Say what you mean, mean what you say

As I traveled along my delivery route Friday, I took note of a privately owned gas station/garage that evidently isn't owned by the swiftest of folks. All signs are either hand-drawn or composed of letters made up from black electrical tape. The main sign "says it all:"
ALEX'S SERVICE: We do stuff!
I guess that's good to know, depending on what kind of "stuff" you're talking about. Does stuff mean auto repairs or marijuana??? As if this sign wasn't bad enough, plastered on their gas pump was this wonderful "promise:"
Drive-offs will be shot at.
That's really great. In this day and age where folks are getting increasingly angry about the price of fuel and brazen in thefts, make an idle threat and actually encourage people to steal from you!

Or... Are you really that hardened that you disregard the law as well as everyone safety as you attempt to blow away a car speeding off?
