    I love this idea.

    Speaking of, all the time I see the cheap company monkeys in beat up, never washed trucks with remnants of parking violation stickers on their trucks.

    It tells you so much about that driver:
    1. They are an idiot and can't, or won't park legally.
    2. They don't even have the pride, energy or decency to scrape it off. These usually look like they've been there a month.
    or 3. They don't even have a flat blade and some window cleaner to clean it off, telling you how ill prepared they are for the job.

    I would engrave the the locks with, “you blocked the fuel pump and held me up, now it’s my turn to screw you over” or something of the nature but it would definitely still include the finger!

    I also am not concerned about how my camera also seems to stop working when certain let’s say poetic things happen to those folks but until now I thought my camera was the only one with this defect.

    No way. The steer tires would have been bulging severely to be causing thumping while moving and even if that were the case how did he miss the ones that were allegedly stuck to the sidewalls?

    Agreed. If a reefer is on continuous it helps me sleep better as well.

    They were probably tossed under the tires and worked their magic when the truck rolled forward.

    How did he not see them on the ground in front of the wheels then? Still not buying it. I'm convinced a proper pre-trip was never completed.

    They are non-destructive anti-vehicle weapons, you have to run them over to make them work.

    It was dark out, he didn't see them at all, which I can understand.

    I don't have them here to show you, they are put away in the garage. They are not big, about an inch to an inch and a half spike on each side, flat black paint, and very sharp. These look like they were made out of nails, twisted, welded and sharpened.

    Oh i agree, if it had been me, my hand would have been on my macky. i also keep a hollow point in the chamber since it has a decocker and safety.

    That said it was also ####cago so its entirely posible the driver being threatened didnt have his on him for legal reasons. I have also noticed a trend that every single time one of these idiots its always in these gun free states. And near always the usual type of suspect.

    Eh the stickers are about $20 per 500. So its literally less then a nickle for cheap entertainment. The locks though i reserve for people who REALLY piss me off and i spend extra to get the ones that require a grinder or torch to get off but are resistant to both. What i do is i put them on the door put a bunch of JB weld or glue into the lock. Then insert a blank key into said lock then snap it off in the glue and cover over the hole with JB weld. Whole thing is around $62.

    Thing is because i destroyed the actual lock you cant pick it off. And since i always use the grinder resistant type of lock it burns up a half dozen or more discs to get in or requires you to destroy the door or get a torch to get it off quickly. This means the dude is going to need to call a specialed company to remove it which runs around $200-400 in most places, will take at least a couple hours and is HIGHLY likely to get them kicked off the customers property which could cost them hundreds more in late fees or even blacklisted.

    I only use a couple locks a year but eh. I would love to put a better engraveing on them but i got something not much bigger then a playing card to screw with so im limited on what i can put for an easily understandable message.

    I have run into those before. Backed into a parking spot one time since i showed up 3 hours early for a unload and was forced to wait. heard 8 quick thumps and the trailer dropped. Someone had thrown a couple dozen back there. I tried to police them all but 2 other trucks backed in and had the same thing happen since they were in standing water. ####ing mempus
