Cool! I would have liked to have seen that! Did you ever catch the
'culprit'?

Not bad, not bad. My solution's a little more pragmatic: I found a company
that makes a replacement ram's head that has no flex mechanism. It means
any pedestrians I hit (right, Judy?) are gonna get a ram's-head-sized
chunk torn out of 'em, and it means I can't turn the ram's head around
facing rearward the way I like it, but it also means it'll be a great deal
more difficult to steal.
