Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 , You are very lucky that they caught them with your tires. We have a family business here in Iowa and that is part of what we do is sell wheels and tires. Can you buy wheel locks in Australia? We usually sell wheel locks to anyone we sell a nice set of wheel and tires. The locks replace one lug nut on each wheel and that makes it so that it is harder for someone to steal the wheels and tires. I am so glad that they caught them. It is a little hard to drive your car to a shop to get new wheels and tires when there are no wheels and tires on it. That's enough excitement for a whole week. I hope you get your tires back on soon. Tina W., mother of , 18yo wcf (Iowa,USA) not cf related We were all happily asleep when around 4am this morning our door bell rang. I didn't hear it as I only went to bed at 1am so I was out of it. I heard talking to someone at the door so I got up. It was a police lady. has a really nice car with mag. wheels that are new. And apparently 4 teenage boys thought they were nice to. They jacked up his boot and removed the wheels and mags. I don't know much about cars so I said to him who would want to steal two tyres. I nearly died when he told me those two wheels and tyres cost $900. and that the kids sell them to others. So we have been awake since then Ours is not a street you'd want to steal something from as we have a police officer living across the road and one two houses down, and they drive past this way more then usual because their own families are here. Anyway one was driving up one way and the other was driving the other way and they actually caught them with the wheels. So now were waiting for the police yo return the wheels to so he can put them back on and give a statement. So that's our excitement for the day.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 We had a similar incident three weeks ago. A police officer knocked on our door at 4 am. Turns out our van's back window had been shot out with a pellet gun. The police were cruising town checking every where as some where near 60 windows of businesses, homes and cars were shot out.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 AHHHH!Public Protection at its BEST, gotta love it!I live just out of St Pete, FL, were lucky if all they steel is wheels/tires, they're scantless and tend to go for bikes(they LOVE the kids'), and the WHOLE car, where they of course drop off by our home being that its on the outskirts of the big city. Glad they got your thugs!! Patty, mom to TyTy > We were all happily asleep when around 4am this morning our door bell > rang.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 , The Birdcage is a great movie, I have seen it a thousand times, too. If you get a chance rent the Rat Race is very good, too. At my house since a is the oldest and only girl, she pretty much rules the rooster but my Venanzio who's 7 1/2 will sometimes make comments like " why do we have to eat what a wants? " , " why do we have to do what a says " or the one that kills me " mommy spends more time with a than me " . Which is really not true but since I will stay sometimes with a in her bedroom while therapy and they will also congragate in her room, he feels left out. Well, I hope Liam catches a big fish, it surely will be very relaxing for you. Enjoy! > Eilish is at my parents house for 2 days.
