How to foil a wheel or tire thief.

Whoa, you know, I'm just going to say this, I don't care what kind a security device you use to protect something, if someone wants it that bad, they will get it.

And all this court stuff, and stolen possesion of stolen property talk, wow, relax there buddy, no need to call someone brain dead when looking for a deal. Now, I'm going to a swap meet on Sunday, where guys, like me go through there garage/shop and take notice of things that they've been sitting on for while with an intended use but it never came up. Thus, heck, sell it for a couple of bucks and get rid of it (and unfortunately come back with the same amount, if not more junk than you left with )

And actually, here's a good example for ya, I have set of American Racing rims I've been sitting on for over 7 years now. I could fetch a good 300 for them. But I want them gone, I don't care anymore, first hundred bucks takes em off my hands and out of my way. So that rebuts your statement regarding a good deal has to be becasue the items are "hot".

I dunno, maybe it's all exposure from being with my 100% Bohemain wife for 10 years now, Cause man I tell ya, good luck trying to get receipt at swap meet or garage sale to back you up in court if you can't use your own judgement on a deal.

You took it out of context. I mean like a slick dude saying, PPPSSTTTT, hey buddy, want a deal on some nice wheels? I doubt anyone would present stolen property at a swap meet but if they do and the owner finds it they will have to explain to the Cops how you came to have stolen property in your posession. I know good deals happen, but all I am saying is what I said before, which is; "As you go through life, in all your business dealings of any kind, BE CAREFUL and don't get burned!"

HeHeHeHe . . . Gas went down to $2.28 so going to gas up the Taurus and do some cruisin' this week end. Friend of mine in Cocoa, FL says it still $2.67 there. Have a super week end and drive safe.

Oh, I agree with you 100% on that aspect. It just sounded like you saying that anyone who got a good deal on something without a receipt should know the item is stolen. No harm no foul.

$2.28/gal

Haven't seen a price like that since,.................... I can't remember,.

Roger that. Yes Sir, you talkin' to an old geezer that would make Fred Sanford wheelin' and dealin' look like a rookie. Me, I go with ZZ Top and them "Cheap Sunglasses", . . . get a car full of long legged wimmens, couple of jugs of Mad Dog 20-20, designate a driver, twist one and go cruisin' . . . . ! !

Yeah man, I got me lickin' my own mouth.
