NEW LIFETIME BATTERY

I had my battery stolen this morning while it was parked on the street overnight.  The thieves actually were quite careful, making sure to leave the metal clamps on the battery tray so that I wouldn't find them scattered near my tire in the gutter.  So I should be thankful.  

Anyway, got a new battery.  A Lifetime battery was stolen from my car at 1am on Thursday morning, May 1, 2014.  It cost me $127.20.  Score:  THIEVES, 1; MIKE, 0.  But it's early in the game.
