Go into any consumer electronics store. Take a clipboard and some UPS shipping labels and wear a white shirt. Pick out some cool stuff, go in the back, put it in a box, slap a shipping label with your address on it, and put it where it looks like outgoing boxes go. Then just walk out.

It's amazing where you can get with a white shirt and a clipboard. I've gotten onto airport ramps, into backstages, and into industrial facilities that way. Having an incompetent lackey helps if you are challenged for something you don't have.

Interesting thing: if you park at a broken parking meter, they can't ticket you! In LA, they put little red hoods on the broken meters...and everyone thinks it means no parking, so they park somewhere else. I always park at the broken meter, and never have to pay, and never get a ticket.

Well, Newark airport charges $35.00 a day for your car. If you lose your car ticket, you have to pay at least $35.00. Insane if you ask me, anyway, i took some black electrical tape, and 'changed some of the numbers of my license. I took my car to the airport on friday, and picked it up on monday, and "lost my ticket". I took the electrical tape off my plate, and went to the ticket guy, and told him i lost the ticket. He typed in my license plate, which wasn't in the computer (i said i was only there for an hour or so). Then got fined $35, instead of over $100. I was psyched, and they deserved it, for trying to make me pay so much for using their airport.

You were lucky that you FOUND your car where you left it. , was anything missing?

I've got a whole list of cool scams you can use every day for all kinds of neato stuff. Just email me your checking account number with routing number or credit card number and you have all the scams for only $5...

I like the pyramid scam but too many people know about it now. There are hundreds of variations, but basically you put your name on a list, then get 10 people to put their name below yours and pay you $1 or so. Then so on, everyone who signs up gets 10 people each to put their names down below yours and pay the 5 people above their name $1. If it works out properly, theoretically you will all be rolling in cash in a dozen or so iterations. The only drawback is that after a while, for it to proceed as planned, it would involve everyone on earth pretty fast. (exponential growth)

My favorite scam is the FAX scam where they SPAM your fax machine with a page that has 2 choices on it for Whatever. You are asked to vote yes or no and they will tally all the votes and forward the tally to Congress or Somewhere else. The 2 choices are 900 numbers that cost you $3.95 per call. Of course they will tally and report the results. They're making HUGE F'ing profit.

I love it. The general public is so stupid, they actually call the 900 numers.
