Mechanics across the state have seen an uptick in vehicle owners reporting sticky locks after a viral LifeInvader challenge swept through schools in San Andreas this month. Teens participating in the challenge reportedly buy PVA glue from harware stores like YouTool who have been selling crates of the sticky substance to teens with bulk discounts.
We’ve reached out to members of our fine community for comment on the situation.
Business owner Mel Rose had a message for these troubled youths,
“Instead of gluing the locks, why don’t you just do what I did and glue your hand, wait 5 minutes and peel it off. Much more satisfying”

Bryn Jones had these wise words to share with us about the situation, which we have published in its unabridged form.
Well, back in my day the main challenge was getting down the store with my ration book early enough, so that the good vegetables weren’t gone. There wasn’t much in the way of entertainment back then, so getting a carrot shaped like a phallus, or a cauliflower with the face of Jesus Christ in it was a huge boost for family morale.
Nowadays challenges have changed somewhat. I’m not as young as I used to be and getting around is not as easy as it once was. This is why I am so frustrated by this lock gluer who seems to be going around. I thought it may be Johnny Five at first as he had been pissing me off, however we have since talked and I don’t think it could be him now. The only other I can think would stoop to this level is that young man Walker. I don’t know him well, however what I do know is he is a shifty little sod who is forever sneaking around. No one seems to like him, so maybe it’s his way of getting revenge. I’ve had to start taking things in to my own hands now.
I have all these new friends, and I can’t take them for drives as they can’t get in my cars. I don’t want to be lonely again!! I have taken up arms, obtained the relevant licenses and I will use any means necessary to bring this vandal to JUSTICE. Woe betide anyone who I catch tampering with my locks again. You will regret it.

Local LSPD Detective Vince Decker had this to say on the latest viral trend,
“Absolutely atrocious behaviour from the youth of Los Santos. The LSPD are remaining vigilant as we tackle this sticky situation. Until we get a lead on who has organised this, please remember to carry your hair drier, and allow extra time for any essential, time sensitive, journeys.“
Vince Decker, LSPD
We also reached out to the office of Commissioner Hunter on the matter, who responded with the following,
“We are aware of a current trend circulating Los Santos that involves Teens & Glue. We’d ask parents to educate their children in the appropriate use of adhesive.”
Sid Hunter, LSPD Commissioner
In a sentiment almost certainly shared by school administrators across San Andreas, the district administrators urged families to report any instances of suspicious looking teens running away from parked vehicles giggling like school children to the LSPD.
It is unknown how much glue the teens of Los Santos have gotten their hands on, or when this viral challenge will end, but one thing is for sure, motorists are tired of finding the locks on their vehicles sticking constantly.
