Hey, Destroyit is a safe place to visit if you don't know anyone. Most murders are among acquaintances, relatives, or business / love competitors.

Re: Just a couple of cars I saw lately
a lot of the tows we get in detroit are domestics. baby daddy/husband/ex has the keys and so "veh won't start needs tow" to the wife/gf/baby momma house...of course it won't START without KEYS even the new fangled cars have to have the fob inside the car to START....Rope-Pusher wrote: ↑Tue Jan 01, 2019 11:58 pmHey, Destroyit is a safe place to visit if you don't know anyone.

Re: Just a couple of cars I saw lately
closest i get to detroit is the westin southfield every spring for penguicon. i park in the parking garage (as close to an entrance as possible, preferably, its a short garage and no tow truck fits...) and then leave after 3-4 days...usually never leaving the hotel during con.
last time my drivers found out i was in detroit - and didn't come see them - they got annoyed/fake mad. sorry dudes. i wasn't driving on 8 mile in my deceased grandpa's car....2019 it'll be a rental but still. no thanks.

Re: Just a couple of cars I saw lately
That has me wondering if smithing trucks are still able to create a key (more likely to be a fob) to help stranded people things.

I don't think the corporate wisdom has decayed quite to the point where a dead battery means you have to put a forklift through the windows, heave the thing on a flatbed, and haul it off to the junkyard.
Most of the fob-only vehicles I'm aware of have a hidden key in the fob and a pop-off panel on the driver's door handle that exposes a hidden keyhole. That one would still be susceptible to the tools of the trade.

Re: Just a couple of cars I saw lately
smithing trucks? like locksmiths? Yes they can make fobs. its more expensive at night, and the dealer usually needs to be open to get codestankinbeans wrote: ↑Sat Jan 05, 2019 1:39 pm That has me wondering if smithing trucks are still able to create a key (more likely to be a fob) to help stranded people things.
most people don't know where their hidden keys are. easist calls for my drivers...IMBoring25 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 05, 2019 10:49 pm I don't think the corporate wisdom has decayed quite to the point where a dead battery means you have to put a forklift through the windows, heave the thing on a flatbed, and haul it off to the junkyard.

i don't know either cuz i don't own a car. many people are surprised when they find i'm working for aaa but no car. we don't get a discount on insurance, only a free basic (5 mile) membership, so i'm not getting a car...

Re: Just a couple of cars I saw lately
Yup, I meant locksmiths. Hadn't occurred to me that smithing is more metallurgy than picking locks.
Related note, I know where my locks only key is, on the pooper of the fob. Can't start shit with it, but can get in the car.

Re: Just a couple of cars I saw lately
you may have moved but the closest locksmith thats contracted to shakopee is in savage and they're days only - which is cheaper for members, but they do not like being told to call back later....the only part of MN i don't cover is hennepin county. the rest is my aaatankinbeans wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 11:43 am Yup, I meant locksmiths.
