Default So I just had a tire iron stolen

A guy came by and asked to borrow a tire iron. Said he doesn't have one, his neon is around the corner. I was playing with my kid inside, so I just got him one and away he left. I had my garage open, so now I'm thinking he was just casing my place. Maybe I'm just paranoid. Anyone hear of anything like this?

If he was casing your place, it's probably not a good idea for him to make contact with you in a way that you are able to distinguish his face and voice. Although many criminals aren't very bright.

What kind of man can afford a high-class car like a Neon and not have oodles of cash to buy his own tire iron? You should have been suspicious right from the start.

He drives a Neon. He can't afford to buy a tire iron, he needs that money for cigarettes!

The moral of the story is...always keep 2 tire irons, or don't lend them.

The guy wasn't spanked as a kid.... or was he spanked too much? Which is it? I'm confused.
