If it happens again, the next time, get out there early, clean up after the dog with an old paper, re-roll it, and get to the new paper before they do.

Have you or your wife tried to steal a newspaper?

Maybe he needed it to soak up the oil that was leaking out :)

My wife used to loot the hotel room. Apparently her parents did it all the time.

I broke her of it when I explained that the -least- the hotel would do is add the charge to my credit card.

Silly girl, you don't steal the towels from your own room. You get the ones from the pool.

Yeah, the fact he was in a Jaaaag makes me think of some loveable cad.

A BMW-driving paper thief would've been a dick, for sure.

He's probably a local, your neighbor will see him again.

My wife does the same damned thing. Got it from her parents, too. If it isn't towels, she will take everything- pens, pads of paper, shampoo...I guess that stuff is supposed to be used, but...com'on, really?

But stealing a paper off someone's driveway? That takes balls...balls you deserve to lose, because that is some ignorant E36 M3.

In reply to EastCoastMojo:

Mojo, I know what you mean. I saw the price on a two bedroom house smaller than mine and it was like three times the price.

Then again, some of my friends think I live in the ghetto, so /shrug.

But I tell you what: that is one damn ugly car. 'Scuse me, I mean one damn 'fugly' (frickin' ugly) car. I bet Sir William is pounding the inside of his casket and screaming.

I don't read the paper, wasn't me.

I know what you mean though, people are just plain shiny happy people sometimes. I deal with a lot living where I am. The overall sense of entitlement disgusts me to no end.

Silly girl, you don't steal the towels from your own room. You get the ones from the pool. If you use them to clean out a grenaded transmission they will bill you even if you leave them. Same for the bedspread and sheets if they smell of used gear oil. We checked out of the Ramada in Daytona with a bill Motley Crue could be proud of.

My dad bought a brand new 1985 XJS coupe. Gorgeous car, red with biscuit interior. That thing stayed in the shop continually. So Dad got to be pretty good friends with the service manager and was griping about the car being broken all the time, the guy looked at him and said, 'That's because it's a beautiful piece of E36 M3'.
