69 chevelle nomad STOLEN.. almost
Get this..
Tonight, AT WORK, someone jimmied the steering column on my 69 chevelle, trying to steal it!
Stupid phuk, he had no idea how to jimmy an older model steering column. If he had KNOWN what he was doing, my ride would be gone.
Was it locked? hell no. It's easier to just give them access. Rather would have a missing stereo, and not a missing stereo + broken window.
Another employee was not as lucky. His ride was gone. Was it locked? YES.
I want a battery cut off switch. I seem to remember seeing one which installed in the fender, and was keyed. As much as i would hate to punch a hole in the fender, it would be a small price to pay for peace of mind. Looked in my Summit catalog, but they don't have exactly what I want. Anyone familiar with the exact product I want?
As it is, my steering column is now phuked up. I guess I'll beat it back into shape. The damage is not really that bad, and it's not like it is a show car or anything.
Best news is: I park my car where the camrea is in full view. The little bast WILL be on film.
There may be PAYBACK.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
