stealing someone elses? You can pick 1 up in the marketplace for like $10 or less for someone went to a stubby! There is no reason to steal from people because you were stolen from!

Yeah, that's extremely lame. Let me get this straight, you stole one off of another MINI? Not that that makes a difference, really, but I'm just trying to guage the depths of your shamelessness.

Don't say we didn't warn you when karma comes back to bite in the form of a windshield crack or flat tire.

Did you go key another car after that? I understand you where frustrated when someone stole your antenna but come on. To go and "Debo" Someone elses, thats wrong.

Hell, why stop at taking their antenna? Next time, take the engine.

A classic example showing that 'two wrongs dont make a right'. This makes you no better than the one who copped your antenna.

Somethings tells me something like loctite would interfere with the whole idea of an antenna. By using a thread locker you would in essense create a little layer of goop between metal and thus make the antenna pretty much useless.

Here we go again.

What is it with you all people who can't park worth a crap, decide to commit crimes, or make your wives feel like crap????

And to make it worse, you broadcast your crime on the Internet. How smart is that?

Someone stole my antenna topper once. I got an el cheapo one from walmart for like a buck.

What's worse, is i was IN walmart when they stole it. WTH?

If someone takes my decapitated barbie, there will be trouble. I've had that head since i was really little. I accidentally stood on the barbie with my knee and broke the ball holding the head on and cracked her neck. It was a sad day.

Do you realize that you are demonstrating criminal reasoning?

You should take some ethics classes, and then an intensive class in critical thinking/reasoning.

This can't be serious. There isn't a person in the world STUPID enough to attempt to pass off such anti-reason.

If you are serious, have you actually tried saying out loud what you've done? It goes something like this (repete, sil vous plais):

Someone took [my] antenna.
[I] felt angry that someone would do that to [me]
So, [I] did the same damn thing.
Doh!

Really? You think he was just posting this as a joke? It seems like a joke, his skewed logic is surely a joke, but the entire thing is not even remotely funny.

Why else would someone post this? To me, it sounds like someone bragging about something he did in hopes to gain acceptance for doing something he knew was wrong.
