You think it’s bad now, just wait.

This perfectly sums up our healthcare system.

unless its an unlimited like cell phone data plans.. Unlimited miles, but first 1000 miles are full speed, then restricted to 25mph only. 

“Unlimited” shouldn’t require a fine print. If Hertz doesn’t want people abusing their cars then they should just put on a high limit like 5k miles. You can’t try to advertise unlimited and then be surprised that someone will take you up on it.

You go home! We dry cleaner now.

“Hey fat boy, you go home. You be here four hour - eat all my eggroll..”

It doesn’t ever say what kind of car it was, that’s just a Hertz edition MachE because I had to have an image at the top of the story. 

Someone on another forum guessed that this might be a “hotshot” driver (urgent deliveries for people who are burning money and daylight at a ferocious rate for lack of a spare part or whatever).

LOL right, also unlimited means UNLIMITED unless it says it’s not in the fine print. But also how the hell do you drive 25k miles in a month. Like 1000 miles a day is almost 15 straight HOURS driving 70 mph. I like to drive but damn. That’s like driving across the US almost 9 times in a month.

Hertz is doing something stupid and having it blow up on social media is as predictable as a rainy day in Seattle 

Hey I don’t condone the action, but we need to start holding thieves to a higher level of accountability. If that means sending a message that you’re life will be at risk for your stupid and selfish behavior, so be it. Those people wouldn’t give a damn about ending your life stealing what could be a cheap trinket as…

Even if it’s fixable, that truck is totaled. Remember, Tesla uses their infamously unfixable "gigacastings". That means an impact like this has likely destroyed the entire front structure. Stick a fork in it, the truck is done. 

I like the name and shame method myself, over maiming anyone.

As lil John once said, “don’t start no shit, there won’t be no shit.”

Correct. “Man traps” are generally illegal, even on your own property.

The legal question of whether or not you can get away with setting traps on your property and injuring an intruder have long been settled, and it doesn’t end well for the homeowner setting the traps. 

Someone did this with glitter bombs some years ago, didn’t they?

Booby trapping your property with explosives would likely result in felony charges.  Just follow Mark Rober’s lead and make some stink/glitter bomb packages.

Just stage some packages filled with low-impact explosives, enough to maim but not kill the thieves. Let greed and criminality combined with chemistry and later damaged physiology fix the prob for ya.
