Now you know how to get rid of your cat/dog feces - wrap them up real nice and leave them in your car.

There was an item some years back where a woman had to take a urine sample to the doc. She washed out and old whiskey bottle and used that. On the way to the doc, she stopped off to do some shopping. When she came back, her window was broken and the bottle gone. She was still laughing.

Garages have a special kit of bolts for the Prius battery that cannot be unscrewed replacing the existing bolts...like the special wheel lug nuts with a key.

It only protects you until the thieves get a socket wrench that fits the special bolts.

I am curios as to why they don’t steal the whole car and part it our the old fashion way?

Please do. I've scooped my share of litter boxes, and plan to do the same if (when) I get visited by porch pirates.

I thought the glitter bomb was an AWESOME idea, especially with the fart(?) spray, but only an engineer would enjoy putting in the time and effort. I enjoy the simple but effective. Open the Amazon box on the bottom, load it, plain brown tape to secure it, and REPLACE THE ADDRESS LABEL with a fake. We'd probably need to reuse some of the Amazon airbags to keep the valuable merchandise from shifting around in the box, maybe nest a smaller box inside.

I have to stop this, or I'll be hitting up all the cat people I know for contributions, and end up putting it together this weekend.
