Nick Cage

Or Maybe It's An Anti-Nick Cage

A Chinese man has built a cage for his car to stop thieves nicking parts and demanding "ransom money". Mr Zhang, of Jilin city, says his car's computerised engine management system was stolen twice. "Each time I found a note clipped under the wipers, with phone and bank account numbers," he said. He has built the steel cage to enclose his car outside his home.

FOOTNOTE: Steal-belted radials.

Alternate Footnote:

Due to this new cagey response, sales of car computerized management systems plummet on ebay...

Turn the note over to the cops with the phone and bank account numbers and you can nab your idiot thief. Hello! :)

"Steal-belted radials." Very clever, David. Very clever.

Wouldn't it be easier just to find a garage?
