"Bunch of savages in this town."

Bonus points for correctly citing the movie quote.

The next-door neighbors spotted a couple of people milling around the back of the Highlander last night - they chased them off and then rang our bell, since they are Nice People and know it lives at our place. I had dumped my commedia bag in the back, so we figured they were trying to jimmy the door open to steal the bag.

Nope. They wanted the blank license plate frame.
So badly that they came back later, and unbolted the whole thing from the car.

I don't understand. While I am pleased that they (apparently) did no damage, I can't understand the appeal of a dealer-issued license plate frame and a piece of paper where the plate would be (if they had arrived yet).

Do they think that they can install this on their tricked-out Camry and pretend that it's a new car, thus avoiding registration fees? They didn't take the front one!

I just... don't get it.
Maybe I do need the I Aggro Drama T-shirt.

"Aggro" is a slang term from Britain. In the US it is mainly used in Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Games. It's a derivation of 'aggravate,' and what it means is you have attracted the attention of NPC enemys/villains/monsters, who are going to run over and try to eat your head. An important skill in these types of games is managing the aggro you accumulate -- getting just enough of those enemies coming over to eat your head while not getting too many head-eaters coming at you at once.

The tee shirt implies that I attract the attention of drama randomly, and it runs over and comes to try and eat my head.

What a weird term ... those Brits, it's almost like they speak a different language than we do. So similar, but not quite the same. Strange ... (thanks for 'splaining ...)
