get a broken transmission!!!!

somebody tried to hotwire my truck when it was sitting outside a transmission repair shop with the driveshaft laying in the back.

I don't know if they got it started or not, but they didn't go anywhere. My truck is hard for most people to start. The choke is wired open and it's very cold-natured, even in 100 degreee weather. you can't start it without pumping it, and it won't idle until it warms up. which is fine with me!

It made me think about how vunerable my truck is to theives!!!!! What made me the maddest though, was not the theives, it was the transmission rebuilder!!!!! he told me he was going to put my truck in his shop over the weekend, but he left it outside the whole weekend!!!!!! not in the best part of town either.
