I'd advise putting up a fence and gate, or maybe you could work a deal to use Connie's garage? In the meantime, what size tires do you need- I may have some takeoffs...<br /><br /> DynaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-78696136605837777132009-05-25T19:15:46.228-05:002009-05-25T19:15:46.228-05:00You need to park your ride in a locked garage John...You need to park your ride in a locked garage John!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-82471319823274909352009-05-24T23:32:51.522-05:002009-05-24T23:32:51.522-05:00Anti-john - I actually took Johnny's score calcula...Anti-john - I actually took Johnny's score calculation that Peter was winning because it was more valiant to have your truck torched and declare that you are digging your heels in and sticking around. I think that is where Johnny was coming from. <br /><br />But good point about the truck and the Hoffmobiles. But really, could Johnny even look right driving a newer vehicle? It wouldn't be right and the world might shift off axis or something. Best to stick to the Hoffmobiles. <br /><br />Free the show thrower.Jordan Neighbornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-10343701403526402342009-05-24T23:22:22.419-05:002009-05-24T23:22:22.419-05:00"Skree-ness, it's Geek

Or at least I guessed wrong.<br /><br />The reason I wanted to post a comment to this post was to be a smart as* and point something out about your "score" comparison.<br />You said Peter is ahead because, he got a nice, new truck after his was torched while you have edured minor vandalism and have not come out with an upgrade via insurance as Peter has.<br />The point I wanted to make light of is this:<br />Peter's vehicle was nice BEFORE it was torched.<br />Your vehicle's were... Well... HoffMobiles BEFORE anyone ever vandalized them lol!<br /><br />Just having a bit of fun w/ this is all.<br /><br />-Anti JohnnyAnti Johnnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-19423689576327823612009-05-24T12:27:29.717-05:002009-05-24T12:27:29.717-05:00My official count while living in Jordan was three...My official count while living in Jordan was three broken car windows, one home burglary (the entire home was turned upside-down and trashed with numerous items stolen), four slashed tires, and an additional #4,000 worth of body damage to a vehicle. <br /><br />The body damage was actually quite humurous in hindsight. First the theif attempted to punch-out the door lock. When that failed, they took a retaining wall paver from beisde my driveway and attempted to throw it throw the truck window. Their first attempt missed the mark. and they dented the door column next to the window. Not to be dissuaded, they picked the paver up and tried again (probably froma closer distance) and were successfull in blowing-out the window and I might add, disabling the passenger side airbag in the process.<br /><br />Oh, I forgot to mention another $1,200 worth of damage done by three yound miscreants that weren't from the immediate neighborhood, but had come to "beat-up" a neighbors child. After running them off, I learned that they came back and beat (with sticks they had brought to beat-up the neighbors kid) the hell out of the side of my vehicle (a brand new $35k truck).<br /><br />So, adding it up. I was probably out-of-pocket (including the ransacking of my home when I was living on Irving Ave) about $10,000 over a 6-year period.<br /><br />There is no doubt in my mind that everything (with the exception of the home burglary) was related to my "community activism". <br /><br />Smarter neighbors that had lived in Jordan longer than I had had a much better "feel" on picking and choosing their battles...<br /><br />dennis planteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-83369818807319149542009-05-24T12:12:56.973-05:002009-05-24T12:12:56.973-05:00bravo!
