I own a speed shop in Kingsport. Tonight 3 guys came in and 2 talked to me while the other tried to still some lights. They were stupid because the 2 that were distracting me bought a set of racing seats and said they would be back to get them. I was not 100% sure that the other guy stole the lights($30 item) so I let them leave and I reviewed my security tape and sure enough he stuck it down his pants. I had police waiting on them when they got back to get the seats. The other 2 just made me a few hundred on the seats so I was nice and let him go. I did make him pay for the lights though. He just swore that he just forgot to pay for them. I was like "sure I always stick stuff in my pants that I mean to pay for".

Just goes to show you a security camera is worth every penny.

How much do you get seats for? I am looking at some seats and wondering what a good price is for one, particulary the Sparco Torinos. The specs say they are made of memory foam, and if that is true, wow that should feel pretty nice. The cheapest I have seen them for are $529. How much would you be able to get them for?
