How to prevent a fool from stealing your wheels

05/11/2006, 2:36 PM

By admin

Most honest car lovers might call anyone who would steal a car — or even wheels from a car — an idiot. But that’s not what we’re talking about here. No, we’re talking about a way to prevent a real moron from stealing your wheels. What’s the solution? Simply cover your wheels with a cardboard drawing of empty wheel wells. Don’t think it would work? Ok, maybe not. But it would make for an amusing prank against a gullible friend. From a distance, it looks somewhat convincing. Full image after the jump…

That’s pretty funny. They should have put in the cinder or wood blocks to prop up the car though. The idiot would think the car is suspended in the air!

This is one bad Photoshop job. Notice there’s no shadow by where the wheels should be. Fake.

They should have drawn in some jacks or bricks for support.

I think we need registration/forums so we can make fun of the idiots who don’t read the story, and they can’t get away with just changing their name.

And to the intelegent sales professional-

It’s intelligent.
