5 million? Pay that shit. And get gud with your security.

I was 700 miles from home picking up a baby kitten for my wife when this happened. I was on less than a quarter tank and had already stopped at 10+ empty gas stations. I'm lucky I finally found one otherwise I would have ran on fumes to a petsmart then to a hotel. I'd still be in that hotel in NC right now trying to keep the kitten doing its business in the litter box.

What kind of special, magic kitten is this that you drive 700 miles to get it for your wife?

Unfortunately, I get the impression they will do the former (well did) and not do the latter. I have opinions about corpsec, that no on is interested in.
