Metro Mitsu's security sucks Uugghhhh
My old Talon with the fugly ass racing stripes that I sold to a guy at my work got broken into last night. My poor co-worker came to work today to find the drivers side window broken and the console trim around the ECU removed. They fucked around near the ECU, but it was still there??? We pull it in tonight and noticed a big trail of oil behind it.
They took the Oil feed line Banjo bolt!!
WTF kind of theives is that? Someone trying to fuck up his motor or what?
The worst part is there was NO radio in the car, just a blank hole. They really didn't steal anything exept I $5 part.
Sorry to rant, I know this has happened to people here on this board at Metro before including my old K car wagon. It just pisses me off this shit is still happening.

Yeah my buddy had his door on his 1G ripped open (to get in) and then they stole his Eclipse radio. Metro basically told him to get fucked, even tho they were putting the tranny in it.

I had an old Cavalier of mine being worked on at Marathon in Osseo. Got my stereo and all my CD's stolen out of it. This was prolly 5 years ago though. They didn't believe me, but then someone else reported stuff stolen from their car that night too. So I guess they believed us since there were two of us. I got reimbursed for my stereo, but not my CD's.

Well, if you guys would have longer hours, then I wouldn't have to break into cars in the parking lot to get my banjo bolt!!
Hehe, TOTALLY kidding here. I would never do that.

Funny part is they probably weakened the bolt by pulling it out, they sometimes snap underload when being removed, especialy in a hurry, otherwise they break when being tightened. I hope they break it off in there head when they install it!
go metro security go!

Ah my turbo project is complete, that last banjo bolt was a tough one to find. JK
My parents have had vehicles broken into at dealerships before the dealer was cool about it and accepted it as their responsablity to repace every thing that was stolen. |
