[QUOTE=ak2007r6;4856716]I have worked hard for everything I have and don't want it stolen just as much as anyone else but the fact is I have insurance and materialistic items can easily be replaced, a life can't be.

You have a seriously skewed view on this IMO. Yes I would be pissed but taking someones life cause they stole something seems a little drastic. What if it was your son or daughter that felt like rebelling in their teenage years and was shot cause they decided to rip off the neighbor? Still ok with that cause obviously your kid is a meaningless **** right? Or is it just if it's someone you don't know that makes it ok to shoot them?

Not endorsing stealing but I think taking someones life is a pretty big step cause they stole something, the legal system will agree....

i wouldnt kill anybody over it but i sure as hell would like to bust some *** for it, as for if my son did it (just a statment) if he got caught and they beat the **** outa him while id be mad about it id be just as mad at him for being put in that spot. the legal system is a joke anyway IMO. (not starting a pissing match)

Running boards were damaged, and the tow truck driver did some damage when he dragged it up on the flatbed. 22's from gm were not cheap either lol

Nah I am not either and my last post was a little more rude than intended.

Always up for a good debate or discussion.


I agree though if i had a kid that got caught doing something stupid like trying to steal something and got his *** whooped for it I would be upset but would also hope he learned his lesson. Now if someone ended his life cause of it chances are I would be in jail shortly once I found out who ended his life.



Anyways this has gotten just a little off topic, sorry bout that OP. Again sorry to see it happened to your beautiful truck.

that sucks, did he at least 'try' to be easy with it or was he in a hurry. yea i could imagine the price on the 22s. my cost on the tahoe wheels is 400 each (349 w/ 50$ core)

I wouldnt necessarily kill someone over a set of wheels but I can't say I wouldn't make sure they couldnt go anywhere until the cops showed up....

sux, all the theives need is your plates, i bet they drive a round making a shopping list writting pates down.
In the garage is the safest place i guess, but if the want them they will get them.

If someone wants something bad enough they will find a way but if you are able to keep it in your garage it's going to be a lot less obvious to people that might just be driving by looking for vehicles to hit.

My truck is always parked in my garage, if I had to keep it outside I would be investing in a nice alarm for sure.

Guns work better than alarms One in every room works for me, and yes that means the bathroom, the most vulnerable place in your house.
