Stolen tank parts!

Post by jackalope »

So I went to do a little work on my King Tiger this afternoon like replacing the plastic tow cable mounts with metal ones I ordered and installing the new gearboxes when I notice the commanders machine gun is missing along with the tools from the one side. I couldn't figure out what had happened all the parts were there just a week ago when I ran it, so I went to look where I had it sitting and low and behold I found what was left of the machine gun but the other parts were gone. I couldn't figure it out and then Smokey our one rescue cat comes hopping up to where I had my tanks parked and starts sniffing around, he picks up the half of the machine gun thats left in his mouth and tries to run off but I grabbed him first and took it back. Then I looked closely at my tank and found scratch marks on it where all the missing parts had been that looked suspiciously like cat teeth marks! I grabbed our rotten cat and compared the marks and they matched! The damn cat stole my parts off my tank! What he did with them who knows but he likes to chew on little things so I'm thinking they were turned into cat tooth picks!

Then I noticed the side cable on my Tiger was damaged and that happened just last night! That little **** head is eating my tanks! So from now on they stay in my bedroom and NOT down stairs anymore. Now I have to order new detail kits for both of my tanks to replace the stuff my cat stole.

Perhaps you should build a CATapult to eject the cat from the premises? :haha:

And to think I gave that little **** head a home and took care of all his health problems and this is the way he repays me, EATING my tanks one piece at a time! We just hope he didn't swallow any of the bits. :thumbdown:

You value the parts, therefore I value the parts.

Are you sure the cat is eating them and what in fact you really have is the reincarnation of Hauptsturmfuhrer Wittmann rebuilding his Tiger!!!! He is showing his annoyance because it is not a TIGER 1 >:< shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
