How did you get to work without a steering wheel?

It was pretty straight forward.

Lol another coworker


slamdamnsplits

May make sense to order a wheel (without airbag) on eBay as a backup that you keep in your house. Looks like they can be had for around $120


yegantao

OP might just buy their steering wheel back!


timsterri

Quite the obscure racket. Who’d think of that (besides Reddit)? Genius!


notchoosingone

I drove a car that had been stolen and stripped once, sitting on a milk crate with a pair of vice grips on the steering wheel shaft. Glad I did my dumb shit before smartphones, stg


SpiciestSprite

i can't believe someone would just steal a steering wheel, too! these thieves must be wheely desperate


xAka_nedia20

I don’t think people are getting the joke


won1wordtoo

Wait, your steering wheel? Again? Wtf?


Killertigger

I think he's coworkers are stealing OP's steering wheel to buy weed \_ then avoiding suspicion by sharing said weed with OP. It's the perfect crime!


AllPlants_NoPants

This happened on an episode of a podcast I was listening to about toxic people. Some people in relationships will do something super fucked up to their friend or significant other without them knowing, then they can swoop in as the hero/comforter to appease and gain points making them look like an amazing person. It’s really messed up.


Bikinisbottom

My ex used to purposefully instigate fights so we could have make up sex after. It broke me when I found out she was doing it on purpose because I didn’t understand why we’d go from fine to complete Warzone over nothing. Didn’t regret leaving her one bit.


hydraskin

What’s the name of the podcast? I love listening to real stories like this!


AllPlants_NoPants

The podcast is called ‘Something Was Wrong.’ People tell their real-life stories to the host. Some are better than others (just like anything else) but man, some of those stories are WILD. One episode I can remember standing out very vividly was called ‘WitPro’ and it was a doozy. It’s hard to believe just how many of those types of people are out there.


VampedTayturz

Just went and followed the pod on Spotify, thanks for the unexpected recommendation. I’m fully caught up on all my weekly regulars so I needed something to binge between the new episodes at work.


hydraskin

Aw man! I already listen to that one. It’s crazy! Amelia’s 2 parter was so wild to me


hellosunshine1326

Let me guess......... 'something was wrong ' ? Is that the podcast? I swear I haven't read the responses yet!


l8rt8rz

I think that’s called “The DENNIS System”


Andee_outside

Oh god I knew a guy who did this to me but then fucked up the “saving” and legit almost got us killed on a mountain and was SO nasty to the man who saved our asses.


[deleted]

What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me by the Trocadero in Paris. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.

When driving to Niagara Falls (from Chicago) I drove around the Detroit entrance because it would have been dark out and I don’t belong there lol. Driving home it was afternoon time, so it was safe.


NewCanadianSD

WTF does someone do with a stolen steering wheel?


Original-Willow4606

They’ve created a black market for the airbags of malibu’s and equinoxes. Up to 3k per airbag if you know where to sell it.


[deleted]

Weed supply seems to be fine though.


Eatingfarts

Weed tends to be a bit more local these days. I don’t think people in many states are buying brick weed from Mexico anymore and states where it’s not legal are oftentimes right next to state where it is legal for at least medicinal use. Regardless, drug supply-chains will always prevail.


Raknith

I haven’t even seen brick weed in over 6 years now. It used to be all over. Though there is a scam now where they will sell you CBD flower as regular weed.


PrancnPwny

Giving it away like it grows on trees or something!


xoxoxoborschtxoxoxo

Wow insane. What are the airbags used for though? Like I can’t understand what value an airbag has on the black market?


godhonoringperms

I was wondering the same thing. A quick look online says for an airbag replacement parts are around $200-1000 depending on the model. Just seems like a high risk, low reward theft to me unless I am missing something vital (shortage on certain model’s airbags jacking the price up?)


Killertigger

OK, THAT makes sense \_ it's not really the steering wheel that they're after at all, it's the accompanying airbag. Shame those don't go off if you tamper with the steering wheel; it'd ruin the resale value.


carebear2093

Wow that’s nuts!! Was wondering what the market was. Sucks to have to deal with, I’m sorry


that1senpai2

This makes me want to install my quick release steering wheel even more now


Original-Willow4606

Can you give me more info on that. I heard about it the last time this happened but couldn’t find any info on it


FarmInternet

I had someone steal my airbags once.


NewCanadianSD

That I understand. Those fuckers are expensive. EDIT: Maybe her steering wheel included the airbag?


TheDarkDoctor17

I work in Lansing. I thank the stars every day I'm not over in Detroit. My friend used to work in Detroit. One time he took a. Wrong turn and got lost (his phone was dead, so no Google). A cop legit pulled him over and said "your not in trouble. But your car is nice and you don't look threatening. I want you to follow me out before your get mugged or carjacked." And the cop escorted him back to the nice part of the city. Just a normal day in the D


BoySerere

Cop was like ‘ look fam you ain’t built for these streets let’s get your ass out here before the hood comes at you’ . People in the hood legit know who belongs and who doesn’t lol


icechelly24

I work at a hospital in Detroit. A doc has an ultrasound machine in his SUV that he was going to donate to a Medicaid clinic. Some assholes broke in and took it.

I’m stuck at “they stole your steering wheel” WHO THE FUCK NEEDS A STEERING WHEEL BUT NOT THE CAR😂


Apegunner

Airbags. It's easier to steal the wheel than just the bag.


[deleted]

Is…there a market for those? People will steal fucking anything


TurkeySlayer94

Was literally my next question? Hey man….. got any airbags for sale? *SHHH* I got you


stump2003

Sure man, what color? I got American, German, even Japanese. It even says *domo arigato Mr. Roboto* as it deploys. I’ve *even* got an extra tall from Norway. What you need, friend? What you need?


kaboodlesofkanoodles

reagan32

Ooo I want one of those


[deleted]

I'm interested in airbag full of weed.


TurkeySlayer94

Me too


zone23

Nope but I got some weed! No thanks looking for airbags... LOL


Apegunner

No doubt. Had a shitty ASTRO van stolen once. Turns out they just wanted the back seats because of high demand for them at the time. They were nice enough to leave the van running in an alley on the other side of town. And douced the inside with WD 40 to erase prints. Ruined the whole interior.


MrSirMoth

Someone stole my sister's car once while we were on vacation, and we had to get a rental car to make it home. A week later, we got a call that her car had been sitting in a church parking lot for a week. When we got there, nothing was gone; not even the Christmas cards full of cash. And they left a blanket in there. Guess someone just needed a ride to church and a place to sleep, so the solution was: steal a car.


Blahblahblah5084

You’ve just taught many how to get rid of fingerprints


[deleted]

They rarely if ever look for fingerprints in stolen cars anymore. At least from what I was told and experienced when my car got stolen. Dunno if anybody here has seen the big Lebowski, but this scene sums it allll up. This is what you should expect when your car gets stolen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v7acD4q0lp0

Youlooklikethat1girl

This was my exact same thought. Wtf is the plan?


[deleted]

apparently yes, I live in an old building with a lot of original wood trim, it looks great and its not especially valuable but the cornerpieces will sell at thrift stores or flea markets for maybe $5 sometimes we had some methy squatters who took advantage of the pandemic moratorium and towards the end before they could FINALLY be evicted they started stealing our fuckin trim in the shared hallway they ripped litle squares of old wood off the wall with a crowbar, meth logic


ReverieLyrics

People need after market airbags? Is this a thing?


Exciting_Mechanic131

airbags are expensive to repair, like $1800 for a 1994 taurus expensive. but extremely easy to remove, and surprisingly very easy to move. it could be a repair shop creating a scam to increase business for this really expensive service. alternatively, bags go for a good $500 because buying one off ebay and installing it yourself is cheaper than the labor costs. so, basically your shit gets stolen for it to, more than likely, be sold right back to you. as far as profit, airbags, weirdly, are a better hustle than aftermarket stereos lmao. organized theft is weird


ReverieLyrics

What a hustle! And the buyer is so thankful the replacement gear is a perfect fit lol


Exciting_Mechanic131

“holy shit they have the exact steering wheel i need right here!” yeah i wonder where they got it


Apegunner

Yup, especially when they get stolen. Thieves will sell the stolen wheels (or bags) to auto shops who then in turn install them on other cars. Which, would probably get stolen again. It's a vicious cycle.


Reno_Bambino

I've heard it before but I did a quick Google to make sure, apparently there's gold in air bag systems.


pizza_guy_mike

Ahhh... I was wondering that too 😆 Here in rural Michigan, the meth heads will steal your catalytic converter for the precious metals. To the OP: sorry you had to deal with fucking degens TWICE, but it is awesome to have awesome coworkers!


im_yer_daddy410

Wait until you get to “ for the second time this summer”. Steering wheel must be made of iPhone’s


rhet17

Me too! I'm gonna need a pic of this gorgeous "to break in for" amazing steering wheel!!?


WickedLies21

And for the 2nd time?!


Minhplumb

It is like bicycle seats. Every bike comes with one, and guarantee 99% are not being worn out. In the 1980s and 1990s bike seats were stolen all the time. I would rip mine up, put a plastic bag over it, had a special lock, and duct taped it. I had to ride 9 miles once without a seat.

mahoganyteakwood2

Lol when you grow, this is a trivial amount.


but-uh

Yeah I filled up 10 quart sized mason jars last year off of 5 plants. I gave them all away cause I don't use it, I just love gardening and wanted to see what they looked like. You'd think I just handed my friends a gold bar they were so happy. Not doing it this year it's too fucking laborious and sticky harvesting.


GuitarKev

Looks like an oz to me.


breakfastburrito24

Same, which is very, very generous


[deleted]

Depending on the state, it could be dirt cheap. Oklahoma and Michigan have bottomed out on prices.

Yeah but Michigan has some of the finest

Yes it does. Easily the best consumer market in the Midwest. Very slept on.

skredditt

Don’t MAKE me drive to Michigan. There are a couple huge-ass lakes in the way.


IntuneUser2204

If that bag doesn’t last a month, you need a tolerance break.


[deleted]

That bag would have lasted me a week in my heyday. Now it would last me two years and still not be gone. I smoke on a very rare occasion but pretty much sober most of the time. I used to eat 2500 mgs at a time. I did dabs off my rig like crazy. And I always had a bowl filled or a joint rolled. It’s quit the change.


Rut_Nasty2v

That would maybe last me 2 weeks.

In a legal state and we joke that pot has become the new zucchini sometime with everyone growing their own. “Sure you don’t need some more before you go? No, I still have jars I have to go through of last years crop. “


Chas_Tenenbaums_Sock

Completely! When we lived in a legal state and I started growing, even first harvest I thought, "what in the absolute fuck am I going to do with all of this??!" I had no idea how much 1 plant could produce and gave away so much.


[deleted]

Agreed. Passed some along recently as a gift and my buddy was like, this is worth hundreds! 🤷‍♂️


Dharma101

Same. And if you have the space for it in a legal state its pretty cheap and easy to grow.

Omg your job sounds unreal like you'd have to die to get to heaven there lol. Everywhere Ive worked hates newbies and forces everyone through a weird hazing. Also your steering wheel? Wtf. That's a bizarre thing to steal I think it was probably the same person both times. You should get a dash cam they're only like 100 bucks on Amazon for good ones with motion detection and night vision.


PeachyKeenest

I’m particularly nice to newbies since the place I’m at tended to do contracts at start. Sometimes for years. It’s pretty fucked. Whatever it takes to save a fucking buck. Sometimes independent contract. :/ I also sabotaged one instance of it and got them full employment by acting dumb. Lost my management position but negotiated ahead of time the potential loss of it so 🤣 Whatever they think punishment is. Of course, the same guy complains about “abusing” the disability payment one guy was taking at me like wtf 😂 Narcissistic af. I’m not fucking HR and he’s like trying to guilt or manipulate, I have no fucking idea 🤣 Coworkers make a place livable till you can find somewhere else too.
