bböp Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I got my passenger window smashed in there after Jeff's solo show a couple of years ago. Nothing got stolen, fortunately. There was apparently some sort of neo-Nazi rally there the next day. Not a great place, in my experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whitty Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 If you simply re-install your wipers on the interior of the windshield, you can prevent this sort of thing from happening again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 In the last 3 weeks I've had my car totalled while parked by a hit & run drunko, got mugged, and to top it all off, this morning my steps were really icy, but I couldn't put any salt down because someone has apparently stolen my bag of salt. Kingston doesn't sound so bad to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good Old Neon Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 wiping vives It could have been worse, they could have stolen your car, leaving only the wipers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 I don't think it was a prank. Kingston is full of broke-ass people, and it had been rainy lately. I think somebody just wanted a pair of new wipers without paying for them. This hasn't turned me into a conservative, but boy would I like five minutes in a room with just me, the perp and an aluminum baseball bat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
embiggen Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 stealing windshield wipers just seems kind of bizarre and extreme. but whatever. sorry for your loss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sweetheart-mine Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 i lived in kingston from age 5 to 8. we had our very own teenage sicko living right across the street. he shot my older brother in the head with bb's every chance he got; made my younger brother lick the bottom of his shoes; trapped me in a room in their house and put a bumble bee under the door to freak me out (he succeeded). these are just minor examples; i'm sure he went on to have a full-fledged adult sicko career. i'd never take my wipers to kingston, and you shouldn't have either.

deepseacatfish Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Wiper vibes dude. Grinnell Iowa is not a den of thieves, but I did have a window smashed by (I'm assuming) some drunken persons. So it goes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 One of my coworker's boyfriend had changed the wipers on his car, and my coworker left the old wipers on my seat at work this morning as a joke. I thought for a while that those wipers were my actual stolen ones, because it was 10 in the morning and my brain doesn't operate well until at least noon. It was kind of funny.
