I parked at school one day, and I guess forgot to lock the doors. Instead of stealing the $1,000 worth various audio equipment, all they took was the damn name badge. To make it even more funny, I turned in the missing badge to corporate, and the idiot that took it was using it to try to steal from a store. This guy was literally dressing in associate uniform and walking into stores, taking crap right off of shelves and walking right back out. Sad thing is, no one caught him until I made a report about the badge being stolen......
Sorry to hear about that.... That is total BS.
yep, all four screws were on the plate. just regular plate screws, no protection. but get this, now its gonna cost me more money to replace the plate and the sticker, but here's the catch: its illegal to add a protective cover to the plate, i just have to deal with it and keep paying to replace them if it keeps happening. after all, why should the state care, they actually make more money when tags are stolen than by allowing people to protect their personal property. thanks again california...

You start by not voting for politicians that plan on giving away lots of money to other people. All that welfare costs money. And now you have to pay for it with higher fees and taxes.

You don't think maybe it's the politicians in the state house and senate that keep giving away welfare to the illegals? Where did you think they were going to get the money?

ive pretty much lost faith in the voting system since the first year we moved to electronic ballots and squeezed george w bush (one of the worst candidates in history to be elected) into office with the help of his florida family. but dont even get me started on the welfare system feeding lazy people on the nickels earned by people that actually do something with their lives. how much better we'd all be if we weren't held back to protect and provide for the worthless and the dishonest. dont get me wrong, SOME people can use the help of the welfare system, but IMO 85% are abusing the system because its just too easy not to. i've known people on both sides, but i'll be here all day bitching about welfare so i'll just stop there

if yall really want to have a cheap registration come to florida, my registration for the year is 50 and if i want the 2 year its only 90. i would have to stop driving before i paid 500 for registration, thats just ridiculous. plus most of yall probably have to have your car inspected to, not here. gotta love the south.

i always thought it was myself. obviously southern florida is a bit of a culture shock compared to jackson, birmingham, atlanta, or any of the smaller "backwoods" towns, but northern florida isnt much different than south carolina or louisiana which is about as "southern" as you can get IMO

This post reminds me of the time in the 90's when I was in high school and I walked out to find some guy with metel sheers cutting of the corners of my plate!! This was in PA. Needless to say it kicked his *** all over the parking lot and kept his sheers.

the northern flordians might be ok. but yeah, the southern ones are some weird ones. they're liked about as much as Californians in Idaho and Montana. i'm surprised how much of a foothold the snobby ones have here in the western half of MT, my buddy got his truck stuck here in the snow (he's from NC) and i went to go find someone to pull us out, no one would help except a cool guy from Mississippi, he shot the bull with us for a while after he helped us out, offered to let us hunt with his bear hound pack too.

as for cutting plates, there's a reason i have a sticker saying "keep your dick beaters off my Dodge." If i catch em doing that to me, i'll shove my boot so far up their *** that they'll have a leather soled smile.
