6:30 AM - park @ NJ Railways train station parking lot as I decided to take public transport today.
7:30 PM - return - to see huge # of policemen, fire fighters, etc.

Apparently - few miscreants decided to find new cars in the lot (registration sticker in windshield dead giveaway). Then they sprayed https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned)on the rear wheels - rotors/pads/etc. Did it across 10 cars.

Mine was saved only because a. I don't park where everyone parks b. I park somewhere away, away (least used areas) so that my doors don't get dinged. c. there's this camera (another building) capturing my section of park.

WHAT A HORRENDOUS IDEA = this is extreme. The cars, wheels, everything is super locked/glued now. The police folks are talking to some chemical company to see if there are some solvents, etc.
 
I though stealing people's wheels and leaving the car on the ground was evil. The spray foam is far beyond evil. I just dread that anyone decides to emulate this.
 
A few years ago, reported on one of the motorcycle forums that I'm a member of, someone took offense to the loud pipes of a neighbor's Harley. It seems that this Harley rider liked to make sure that everyone in the neighborhood enjoyed the sound of his straight pipes at 5:30am as he headed off to work. His bike wasn't nearly as loud when his pipes where filled with expanding foam.

Apologies to everyone else while we wander nostalgically off-topic.

I was in the womb when JFK was shot. Didn't see the first landing on the moon that I can remember but I was round by then. (yippy)

Is this park and ride location in a bad area or what could be called a dread zone or no go zone?

No, actually. Metropark parking lot, NJ, Iselin/Woodbridge/Edison. Amazing. 1000 cars park there. I know the cop, he's from my town. Caught him yesterday directing traffic due to snow ladden fallen tree. They have not caught the miscreant yet. A total of 7 cars - all between 2018 - 2016 impacted. (I initially said 10, I am wrong). All high end luxury cars. Surprisingly, comprehension coverage is proving to be difficult per car/per owner / per insurance.

Ah, the good old days. Can't believe how fast time moves now.
I was in grade 9 when JFK was shot, and also watched the moon landing live.
I still have a bunch of my toys and stuff from when I was a kid, and every once in a while a family member will tell me I should sell the stuff because it's worth money.
Yea well, maybe so, but I just can't bring myself to let it go. My grandkids can sell my stuff when I'm gone.....lol
