I'd call this situation a Win-Win!

I would too- I'm also calling it a learning lesson. Just listening to the
feedback and comments of "so-called friends" has been a real eye opener.
Since the car is in the shop and already being restored to a very
marketable condition you would not believe the things I have heard. There
are some selfish greedy *******s out there who think only of themselves
and I hope they don't ask a favor of me as they are getting billed full
shop time now. I have heard so much "gimme-gimme-gimme" today I want to
puke. I don't know where the world went wrong or if it's just the area I
live in and I'm glad to be moving to a farm if that's the case but I have
lost a lot of respect for a lot of people over the last two days and one
will be jailed tomorrow morning as I saw him putting a box in his trunk. I
just need to file a police report so I don't get sued by him first (Dumb
**** took a dual quad manifold with carbs on it right in front of a
recording security video camera.) Illinois has some scum in it.. You guys
have been the only honest voice of reason and I sincerely mean it. other
that you it's all been about what someone can get for nothing. My dad
said it's like turning the lights on and watching the roaches run away but
only in reverse.... Sorta makes sense if you think about it.

There are some disappointments and some good moments in this getting old
thing. The down side is that there are a lot of scummy people around. The
good news is that there are some good ones left, too. I'm paring down that
adolescent need I had for "friends", and now consider myself lucky that I
can count on my fingers my "real friends".

The ones who would come out on a rainy night at 2 AM and help you get
unbroke down on the freeway. The same ones you'd get out of bed to do the
same thing.

And when some bonehead does pull a theft or underhanded deed, I don't
hesitate to pull the trigger on him/her/it because maybe I'll help the next
guy that I don't even know.
