[DML] Protecting your D look!!!

[efren hicks <marty_mcflyJr@xxxx>]

hey walter

the club is a very bad idea for all members to use 
as a "protection device" do u know how easy it is to
steal a car with a club all u have to do is bring a
saw and cut the leather (takes less than 15
seconds)steering wheel take the club off mess with
the ignition and the car is gone i recommend u get
that new lock that goes on your pedals i dont know if
u have heard about it . its the best one ive seen i
should know i live in eas los angeles i see car get
jacked all the time
