I wouldnt worry bout damage, I used repo cars and thats how we got em out to hook up to them. But its prolly not a good practice to get into on a regular basis. But then I'v been know to do things simaler, in my younger days. But I would loved to have seen his face

Been there. Done that. They were parked illegally so they don't have a leg to stand on. I would. however,talk to who ever controls access to the garage and have them tighten up the control of the un authorized parking.

I can't stand inconsiderate drivers. Especially those who don't understand the pecking order of the larger more powerful vehicle. Most people don't think or don't care. Using a prybar to pull someone's head out of their butt every once in while always returns balance to human kind. Nobody got hurt and someone learned a life lesson.

No, I think that he most definitely does have a very big leg to stand on.

I don't think that really damages the car too much, though. However, you better hope that he doesn't start having front end or tranny trouble (altough if he was covered by warranty, he'd probably not come after you).


Not that I wouldn't do the same thing...

Man, I've dreamed of doing that many a time but never had the guts, out of fear for what they'd do to my vehicle in retaliation. Since you left a note before, she'll know who did it, so be careful she doesn't take 'revenge' on your truck (keying, egging, etc). Are there security cameras in your garage?

You could always carry one of those valve stem removal tools in your glove box.........be sure to put the valve stems back in, just to be nice.........did I say that?? Also get some sticky weights, like they use to balance the "fancy" wheels and stick about 3-5 oz'z on the inside of the wheel......oops, there I go again......

I never even though about the weights, I just might have to get some. I already have the stem removers though.

Well I sure hope you have trouble sleeping tonight that was an inexcusable thing to do, to a poor misguided individual.

lemme be the first to say good bye to your paint job.

That being said, One of my friends got his kia stuck in a ditch. I used my isuzu troooper to pull him out (sidways), the proceded to pull him down the road with all four of his tires sliding trying to stop me.

And my trooper has about 1/3 of your torque.

I think you may have went a little to far...... It's O.K. to think about but DON"T DO IT! as Buffard T. Justice said.

You'll find out tomorrow how much they got edited by admin.... My luck I would have a major problem the next day. They would do something to my truck and I really would loose it and do them,,, Well you know what I mean. Best thing for people like this is to let the garage attendant deal with them via a ticket, tow truck, wheel boot.

What would of been the best...Slap that ugly yellow wheel boot on it so they would have to catch a ride to get home.... Works wonders for stupid inconsiderate people. Reality check for sure. I would of paid for one myself. left it on for a couple of days too.

Buy a cheap video surveillance camera and mount it on the wall of the garage pointed towards your truck where it will be VERY noticeable.
It doesn't have to be hooked up, just visible to the possible vandal.

I have solved two problems at my work location so far with fake cameras.
