BillD Posted May 19, 2004 Share #13 Posted May 19, 2004 When I was in graduate school, I raised a litter of St. Bernard puppies. At 12 weeks they were as cute as could be, but they were about the size of German Shepherds and they were teething!! They spent their nights in my garage and managed to eat the tail light and a turn signal off a motorcycle I was using as my main transportation, so I decided to wire it to a fence charger. I put chicken wire under the bike and used that for a ground. I then hooked the hot wire to the frame. It worked like a dream and the puppies never touched the bike again. Unfortunately, in a hurry to get to school one morning I forgot about my handiwork and just jumped on the bike. You'd be amazed how conductive a vinyl seat can be. I think this design could save the military a fortune on ejection seats. Live and learn.

hls30.com Posted May 19, 2004 Share #14 Posted May 19, 2004 That sounds like a great alarm clock! No snooze, no sleeping through it! I would imagine it would not take too long to beat the alarm clock in getting out of bed!Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/11782-stinken-theives-strike-again/?page=2#findComment-81811 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted May 19, 2004 Share #15 Posted May 19, 2004 that kind of thing can happen to any of us. In my neighborhood where you can "leave your car unlocked" I wonder what might happen to my Zed after I get the GTO body with flashy red paint on there. Not to mention the knock-off wheels (eventually), the interior is scheduled to have some custom aluminum door panels, & the carpet will get mods for the vinyl hump cover, shifter boot, maybe others. You hear about things happening, during the summer, when kids are out of school & looking for stuff to do...Bill- how about a chainmail car cover?

Fun_in_my_z Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share #16 Posted May 19, 2004 They would figure out away to get it off. My redneck unle used to work night shift. His house got robbed once a month for about eight monthes. He would nail the door shut and they would take a pry bar to get tthe nails out. Kids around here dont care about anythang. We built a fence last year and they cut the wire. We live on 20 acres good for atvs and bikes. they come mess stuff up every year. now they get to play with some noisy dogs. Dont know whitch one i hate more the theives or the barking all night .

TomoHawk Posted May 19, 2004 Share #17 Posted May 19, 2004 It sounds like you and your neighbors need to organize yourselves and maybe get some professional help. This seems to get getting out of control. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/11782-stinken-theives-strike-again/?page=2#findComment-81848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfadog Posted May 19, 2004 Share #19 Posted May 19, 2004 Glad you got your stuff back!Just 2 hours ago, I was woken up by a burgular looking through drawers downstairs..... I caught him as he came upstairs, and he was nice enough not to cause too much trouble. Didn't get away with anything, but now I know security doors aren't so secure... That's my burgular story!!!

Fun_in_my_z Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share #21 Posted June 7, 2004 Well as some of you may know i sold my 75 280z the other day. I didnt evan know about the other guy that bought the thang.(he bought it as a parts car) Well he got up this morning to find it stripped to nearly nothing. the theives evan got away with the fI L28 engine. only thing left is the shell and rear end. Atleast they are picking on someone else now If anyone sees any parts on ebay or whatever from A then give a shout.

hls30.com Posted June 7, 2004 Share #22 Posted June 7, 2004 Hey Bill, did you get the engine number? If it was original and the plate is still on the inside of the passenger side of the engine compartment, that might go a long way in catching the rapscallions that took it-btw-how do es a person miss an engine getting pulled? WillPS-still waiting for the ducky ducky story from that sale!
