What the Frick is wrong with people?























If you are going to steal floor mats, at least nick the Lloyds ones.

There are scum everywhere, even among vets together. I know full well, I worked at the brig for a while when I was in the Army. They sure didn't become saints when they got out!

It's almost unbelievable that someone, not to mention another vette owner, would help themselves to something like a mat.
These ones. Pm coming.

Yup. Some scumbags will steal anything that isn't nailed down -- even 1 used floormat. Sad.

Was it taken from the car or did you have them removed and on the side with cleaning supplies? I only ask that wondering if it could have been an honest mistake that someone took it assuming it was for his/her car nearby that also had theirs removed. If taken from right out of the car that's really bad and I would be similarily PO'd!

I know at BG and other judged shows there are reported thefts of cigarette lighter elements and other hard to find parts from early cars on the fields for certification. Equally lowlife people as well.

Some of us were talking to a guy at a local Corvette show who also owns a Lamborghini and asked him which he preferred to drive. He said the Corvette, since he doesn't get followed home! Sometimes when driving the Lambo he pulls into a restaurant and goes in for a while until the stalker finally leaves...that's really getting bad! I suppose they figure nice car=nice house and potential theft opportunity.
