Terrible news. And for the record, it wasn't me. I was somewhere else. I'm sure of it.

I think I'd bet on the thief dumping the van somewhere after he/they remove all those minis and other game goodies from out of the back. That thing is certainly distinctive, anybody that saw it rolling into a building/chopshop or parked in a driveway somewhere would sure remember it.



I'll the next van they buy will have that fancy car theft tracking system on it!

It takes a special kind of loser to commit a felony for a game.



A game, people.

Why bother with a tracking system. Just get a system that will trigger when they get too far from a person carrying a controler that sends a constant radio signal. If they get too far away the doors lock and stay locked until it is returned. If they go even farther, it send a jolt of electicity through the seat. Now that would be funny.

Or they could make it into a Speed type thing, where if it goes too far away from the signal it can't drop below 55

For all of those that think that Hardware is innocent, please press the flashing button located on the bottom of you screen. For every person that pushes the button, a police man will go to Hardware's house and give him a sound beating... er, um... I mean an apology for the sound beatings before this point.

Could this be a marketing ploy to get more attention to WH40K?



One of the local radio stations had a "pirate" playing music and such over their airwaves here a few months back and they made a big deal about and when the dude was caught he was given a job and the ratings for the radio station were higher for the month April and May then at in point in the last two years.



Could this be something similar? Find van get reward...did we mention it's linked to WH40K?



Just a thought...

It's a thought a few of us were discussing this morning, but the consensus was there hasn't been enough publicity (or at least that we'd noticed) for it to be likely.



So possible? Yes. Probable? We think 'no'.

That van is very kewl. I wonder if my wife would let me paint the Lunch Box (MiniVan) up like that? With BTech Art of course!

Oh yeah, I can imagine Mrs. Horhiro's reaction to that. I think I can sum it up...



(blank stare at Horhiro) Hell no!

What if I sweetened the deal by buying her season tix to the BoSox?
