NationStates Jolt Archive

I was driving through detroit one day, and suddenly I heard the distinct 'verm verm!' of pneumatic renches behind me. I turned my head, and the back half of my car was gone! I turned around again and I was sitting on a couple of cinder blocks holding two sticks. "Dang, you guys are fast! That only took you.. DANG! you guys stole by watch too! You guys deserve a tip! ...DANG! You guys took my wallet too!"

i forget what comedian it was that told that story, but I thought it was funny... and fictional...

Then I got invited with my dad to go to a TV studio and watch a pro team from All-State insurance strip a Chevy Blazer apart on live TV...

3 guys... no power tools, no head starts... less than 9 minutes.

They took off the grill, the fender, the hood, the the doors, the headlights, the seats, and the wheels. Frikkin amazing... not a scratch on any of the parts.

Tips to prevent getting your car stolen: Lock doors, don't leave the keys in the car...

They seem obvious, but almost half of the cars stolen nation-wide are rolled with the keys in the car... some of them even running at a convenient store.

BTW, it took them like 20 minutes to put the car back together perfectly... it was insane... these guys are fast!

I'll try to find the video in a couple of weeks.

Oh, check it out, they posted it online

they left the wheel and the window wipers. :?i didn't say they took the wipers... why would they want wipers?

And the wheels were all off. Only thing they couldn't get off was the rear hatch... was double hinged

i would want the wipers. why wouldnt you want the wipers?

i would want the wipers. why wouldnt you want the wipers?because everything else they took is worth at least $500...

shit. where do i learn how to strip a car in 9 minutes?

shit. where do i learn how to strip a car in 9 minutes?watch those first two video clips on the left hand side...

Experience. And I'm also guessing they had the blueprints of the car so they already knew before hand which parts to take off first, where all the nuts & bolts were located, etc.
