Just as school begins, and I have 31 wonderful twinkies on wheels to keep running,(of which 3 have died) I have to contend with vandals putting baggies into the fuel system, complete with slices of bread!
I am NOT looking forward to draining the fuel to go looking for the missing Wonder bread, as I am the only one here. The PTB told me that they don't believe this to be a serious problem. HA,HA!! Hope they know how to clean a fuel tank through 2 small openings!!
I believe it's time to consider a new form of mental/physical abuse.

| Yeah, some folks don't know the labor involved in repairing these "small" offenses. Reminds me of a story one of my drivers told me. This driver cuts up junk iron when he's not driving and has quite a bit on hand sometimes. While he was gone on the bus route one day a crew dropped by his house and stole several ton of iron. The police were called and after a few minutes they told him it's just "junk" we don't see a need to file a report. lol It's called value of one's time. Our society doesn't value real work any longer. |

| We had a kid cut up several seat covers in a brand new c2 a few years ago. The manager told us to get the price of a new seat cover from Thomas, which they were over $100. We gave him that price and he told us, "oh we can't charge them that much." Tell me how that makes any sense at all.... |

I want to know what kind of seat cover costs over $100! NYHB Fireblocks go for about $38 here these days.
I watched a kid on video rip up 4 covers in one afternoon (2 bottom, 2 back). Yeah, that was an expensive bill for mom and dad! |

| We had just gotten our 2011 C2s delivered. They had the newer style seats that were more square. In fact when we ordered the replacements, no one had them in stock anywhere yet. And yes they were over $100 at that point in time. |
