A few weekends ago I went down to the mall by my house to get a nextel phone turned on. Those of you with nextel know it doesn't take long to turn on a phone . I was inside maybe 20 minutes before I was done. I walked outside and right away I heard something running out in the parking lot ( i had my dump open) So I ran out to where I parked and found my car running the drivers door open and the window was down. The column was busted and turned a full 180. Every now and then the horn would blow because the wires were all twisted around the column and to top it all off I couldn't turn the car off and my phone wasn't working yet. About 2 minutes later a cop drives by and I tell him what happened he tells me that he's off duty so he can't do anything. After that he calls another cop on duty to come down and see whats going on. The cop gets there and asked if I left my car like that? So I asked him which way? Running, the door and window open or unlocked. So I tell him none of the above then he asked to see my car keys. I show him my keys and registration. Then he left when the tow truck came and nothing was ever done. I got lucky, thanks to kirbans column guard they had to break the column so bad they couldn't steer the car or put it in gear and thats why I still have the car. Then I got lucky again and Jeff(trackside performance) had a blue column parts car at the shop so I got a matching column to put back in the car.
For anyone that lives in South Florida this happened at boca town center mall and I was parked by the fridays near the glades road exit and I wasn't parked that far away from the mall or other people.
