Body:
Okay, here's the deal. The car is in a rented garage. The car is
covered with 2 soft quilts, reaching front bumper over roof over
spoiler down to rear bumper. The exterior mirrors are wearing socks
to prevent scuffing on them. The car then has on it a Beveryly Hills
Car Cover of Evolution IV. The car has on it a steering wheel club,
and an Auto Lok brake club. The coil is removed, as is the car's
battery. To prevent towing, the car, roperly backed into the garage,
wears dual rear tire/wheel boots. Then the car sit on the "Car
Jacket" a nyon webbed 360 degree all encompassing extremely tough
material car jacket that zips closed & locks with two locks. The car
jacket zipper is then wired to an external alarm system comprised of
a loud siren that goes off if the zipper is toyed with. Before
zipping it closed under the car, but inside the car jacket I place 3
bucket containers of material that takes the dampness out of the air.
To combat the smell of fuel, from the enclosed "being" I sprinkle
around under the car some peppermint slivers. Then the garage is
locked with a Brinks < brand > $30.00 lock. The "spare key" is in the
vault. The man who actually lives in the house where I rent the
garage owns & keeps a loaded Remington Hunting Rifle, as well as a
Lugar Hand Gun.
When were you interested in obtaining the car?
