You Are Stapled

"You are stapled," said the cashier at the Chrysler car place. "I have always wanted to be stapled and it didn't hurt a bit, although I always thought it would hurt to be stapled," I replied. We looked at each other and then laughed. Happily, HW2 and I went home with our new car radio. We had traded out our radio that also did navigation for a radio that would allow us to receive satellite radio. We arrived home and decided that we needed the serial numbers of the new radio so that the satellite people would know exactly what unit to turn on. We called the Chrysler place and decided we had better return as it required special tools to remove the radio, and all the numbers that we needed were on the back of the radio. Mark inserted two special tools, and the radio was easily removed so that we could write down the numbers we needed. Do thieves need these special tools to steal your radio??

We returned home, and HW2 called Sirius Radio and after answering many crazy questions finally got a real person and quickly discovered that none of the numbers we had were useful. The real person suggested that we call XM satellite radio and probably the numbers were ones that they used. HW2 called XM and got a real person after some more unnecessary questions, who proved very helpful. None of these numbers worked for XM either. Then we called the company that supplied the radio to the Chrysler dealer, and they informed us that there was no satellite radio for our type of car. Well, we called the Chrysler place AGAIN, and they said they would check into this mess for us and, at worst, put our original radio back in. See what happens when you get stapled!!!!
