ANYWAYS(again) He had the nerve to charge me $50 to pull the car back 5 feet so he could get the truck under it, then another $50 to tow it barely a mile down the road.

con artists!

Sorry to hijack the thread

Yep some tow truck operators are worse than Lawyers.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I work with tow operators all the time. I guess I am lucky, because every one of them I work with is HONEST! These guys here are not going to charge you no $50 for pulling anything out of a ditch, and most of the time will not charge you for anything less than a 5 mile tow.

Back to the original topic.
I think most people can tell in a split second between a harmless old man waking you to unload and a crack head coming in to rob you.
That said, you should explain to him not to do that in the future.

One look at me and NOBODY comes near my truck..

But it's one of my (few) complaints about May - no pets. Ain't nobody getting into my truck with 120 pounds of all-black American Tundra Shepherd Dog protecting his territory!

As it is.. I lock the door (usually), and I have any number of things to wield or throw from the bunk. AND I have a kick like a mule.

SkiddyFisk · **^ Top** #55 09.16.2008

I wish I could bring my dog. he's just cute as a button but he will mess a ##### up if he thinks they're gonna hurt one of his humans.

Still (and I lock my doors habitually to hedge against this crap anyway) but anyone nosing into my cab is asking to lose some fingers... my tire thumper's an old roofing hammer and I keep it nice and sharp in case I get stuck in the cold and need to chop some firewood.

I have the best fail-safe anti-break-in device known to exist.

I've connected a recording to my super-sound system in the Big truck interior, and it's set to "PLAY" --- real loud, when the door is opened.

The recording is of a VERY loud passin' of gas.
Can I get away with saying far t?
How 'bout HUGE F ART?

The only view I've ever gotten of a would-be intruder, was an
a-hole and elbows........ Pumpin' & Runnin'
Away.

HuH?
Where did I get the recording?

Doesn't really matter where -----
ANY truck stop will do.

Although, y'all might be able to down-load some off the computer.
And, maybe a CB shop can install a modified flatulence roger-beep.
I'd recommend organic.
Avoid the pickled eggs.

OH!
That's ever present.
And my first line of offensive defense.
It takes a lot of determination just to get past that smell,
believe me.
Only the strong survive.
And come to wish they hadn't.

YeS!
YeS I yam
A baaadd man -------> *see illustration above ............................

Especially when y'all consider I save the best
for last ------
Which would be my full color, life-sized cardboard statue of
Janet Reno.

I used to keep her up front, seated in the jump seat.
But she's gittin' older now, so I keep her back in the
bunk area now-a-daze.
Now, we mostly just talk about the good ol' daze,
while waitin' for intruders to attempt to do their thang.

And playin' solitaire 'till dawn
with a deck of 51 ---
but we always roll the windows down before lighting up a
Camel (Wide), cigarette.
I reckon, when the windows are rolled up real tight, technically, we'd be considered a Haz-Mat load.
DANGEROUS
or
POISON
placards?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
I forget now.
Best I look it up in the green book.

Bottom

line, ..............................
I pity the fool who opens MY Big truck truck doors.
It could ruin 'em for life.

And make my day, or night.

Well if Janet get old and faded just get one with Hillary and her daughter that might even scare Janet Reno.
