For the Chevy, tampons and a completly window chalked front window. For the Escort jack it up, take off the front tires and scatter the lug nuts around his car

Do you have any of that steel banding material and the crimper that goes with it? Band their doors shut so they cannot get in without cutting the bands.

How close together do they park? Close enough chain em together, or cable, or if all else fails rope. But of course it has to be out of sight when they get in their vehicles.

I really like it, have not been anywhere yet where it will not work. Will know more over Turkey day week as I will be taking a trip with it through West Virginia, where Nextel service is real spotty. But Sprint and Nextel do not share all their towers.

It has to be better than that. Something that will really surprise them, but not do any real damage. I am still thinking about it. Letting air out of tires is too destructive, it has to be a surprise. I really like the idea of hooking them together somehow.

I assume you still have to work with them the next day... so most of that stuff is out...

you could park in front of them...

the chevy prolly has enough clearance to crawl under and unplug the fuel pump...

you could wind rope in and out of one of the wheels so they have to untangle it...

you could do nothing and have them guessing for weeks when you will get them back

Part of this gave me a good idea. Tampons Jake, what for? But white shoe polish their windshields, take ya 2 bottles, but it will take them a good hour to get it all off and really **** em off, but do no harm. There is your plan, courteous of me and Jake.

1: pebbles or marbles in the hub caps
2: Ty raps around the drive shafts. Make sure the tails are long enough to hit the bottom of the car.
3: instant potatos in the radiator.
4: Get a inflate a date male or female your choice fill it with helium and float it above their vechicles. WARNING this one almost got me fired!!!!

this comment had me thinking along a different wavelength...

Since they will be in such a hurry to get out to their cars and be the first ones out, they might not notice..certain details.

Like something like this, very large, taped to the back of their car/truck, or somewhere they won't see it when they run out and get in:



You might not win the battle, but you'll win the war.

Sounds like a plan to me.
Danny those pickup lines were hilarious.
JD, we once hooked a wire to one of the plug wires on my buddy's old chevy and ran it in the cab. His seat was toren so it was real easy to hide the wire where he would sit on it and not see it. You shoulda seen the look on his face when the switchkey bit him. You could hear it sparking every time that plug fired!

We all park right here where you see the silos at is where we come from. They usually park right where the truck is parked at so we was thinking chain them to the storage trailer ( tomorrow they are riding seperatly)
