Great Day Today....... until
Worked on the LPE ZR-1 today with my son Morgan, removing secondaries, etc. Washed up & took Karen for a ride down old Route 66 in our 2013 Grand Sport, waving at the other Vettes. old & new. Got a little hungry so we went to the Grand Casino on I-40 to try out a new Brazilian Steakhouse. Had a great dinner, won a few bucks at blackjack, and then got a page over the PA system to report to security.
This was the end of a great day. Broke every piece of glass, clubbed the Nav/Radio system, broke off a mirror. The vandal also broke most of the glass in a 4dr sedan nearby. Fortunately, a witness followed, got a tag #, reported to police & Hwy patrol. Only 7,055 miles.  [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]

Re: Great Day Today....... until
Well... I too am at a loss for words, Jerry.
I'm soooo sorry. Now, if the vehicle they left in wasn't stolen, then maybe there's a chance the bastards will be caught, and maybe, if they haven't already spent their life savings on dope, they might have the cash to make you whole again before spending some time in jail, should you press charges. Anything we can do?

Re: Great Day Today....... until
It is beyond sad and pathetic that someone would do that to someone else's property, let alone a Corvette. It is especially sad, knowing the good people that they did that to.
I wonder what motivates a person to do something like that. I am very sorry to see that Jerry. I am glad that you and Karen are alright. Last edited by Meanmyz; 03-16-2015 at 10:32 AM. |

Often, I've found, the people who destroy other people's property like this are of the mind "if I can't have it, you can't either". Sick is what it is! If these types would go out and get a real job, they too might enjoy nice things like a Corvette. Unfortunately they prefer to remain jobless, receive government subsidy at taxpayers' expense and raise havoc with the property of others whom they feel are their oppressors or something. What a shame! Oh yes, I hear the cries of the do-gooders. "We need to feel sorry for these poor people because they cannot find jobs." That's nonsense! There's work out there for everyone who wants to work. It may not be in the job of choice, but there is employment for everyone. I see signs everywhere that say "hiring", but employers tell me there are few takers. I guess it's just a lot easier to accept welfare and steal from others in more than one way. Sorry for the rant and I'm really sorry for your loss Jerry. |
