what would you do if someone put expanding foam in your tailpipe at your work
yea some peckerhead put expanding foam in my tailpipe,probably friday morning when it was still dark,in my work parking lot, right in front of a closed drive in door. first redmuck wouldnt start and i figured i flooded it,so i opened the hood to see if can see anything wrong and couldnt. so i tried to start it again,i put the pedal to the floor and he started and stayed runnin and i noticed how quiet the exhaust was,so i decided to look back there and there is some kind of foam stuffed in there. i got a stick and found out it was expandind foam,it was sealed on the outside and still wet beyond that,but managed to blow some of it out when starting it. reved it to 3 grand and got it all out except for what stuck to the inside of the pipe. stupid me should've went right to the office and seen if they got it on camera. ill do it monday,but it might be too late.either way im reporting it.

Are you a new employee working your tail off trying to prove something? Thats usually when crap like that happens. reporting it will only make matters worse if thats the case. All I can say is paybacks are hell

Hide a quart of atf under the hood. Run a vacuum line to it from the intake. Then walk away.
It will smoke like a coal train and barely run, but shouldn't damage anything

He may want to make sure it was this guy before doing anything about getting even. Just because this guy thinks redmuck was a jerk for throwing gravel around in the parking lot doesn't mean he was the one that screwed with his Cherokee.

Sure it wasn't a buddy playing a joke? We do stuff like that all the time to eachother at work but we are professional mechanics so that comes with the territory.
My personal favorite is a can of sardines opened and tie strapped to the frame/body, in the heat of summer of course.
