Heart sink moment..short lived
So I'm changing my transmission oil with a mate. I hold the drain pan, he undoes the drain plug, and hands it to me saying -Jesus..what's this? The drain plug has a little swarf on the magnet..and a 10mm nut.
A transmission rebuild starts to filter into my head, sweat runs down my back, I laugh nervously thinking how the gearbox will lunch itself when I'm next driving, when I see a smirk start to cross his face.. He'd put it there. The sleight of hand was amazing - I was totally taken in! Let it be a warning to you all..

Swarf is the metallic mush that collects on drain plug magnets.Not to be confused with Dwarf. (Now, a Dwarf on my drain plug, that would have been confusing..)

You can let him know before he calls the wrecker to take it to the shop to drain the tank!
Or... Put a locking gas cap on his car and keep the key. Put a note on there to call you when he needs to fill up!
Now... If you REALLY want to pay him back... Get one of those basting syringes with the long, thin needle. Fill it with the Fox or Deer urine that hunters use. Then pierce the rubber weatherstripping next to his car window and spray the urine all inside the car. It doesn't leave a mark and he will never know how the smell got there. He won't be able to get the smell out unless he changes the carpeting and or upholstery.
I could go on but you all will start to wonder about me!

Slip a kipper into his heat exchangers ... or send me his address and I'll send some of my more unsavoury HD riding bros round to camp on his front lawn.
