Did you get a lock for the spare tire under the Expedition?

Morning Neil, Steve. Steve, I'm going to get something to lock that up under there, maybe a heavy cable.

they still can cut it but it will slow them down and move to the next easier target!

Well, they won't be able to cut it with a pair of wire cutters, they'd have to have bolt cutters instead.

That will make it a less desirable target!

Steve, it wouldnt surprise me, I've seen it around town a few times, but other than that we've tried to forget about it.......when I went to speak with him, he tried to offer me $500 not a penny more for my truck, I told him to get bent (but more colorful in vocabulary) and left, at the time I had a FS sign in the windows.

Pat, I'm glad you got the tire fixed, but it stinks that you've got to get another rim, if you need any help let me know man.

Thanks Drew. Selling vehicles is a giant pain, so I know what you're going through.

Morning guys, happy Tuesday... walked into an alligator pit at work this morning... don't understand why computer servers can fail overnight and nobody gets called. Finally back on track but now I can't remember what I was supposed to do today.
