What Have You Done to Your Cougar Today?

Fitted some ebay special ford logo valve caps.
They come with an 'anti theft' spanner to go on your keyring - notwithstanding the fact that anyone with a working set of fingers could remove them anyway :)

Like one of those curiously-specific museums you see out west in the States. "Biggest baling-twine museum in Nebraska!" or "The largest collection of discarded poker chips in Nevada!"

I'd appreciate it if y'all'd read this in Morgan Freeman's voice.

On my Rover I had chromed anti-theft caps. I was parked outside my in-laws' house in Coffee Hall one day, (I'll let you judge its merits on Google Streetview if you like) and some little swine figured out how to steal them. Kid was like 12 at most and he had no real need for them unless he had two bikes. His friend told him that it was wrong and that he was going to tell me, so the thief threw them into the bushes. Anyway, that brave little kid came straight up to me to tell me and gave me the thief's address. God bless decent parents and role models.

Well, we went round there to his house and he'd run there; and since we're talking about a kid here, I didn't go in guns blazing for a change. I asked him if I could speak to his parents, and he knew darned well what was coming, because there was ElCee sitting on his driveway, the car that he'd been touching some 30 minutes before. That boy near packed his pants when his dad came out. And truth be told, so did I - the guy was 6'4" and built like he'd spent his life manhandling sheet steel.

Anyway, I told him what his little friend alleged had happened. He believed it immediately and I quote, "I didn't raise you to be a criminal! If this man wants you to go to jail, he can make that happen! Do you want that? Because I won't stop it!

Now, by this point I was feeling kind of uncomfortable. Heck, I just wanted my caps back and maybe this kid to get grounded for a while. But he never struck that boy. Didn't raise a hand.

I'm not good with confrontation, so I tried to water the situation down. Maybe if he gets the caps back, we can just call this a learning experience and all move on. But no. In his panic, he couldn't remember where he'd thrown them. Well we just lit out of there at that point because there was nothing more to be gained from the situation. As we left, the kid's mother promised he'd be punished in the correct manner.

I never saw those caps ever again, but I haven't seen that kid either. Maybe there's a lesson in all of this.

Anyway, I haven't done anything to Tiger today.

I've seen a sign for that:LOL:
I have to admit now that the last time I left your house, I thought I had got on to the A421 westbound as usual. After a while things started to look wrong and I realised I'd come back up the V6 and was outside the Jaipur:giggle::LOL:
