During the summer, he kept the back opened and his tools in plain site. A guy once attempted to reach in and pick up a tool, but got knocked flat on his rear end. Seems the craftsman had rigged up an ignition coil that connected to the car frame. If you touched the car, 20,000 volts suggested that was not a smart decision. Lew I guess I'd better mention that the law does not look kindly on these lethal little gadgets - or as a policeman once told me: if you're doubtful whether your deterrent is legal, better kill than injure!! Dead men tell no tales...he said. :-) Brian Whatcott Altus OK |

I suspect things were a whole lot different back then. Lew |
