And that's why I will never move to the Northeast.

That is harsh - what is up with that?

I would have winched it out and left a note with a smily face and JK-forum logo on it.

Unfortunately this isn't the first vandalism/theft story I've heard that occurred in the Northeast.

Just speaking from experience and from statistics. Everyone I know from the Northeast is a pothead and/or a Democrat, neither of which I get along with very well.

Yeah, sort of. Santa Fe is about 450 miles southeast of Provo.

Even if all of my preconceived notions about Northeasterners are false, your off-roading destinations still don't even compare to what we have out in the wild, wild West. I could drive to Moab right now, run a couple of trails, and be back before the 10 o'clock news.
