Damn Tweekers- my rant

Vince called me from work today, he told me his catalytic converter was stolen off his truck. When he started it, it sounded incredibly loud like a motorcycle. He stopped his truck and walked to the back of it, looked under it and saw a few nut/bolts and some metal pieces. He didn't know what a catalytic converter looked liked but he knew it had been stolen. I guess in a lot of areas this has become quite popular. Tweakers are stealing them to recycle for money to buy drugs. Seriously places should just refuse to recycle them. Apparently the tweakers have also been disassembling the huge a/c units on commercial buildings to trade in for money as well. So now thanks to some douche bags who needed their next fix we have to get the truck repaired, thanks for starting out our savings on a good note for our next visit to Riverside. This happened to my uncle as well in Riverside, my dad says he is just waiting to come out one morning to see his stolen, how freakin' crappy is that. Grow up and get a job tweakers!

Boo! That sucks big time!

That happened to me before. I had a Mazda MX3 which was a car that wasn't being made anymore so I guess parts were hard to come by (or really expensive). Someone stole an exhaust pipe or something. It sucks because it's just so RUDE! Why ca't people get their own stuff instead of stealing someone elses?!?! Ugh!
