Mike Hamar tells Red Green how he knew da legal system --- and da back seat of a patrol car --- inside and out before he was sixteen, yet as an adult he still acts really naive and immature about many other topics; sounds like a classic case of arrested development to me.

Actually, of course, employing da "lowjack" technique will not likely alter how effective "LoJack" will be at locating and returning said stolen wheels --- da system works merely on da distance of movement of da plundered property from its home base, not on how high off da ground it is raised.

As any "Beetle Bailey" fan knows all too well, Sarge is so fond of food dat it occupies his mind and rules his life more than almost anything else, and so he would likely be adequately appeased in virtually any scenario if he was merely offered an ample helping of scrumptious delicacies as "compensatiation" for any labor, suffering, etc. dat he'd gone through.

But if you're pressed for time --- or even more so, if you're car-pooling with someone who is on a tight schedule --- THAT'S when there will be hold-ups galore... a long line in front of you, a customer with one or more heaped-full shopping-carts, one or more price-discrepancies that hafta be tediously resolved (i.e., the puzzled clerk is obliged to walk back with you to the shelf to look at the price-labels, a supervisor or the store-manager has to be called over), a balky card-scanner, etc."
Whenever someone who's giving me a ride is kind enough to let me stop at a store to grab a few items, I always try to make very sure that I have everything all "set and prepared" before I head to the register, so that I personally seldom create a problem (i.e., cause any delays myself with issues like not having the proper payment ready or being unsure of a price or quantity) with Murphy's Law of Checkout-Lines. That way, even if my driver has to wait linger than expected for me to hastily scamper back outside with my loaded shopping-bags, he won't be able to direct his impatient frustration at me --- "Sorry for the delay; I did indeed get everything tossed in my cart very quickly, but there was a long line in front of me, and they were short-staffed today, so they only had once register open."
