After a quick trade run to Elmsfield, several senior members of Clarinbridge Crushers, including Steve Jackson and Annette Jackman, were on their way back to Somerset when they were attacked by North Desert Marauders. Following a good battle, they picked up a few new cars including a beat up boxvan. Well, headed straight back for Elmsfield with the loot they were waylaid by a large group from Hammerstein. The boxvan`s engine went first, and it was unable to bring its rear-mounted Cannon to bear on the opposition. A mighty scrap in the middle of the road as the Crushers tried to cut and run for town; long-time gang leader Steve Jackson was getting pummelled and new member Jim Reid was nearly down too. This was enough, and the Crushers surrendered their vehicles. A costly excursion, with losses above 100k. A harsh lesson about getting greedy with the loot. A beat-up boxvan is a deathtrap.

Ouch That pain I know. I usually now curb my greed and usually bring a backup plan for returns. It involves sacrificing the worst gang member in the worst looted vehicle. So don't forget to bring along the sucker next time you scout for insurance, So the return sharks have a toy to play with while the rest of ya run *whispers to himself "I have to remember to donate some money to the Hammerstein"*
