I got the car back. Looked at the door really close and found the pry marks. I'm still so pissed. Cost me 700 all said and done.

got the idea from a friend that shocked squirrels in his bird feeder.

At the gas station, the trigger auto shut off valve keep tripping and splashing gas out at me. I moved to another pump thinking it was broken and it did the same thing unless I slowly trickled gas in it. After about 15 minutes standing there at the pump trying to put at least a little gas in my car I got fed up and paid / left.
I called the guy up that I bought the car from to see if he had the same problem and he said started with Oh yea I forgot to tell you ..... Someone kept stealing gas out of my car no matter what I tried (locking gas cap and whatnot). I finally got so sick of it I threw a rock down in the fill pipe. It got caught in the bend on the way down just like I had hoped but it blocked off a little too much of the hole. It kept them from stealing gas though. Needless to say I was not amused to have to spend 15 minutes to get a quarter tank of gas!

Someone kept stealing my supras everytime i got one no matter what I tried (alarm, kill switch and whatnot). Finally got sick of it I strapped a bomb to the body. After letting people know about it the car never got stolen like I hoped but it's a little too much of an inconvenience"
lol I hate how carfax doesn't help a whole lot when it comes to buying used cars. unless the car was taken to a shop for every little thing needed, you have to find out about it later down the road.
anyways, if this was a personal attack and not some random violence, and you have no idea who it was, set up some surveillance, they might try again (well, in my experience they did). and omg if you catch who it is don't post the details of the sweet revenge, we don't wont you to get in trouble. Just respond back with nothing but a naughty smiley.

after figuring out it was him, i came up with an amazing idea. I bought a tank to sit in the trunk and left the factory tank and everything still in there. I decided that same day to fill the factory tank with water.
He transfered the water from mine into his, and it wouldnt start. next day i had it impounded
