    The nice thing about it is that I can look with my Smartphone and see where the car is at all times.

    The car CAN'T be stolen, unless they cram it into a metalized Shipping container and even then, it would show WHERE that is (or was). So if the car ever does get stolen, I just show the police where the car is within 10 feet or so.

    So you work across the street from the homo depot? That'd be extremely dangerous for me. I nearly go broke every time I walk into that store.

    Wouldn't "Homo Depot" be a great name for a gay bar?
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Hey, I used to be a chainsaw repair man for real—in South San Francisco, no less. Didn't get a lot of gay guys in the shop that I recall, although that was thirty years ago, back when it was still a little dicey to be totally out to the general public, even in that area.

    Your passcode is: 9371

    Seriously, try it. It'll work.

    And, to prevent anyone else from having to buy the app (Although, it does support development): http://aprsdroid.org/download/
