When I lived in California I wrapped a bunch of chain around the cat on my truck. Wasn't actually that secure but thieves see a ton of chain and padlocks and go "ehhhh keep moving."


I believe that. A big part of security isn't making your property theftproof, but making it more work than your neighbor's.


You don't have to outrun the bear...


Around the cat?

That must mean something different than I am imagining.


Those Persians look like fluffy dusters, but mess with a man's truck that one is guarding, and it'll flip out like a ninja angel of bloody vengeance.

When you buy a new F-150, a Persian guard cat is an even more essential add-on than a bed liner.


If you live in a city, yeah maybe.

I have 3 removed cats in the toolbox of my truck, which I don’t lock, and neither they nor the truck have been touched.

I even loaned the truck out to a rando on Facebook marketplace when I gave a fridge away, for free. Truck and cats came back


I think that in your eagerness to malign cities, you might have missed the joke.


The very next day?


We thought he was a goner.


I mean I live in a city now (denser than any city in the Bay) and I left my truck unlocked for 3 months before I sold it.

Btw, in case this is relevant: if you have a 1st gen Tacoma, never sell that thing. Still miss that truck.


96 250, non-diesel. I’ll never get rid of it.


Short for catalytic converter.
