie!
Another time Duke was locked in the basement while Chris and his wife were having a bit of a party. One of Chris' friends, who was amazingly drunk opened the door and let Duke out. Duke ran from person to person scaring the crap out of people while Chris tried to catch him. The drunk guy leaned over saying something like "what a cute doggy, give's a kiss!" and Duke, who didn't know this guy, jumped up and ripped his lips off! Well, just his bottom one, and then only one side... Chris sends the dog back down to the basement and rushes the friend to the emergency room with his lower lip just hanging off one side of his face. When they get there, the doctors refuse to work on him because he is way too drunk. I know this isn't funny, but I can't help but laugh at this story because I am trying to picture Chris trying to get a guy with no lower lip to drink coffee to sober him up so they can stitch his lip back on!
Def
-
Trust me mate that is a funny story :D
A malanois is related to a teverun, but they are very different dogs, both tervs and gronies are working dogs, and have a very, very keen sence of social order, once they've bonded with you, they would never allow anything to happen to you (like all good dogs) they are fearsomely clever dogs too :)
-
I forgot the best thing about Duke and Pete running around- Duke was dark colored and Pete was all white so they'd disappear and when they'd come back, Pete would be covered in grass stains and brown mud stains!. You knew Duke was the same but the dirt didn't show on his coat so he looked the same as when they took off!
It was just so funny to see them both come back, one looking untouched and the other looking like he'd been put through the ringer!
Pete was also very protective of me. He was never violent or aggressive about it, but if he felt someone was too close he'd stand between us and lean into their legs until they stepped back. When I got married, if I went to bed first, Pete wouldn't let Kim into bed with me! I'd have to get up, take Pete out of the room so Kim could crawl into bed, then go back to bed myself, and Pete would curl up on top of me, which was his favorite place to sleep. We did that for weeks!

Tell me about it- it was about 1am and no stores were open so I had to go to bed with him smelling like that and head out first thing in the morning to buy tomato juice. Of course, since he is white, bathing him in tomato juice just dyed him pink! He didn't seem so intimidating then! :P

Any way def- GORGEOUS dog! I own 1 Black great dane, he was a rescue dog so he is not very well trained we struggle with him alot, but its worth it.
He was under fed and abbused as a puppy so he is still very skinny put he is putting on some weight. He is currently around 140 pounds and he stands 4 legged about 4 feet high or higher cant really eye that kind of stuff.
Any way, Very touching storys about your dogs. I consider buying a new puppy and taking a lot of time to train him now. :)

I totally agree with you, Def.. I live in a pretty good neighborhood, and some kids went in my wife's car (unlocked ::) ) and took some things out of her wallet..

Lets see :think:. Yesterday you were married. Today you have been engaged 7 years . But 3 months ago on 12/31/08 you were engaged 3 years. Interesting :think: :ahhh :pok: :pok:
:oops:

Well I was the victim of another stupid and senseless crime again. My gas cap on my Jeep seems to have walked off sometime in the last few days. This stuff really pisses me off, like you wouldn't imagine, but I replaced it with a locking one, so at least the little buggers will have to work to steal it again.
I am looking around to see if I can spot some little gang banger wannabee with a gas cap hanging around his neck on a gaudy fake gold chain. Then I'll offer him the tire iron and matching bumper... :twak:

LOL! :D
Why did you think I have a locking gas cap on mine, the stock one lasted two weeks in the apartment complex I used to live in!
I guess I am kind of surprised mine lasted this long. I have often thought about getting a locking gas cap, or one of those locking covers, but I never did. Of course a gas cap is something I wouldn't replace until I needed to, and the gas covers I was looking at were all for the JK or were chrome. I wanted black to match the rest of the Jeep! :P

Count yourself lucky that's the only thing you lost, prior to the gas cap someone pryed off the toyota emblem off my old camry's trunk with a screwdriver, in the same neighborhood. ::)

That is true...
Someone got into my Jeep one day last summer and stole some change out of the cup holder and an OtterBox I keep my cell phone in when it rains and that was pretty frustrating, but that was probably one of those days I left the top down. My own fault I suppose, but still it was annoying that some a**hole got into my truck and took what he wanted. I felt a little violated, but there really wasn't much I could do about it either.
I'd love to set up some kind of weight sensitive stun gun in the seat, and hook it to a car alarm transmitter- activate it when I leave the Jeep, and deactivate it when I come back, and anyone climbing into the seat in the meantime gets a nice surprise.... >:D
But, with my luck, they'd probably soil themselves and I'd get stuck with the smell.
