Hey it's on the right side if you're sitting IN the car; who wants to show off anyhow? What matters is that anyone sitting in the back seat will know exactly where you get your parts from :D

Theirs. At first I was shocked that they had something they hadn't stolen (too big/heavy to shoplift), but then someone mentioned they probably did steal it -- grocery stores here often put watermelons outside in the front. :roll:

Thanks for all the comments; I am happy the way things turned out. I do have their identities -- unless the backpacks in the car were stolen -- and I'll be following up with the police on this.

I have to buy new keys/locks tomorrow, and the front end is a little loose I've discovered, so I'll be looking into that, but overall "the cup is half full."
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Re: the last 2 things - anything come out of this? Were they able to find the guys and was anything wrong with your car?
