Every time I read or see something like that....reminds me of a story. Many years back I visited a GF living in a crappy apt complex in NJ. It was in a bad area. With car break ins as well as cars being stripped in the lot fairly common place. The suspects were three teens who lived there and always hung around the complex.

Seems there were a group of Iron workers in several of the apartments, all working on a local bridge project. They had a few of their vehicles broken into and one of the guys had all of his tools stolen from his pickup.

So they decided to lay in wait for the bad guys. Got a van, tinted the side windows and set up in the parking lot one night.

I'm awakened by sirens and all this commotion one morning. They had caught three of the local kids, breaking into a car....and then basically beat the shit out of all of them. Then left them on the pavement and called the local PD.

That ended the burglaries for several months.

I love a happy ending.

I guess he can tell all his friends he has a true rock crawler.

What does one do in a situation like this? You really cant tow the vehicle. Do you go and buy new tires and rims and have them delivered to the street?
