You guys are funny...LOL

The cars on blocks are called insurance jobs.....
I do armed security in a warehouse a few nights a week in Jersey City.
It's calmed down in recent years but for some reason the guys would bring the cars down the street that our warehouse is on and set them on fire....

Sometimes I'd smell them burning first before they explode and call the fire department. ...Sometimes I wouldnt smell them based on the direction of the wind blowing.........then BABOOM!!! The gas tank explodes........THEN I call the fire department...LOL

Locks on a bike are like locks on a house, they only slow a determined pro down...

I lock the forks and the ignition, but that's only gonna keep a lazy thief or a dumb kid from taking off with it...

If a pro wants it when you're not around, they'll get it...
