Default Its not safe

Some people may find this amusing, but I gotta feel for my neigbours.

This morning on my way to work, i pass by the neighbours and have a customary glance across their driveway. They are holden freaks and I usually mutter some profanity under my breath. Well I spot 2 SS commodores in his drive. A Red VZ and a White VX Crewman. Usually theres a sportivo and the crewman. Then I remembered that the wife was driving her bosses car around. The FBT thing for leasing. The boss has her sportivo as she took the ss up to Bathurst for a run to visit the family and a squirt in a V8 holden around the mountain.

So as I get closer I spot a wheel missing. I figured a flat, so i have a bit of a chuckle. Then I realised, 4 flat tyres, can't be. Under each rotor was a pile of 3 bricks. Seems they may have been stolen. Now I wasn't 100% sure, because previously, they had a landcruiser and was out bush and cop'd 4 flat tyres. So after getting the car home, they put the cruiser up on bricks. Then I asked what happened and they explained about the flats. So I figured, maybe this may have happened again. Just maybe

To make sure, i knocked on the door, awoke them from slumber and said "Dude, I think you have a problem. The red SS" He said yeah what about it. Well i told him, its got no wheels. Like 4 of em, gone. Bull he says. Thinking its too early for one of my holden bashing jokes. Sure enough, the wheels have been hoisted. The look of : on their faces, followed by lots of F's and C's.

I then left for work. When i got home tonight I asked what happened. Said they rang the police who didn't care, can't do squat and just logged a report, gave them the number, and they rang the boss, who contacted insurance. 6 hours later, tow truck arrived, 4 new wheels, put them on, and towed the car away out of harms way. Asked how the boss took the news. Didn't care. Had a laugh, thought it was pretty funny. Anyway, the neighbour wife, was very upset. Don't blame her.

Anyway, I just thought I'd post this up. Now if that was my XR6 out front, and my wheels were hoisted, i would be shattered. Until of course I got the insurance money and went looking for new wheels.

I sometimes leave the cars out front. Not anymore.
