Gosh Dang it, I hate theives.

Many years ago I was a member of a very small off road club we called ourselves the "2x4's" because we (at the time) were from a lumbering community, and most of our "4x4's" were broken, making them a "2x4" LOL. Anyhow the club teamed up with a Boy's Ranch to take some kids on an outing. I missed it, had to work part of Saturday. Anyhow, my then good friend had a almost new (he bought it new) 74 Dodge shortie 4x. We had swapped a 440 into the thing (and the 360 went into my Landcruiser.) Anyhow, two of the kids stole that truck---he USED to leave the keys in, and drove it from the N end of Idaho clear down to S Oregon. he took off work, and I rode with, to go down and retrieve the truck. It had some scratches, and the kids had pawned anything in the truck, including the jack and spare, for gas money, then run it out of gas, then ran the battery clear dead. One window broken, and POlice fingerprint dust all over everything.

Anyhow, we patched it together and got it home........but Gary NEVER left the keys in a rig again, so far as I know
