Well I spent a good bit of time, money and effort into getting my dodge in good shape for my wife to be able to camp after I die. Well last Wednesday it was stolen out of my driveway but I have to accept the blame I left the key under the seat like I have for 30 years I have lived here.
Luckily it was recovered early on Saturday morning. The wrecker service that had it is only open Monday - Friday from 8to5 . That added 50$ to our bill in storage plus the 150$ tow charge. They told us on the phone it wasn't wrecked it had run out of gas. The driver had the sheriffs called because he was tweaking out going house to house asking for gas or gas money. The dumb Ass had 4 bags of meth on the seat.
When the driver showed us where it was stored I asked where? He said that one ? I had to do a triple take the grill was missing the silver on the lower panel down the side had been painted black. Any white had been painted my sticker from Phil had been removed . There was bolt cutters in the bed and my Tool Box was gone . The tow truck man said that the boy was blacking it out to do break ins at night he had seen it before. I had a 5 gallon can of gas with me so I put about 2 gallons in the truck because it was on a slope. After a little grinding the engine caught and I moved it to the flat parking lot and put in some more gas to get me to a station (I hate vent less gas cans).
The drive home was ok, the truck ran good but one tire seemed a bit odd I'm going to have to check it and tie rods. As unfortunate as having it stole was I am lucky to have it back in drivable condition.
Very sorry this happened to you, but at least you recovered your ride while it was still drivable. Meth heads aren't known for caring for what they own, drive or live in. They only care where their next high is coming from.
ReplyDeleteVery true, but this one will be a ward of the state for about 10 years for what he was caught with.
ReplyDeleteThey will let the freak out way before he serves ten years. They can't seem to help themselves. Send me your address again and I will shoot you another bumper sticker.
DeleteCan't be having that crap.
Phil I think he will do a 5 split between the truck and drugs.Thanks for the offer but you sent me 2 last time and I saved the second one. :)
DeleteThat is crazy Gary. I'm glad you got it back.
ReplyDeleteMe to Jeffery. I can fix most the damage myself at a reasonable cost compared to using a shop. Just at this point I hate having to use the time and effort.
