Just after I made that post I remembered that someone tried to steal the stock stereo out of my old Sable at least once. My best friend lived in an apartment that was literally overrun with shady characters, I mean one day I showed up and the forensics van was parked in the spot I usually took, they had found a body nearby. Anyway, my car had a dome light that would stay on for like 2-3 minutes after you pulled the handle to try and open it when it was locked, and about once a week I'd come out and the dome light would be on. So one day I'm carring some tools out to the car and see some short dude, prolly a kid, crouched near my door and holding a screwdriver. Of course I become enraged, dropping everything but the utility knife and this kid sees me and starts to run like hell. In retrospect, it was pretty damn funny since he looked up and sees this great big Scandinavian guy screaming like a madman and running at him with a knife. 8) I actually don't know what I would have done had I caught him, but I'm hoping he at least had to change his underwear after that incident.

Try rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab. I had to do that after a Mountain Dew and a milkshake were simultaneously dumped onto my dash. :( Took a while, but it looks like new again.
