about 20 minutes ago i ran to the closest corner store which happens to be a habeeb(sp?) store. its also in an area that is not known for money. its not the ghetto, but its def not a wealthy area. we are actually about 30 minutes from the money housing.
anyway, i pull up and i see this little mojo, im in south texas, cleaning and detailing a 2011 BMW M3, http://www.leftlanenews.com/bmw-m3.html# . not only is he detailing an expensive car in a not so safe neighborhood at 10 o'clock at night, but hes also doing this in a very dark area of the parking lot. hes in the far back corner with little lighting. i only noticed him because i drove around the back to get to the store.
first thing that went through my head was that its stolen...

he could have also been doing some fucked up shit and acting like he was detailing a car.
although their are different stages of a detail and i should assume you know the difference.

Detailing a stolen car in a neighborhood like that? I doubt it, he's probably a drug dealer.

Maybe the owner of that "habeeb(sp.)" store owns 9 more and is filthy rich and had his driver keeping up the car.
You're probably just regular old racist. j/k

Why the hell would any body with any street sense detail a stolen car in the corner of a dark parking lot?

most of these are good points, but i figured he made one last before his last destination to make sure all the crud from driving on the highway is cleaned off.
i guess it really could have been anything which is why i should have asked which i think i might start doing. whats the worse that could happen...

Why would you even need to profile in the first place in any situation? Someones cleaning his car out at night in a parking lot? Must be them naggers must be up to no good either, I tell you what. son'a'bitch is probably cleaning the hooker blood out of his stolen car.

no dude youre taking it to a negative way. Just cause someone profiles doesnt mean there spitefull or full of hate lol.
Plus, if youve ever lived in a bad area you know to profile. exp if your white. it doesnt mean im racist and feel superior over anyone, I think were all fucked up, but hell yes im gonna be cautious in a situation I have no controll over.

yea, im going to have to agree. i know my city very well and understand how these things work. im not saying there inst a possibility that this little mexican dude owned this 60,000.00 car. my point is... if it was his car then he would def not have stopped on this part of town and detailed his car in the middle of the night in a dark area of the parking lot.
i forgot to add, across the highway was a well lit and busy Valero.

Yeah I don't discriminate, but I do profile. There is a reason why some "profiles" or "stereotypes" exist. Some of them are based on fact.

there are diff type of drug dealers here in south texas. you have the little nickel and dimers, you have the middle men who push a little more weight that pays for a car or two, a house, and flash night life, then you have the ones who are banking.
if this was a drug dealer then this type of car would suggest that hes banking it. which means he either has some crazy connects or is one smart mother fucker. i will go with both.
so we have this guy who knows people, who pushes a lot of weight, and has the smarts and the know how to move up in the drug chain. please tell me why some one with this background and street smarts would stop off in a shady corner store and detail his car in the middle of the night.
we are close to the border and people who are into the "grand theft auto" lifestyle know that you can pull a car and head down to mexico. this car is 60K which means he could prob get 5K-10K cash.

You keep saying detailing, which takes hours. What exactly was this person doing? Did you watch the whole detail process for hours, or did you just see him cleaning brake dust off his alloys in passing?

Agreed but I don't consider drug dealers that smart if they are dealing on the street where they could get narked on. So many dealers get locked up and it simply isn't worth it unless you have nothing else such as a degree or the ability to try hard in school.
Many people learn this the hard way
