Most of you know the old "bits wagon" or "battlewagon" GW used to travel the Northeast US area and sell bits at hobby stores was stolen twice.  Once at a hobby store stop where it was gutted and all the merchadise stolen, and once in baltimore for what the culprits thought was a gun in the black GW case.  The case and the army it contained, was thrown from the van and happened to land in front of the Baltimore Federal Courthouse. This lead to its' destruction at the hands of a bomb demolition team.

But what you don't know is that the sleek 1994 Forest Green Grand Caravan SE with personialized plates BTLEWGN, that is the flagship of  Battlewagon Bits, was stolen a few weeks ago.

A very attractive amazonian police officer informed me at 2am that morning, that  they had found my stolen van.  The problem was, that I had no clue it was missing, as it was stolen after I had returned home.

It seems that 6 minors took the van to go joyriding on the strip in Virginia Beach, VA.  Why anyone would cruise the strip in a mini-van is beyond my comprehention. Apparenty the police thought so too, and pulled them over.

The officer told me that "You should have had the club, any Chrysler product made before 2001 can be stolen with a screw driver." I thanked her for the advice and cried when she left.

So instead of getting the club, I decided to buy a cougar to lock in the van at night.

Thank you. Thank you Mrs. Police Officer Lady.




and yes this really happened, (except the cougar part).

Yeah, yeah... what would we do without all these hot policewomen out there...anarchy, I tell you...without any Bits.

I was working for the Company when the first Bitz Wagon was stolen! I was mad, because it was supposed to have come to our store and I wanted to get my greedy little hands on several bitz using my employee discount!

Chappy P!

If you cried while she was there, you could have cried on her shoulder and
given her time to break your heart more fully.

Must be a curse.

Try naming it the combat cart next time.

 

I was parked next to the Battlewagon when it was broken into at that Baltimore Gamesday. I saw the glass and panicked that it was from my car. The van itself was not stolen I thought.....

The employee of the Company whose case was stolen used to run the Battle Battle Bunker. He told me the story one time about that case and what happened and it made me double over laughing. He had just finished a super large, super converted, absolutley awesome Tyranid army.

 

Yo Kesher-

Bummer about the 'wagon...  Can you still drive it?  Hope you didn't have any of your armies in it at the time- that would have been a cryin' shame...  Good to know about the Chrysler tip though- maybe I'll steal it and cruise P-town next time I'm back...

Laaate!

or god forbid, put a kill switch in this thing.
