It only took a second to smash the window on my poor, old S-10! :( The
bugger did a lousy job of butchering the column and was unable to get it
anyway. So he tore off the steering wheel! After I finally got it back from
the body shop, I got a Club. Talk about closing the barn door! The '95
Dakota has an alarm with starter disable. If they're going to go after it,
they are going to EARN IT!!
