    A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular NAPA, O'Rilley's and Autozone customers. I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

    Here's how the scam works:

    A seriously good-looking 20-something girl comes over to your car as
    you are leaving the store. She starts talking about how sexy your car is while wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex. With her breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts it's impossible not to look. Be aware that this is a ploy to draw your attention! When you thank her and offer her a tip, she says 'No' and instead will ask you for a ride to McDonalds.

    "IF" you agree, she gets in the car. On the way, she starts
    undressing and crawling all over you. Sometime during this, she steals your wallet!

    I had my wallet stolen October 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th,
    20th, 24th, & 29th. Also November 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th,
    23rd, 26th & 28th, three times last Monday and very likely again this weekend.

    So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take
    advantage of older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant.
    Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for
    $1.99 at K- Mart and bought them out.

    Happy Holidays everyone. :) Joe

    You think cheap little money clips would work as well or does it actually have to be a wallet? :)

    Sorry for not-so-related posting.

    Autozone in Renton, WA had once this kind of conversation with me:

    Autozone: Who make Ferrari?
    Me: What do you mean?
    Autozone: You know, Ford makes F-150 and Dodge makes Durango.
    Me: Thank you for your time. Bye!

    They are called auto stoned for a reason. Oh, and its "ohhh ohhhh ohhhh, oooh'Reilly.

    If you think those girls are bad at NAPA and O'Reilly, you should see them down at Bumper to Bumper and buff and glo.
