>vandalizes my neighbors truck as well and steals his cigar for whatever reason
Somebody draw a black guy with 2 bloody hands, 20 dollars, a cigar, and a satisfied look on his face.
Not vandalism per see but I agreed to buy a jeep with a bad head gasket and between making a deal and me driving up a week later the guy stripped and sold the front end clip, lights, hood, interior and tires. He really thought I'd just buy it anyway, fucking dumb shit.
My passport 9500ix got jacked a couple weeks back now still pretty fucking pissed

Your problem is not with the gubment. It is with electing those that keep on shoving costs of big government into your face and shipping jobs overseas which reduces opportunities for everyone and thus indirectly increases crime as well as the attitude it's okay to be a criminal to get ahead because times are tough.
i love you no homo
Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson

>someone wrote 'I wish my wife was this dirty' on my fender
probably not
I remember in elementary school it was cool to steal car emblems. After a few weeks most people lost interest except this one autist. By the end of the school year he had a duffel bag full.
>Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson
You threw your vote away.
>I remember in elementary school it was cool to steal car emblems.
A piece of wire that was sanded to be rough. Slide that behind a logo or badge and saw away. Thin piano wire works but damages the car paint more. But that's their problem not yours.
If harbor freight sold an abrasive string, then that would easily slip behind a logo. You could saw through the adhesive backing with that thin abrasive string. Too bad dental floss is so smooth. Floss sort of works but it is more of a pulling at one angle, then pulling at another angle to seesaw through the backing. And it has to be long and wrapped around rods to give pulling leverage so it doesn't cut your fingers.
>>live on a dirty road
>>park at store
>>come out
>>someone wrote 'I wish my wife was this dirty' on my fender
Sliding a razor blade between the badge and the surface would reduce the amount of material the wire has to cut through.

That's what you get for not admiring communism you capitalist pig. Burn in hell
Fishing line.

Your car problems are a downstream symptom of the society around you. Society keeps changing for the worse in most places and for the better in just a few. Just look at Detroit as an example. Many other american cities have hugely declined under the multiple financial and infrastructure problems caused by people clustering for social welfare benefits but not really contributing to society's taxbase.
If there's room, tie a tight tiny knot to help the cutting action.
>blames welfare for detracting from our tax base
>corporations get away with not paying hundreds of millions in taxes every year
The rich just want you to scapegoat the poor while they continue to rob the country blind.
>The rich just want you to scapegoat the poor while they continue to rob the country blind.
That's what happened in the 1990's when people signed away all those jobs and production to foreign countries in return for "donations" to their "non profit" corporate foundations.
>What the fuck Veeky Forums. Is this a normal thing?
Greed and selfishness are normal things. BUT how people express themselves differs based upon that person's ethics as well as their overall cultural state. That hasn't changed over these past hundreds of years of civilization.
Just angle it back and forth. Thin line cuts through the foam adhesive backing if you pull hard enough.
