My wife's '96 XJ 2-door has been broken into, yet again. This is the second time in a few weeks. I'm really getting sick of this horse shit. It was stolen a few years ago, and seems to be a target lately. Fortunately, I no longer keep anything inside the vehicle. I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering selling it. It pisses me off that I can't keep something decent around here without someone else fucking with it.

Probably wouldn't do any good to catch the bstrds on video either. It's not Seattle but Everett isn't far behind them with the liberal stupidity.
Well, my wife can finally stop bitching about the aftermath of the re-plumb 6 months ago. Got the very last bit of the recovery work done - laying the tile under the water heater. Wife is out of town for the week, so it was an excellent time to get this done as I had to turn off the water to the entire house for 2 days! Heater is now finally back in place, water is heating, and I'm off for a much deserved shower!
Do you own a shovel? If so, I have an idea that might solve your problem. Place an airtag in the vehicle and leave the keys in the ignition. Track them down around 9:00 AM, when the dirt bags are sleeping. You know the rest.

Yeah, if only...
Think I'm just going to put it on the market. Hate to do it, but I'm really over this nonsense. Maybe someone on the forum will pick it up.

Thought you were moving anyway?
There’s a video floating around of a guy who booby trapped his truck since it had been broken into so much. He rigged what was basically a flash-bang up to blow when they opened the door. Sure it caused damage; but seemed satisfying to watch the security cam footage!
Still lots to do before that happens. The struggle to make it so is a whole 'nuther Piss & Moan subject, altogether.

Core charges. What the f#*k is up with core charges on (what feels like) everything? My understanding was that core charges at wrecking yards and "parts houses" were geared toward rebuildable products (ie: brake calipers and radiators), or parts that had value in their metals (old school brass-tank radiators, for instance). But as-of late, it feels like damn near everything has a core charge. I bought some switches a few days ago at a wrecking yard that had core charges on 'em. Today, it was coil springs. Seriously? Coil springs? WTF, over?

Sounds more like the idiots behind the counter at the wrecking yard just scheming to pocket consumer money. The springs could have some value as scrap metal, but the switches... zero excuse!

We have a Honda Element that the Mrs drives in the winter. The brakes on it have always been a pain. Ordered Raybestos rear calipers and rotors with their "element 3" coating which has held up well to the Midwest perpetual brine and salt bath.
The Calipers were $57....the core charge? $60 Ho Lee Fook!
A core charge equal to our greater than the item itself qualifies as BOHICA...,"Bend over, here it comes again"
buy it from an American company, then get their tweaker spray.

F****** postal service. I have to send a package to the wife who is in Maine. This is not an easy task for me because of my hand tremors.
I find a box to fit her meds (she is staying longer than planned) so she won't run out. I finally get the box taped, slap a priority label on then try to find someone to write the address on the label since I can't hold a pen.
I take the package to the post office on Monday the woman says the package will arrive on Wednesday. Well the wife is out of meds and the tracking says the package is still in Florida.
She had to get her heart doctor to give Walgreens in Maine two scripts for 5 days of pills. I don't know if she will get her meds in 5 days, or before she flies home.
Priority my Ass.
