Amazing how hard it was to give away a truck

in #life7 years ago

So when we bought our house there was an old Chevy truck that came on the property. After 3 years we decided it was time for this lawn ornament to go to a new home.

We pulled it with our 4 wheeler and @alaskahippie pushing. We placed it on the top of the driveway with a free sign on the tailgate and paper signs in the windows. The key was even hanging around the shifter.

45 min after parking it a deplorable couple came buy and looked at it. Then removed the signs took the key( we found out later) and left.

Several other people attempted to get it but due to the fact of the key being taken they could not move it.

After work I pulled the driveshaft so it could be trailered if needed. I am working nights so at 0930 my wife came into the house and said some idiot just ran the truck through our cable gate.

The truck got away from him and slipped the chain breaking our lock. He pulled it back to the spot we hand it and reblocked the tires.

I went back to bed after replacing the lock. At 1130 my wife comes back in and tells me some one is stripping the truck. I walk to the top of the drive again and they are removing the steering column so the truck can be towed.

After 45 minutes they pull the truck enough to turn it around. Then they leave. He had a job interview. They rerun and finally take the truck.

24 hours of constant hassle to give a truck away.

Then @alaskahippie gets harassed for calling out the people that stole the key.

An over all shit day to be nice and give away a parts truck to people who actually fix their own shit.
This community also deleted my post for saying “not fucking cool” and for saying “don’t take the fucking key if your not going to take the truck”, oh and “your so FUCKING funny” to a jack ass. I was told not to use the “f-bomb” to “delete my post or have an admin delete it”. Admins are just as bad as a communist, ‘think my way or go way’ mentality.
Are we in the fucking 60’s and live in Utah?? No, but people of Willow will ostracize anyone who isn’t religious and thinks for them selfs.
This “community” is a fucking joke! Nice people are as rare as a albino moose.
Yes this is a rant, and yes I am very pissed! I am a nice person, but this makes me not want to be. When everyone treats you like shit why bother?!
You could be as sweet as raw honey and they would shit on you.
I hate living here. I regret leaving the military.

I would have been all over that free truck if I lived that way, Jay would’ve had it fixed up in no time! We love our old Chevys!
Too bad people have to be such dicks and its only getting worse now a days.
It doesn’t help that the younger generation aren’t taught much about respect anymore...
Words hurt too ya know...@alaskahippie you probably made them cry lol 🤣

I have people come in my yard.. drive past a sign (plenty of them acutally) but one big one specifically saying ‘Private Property
NOT Howard Hansens OR North Country Sales (the auto wrecker down the highway)
Do Not Enter’
and then call me a bunch of stupid shit because I was a huge bitch about it.... Well uhh for one its MY private property (as stated on plenty signs)
Two, I dont have a huge ass garage to even appear to be an auto wrecker and
Three... who is really the dumb one that assumed all those signs I have up mean nothing.. LOL!
I don’t think many people can read now a days either.😂😂

This is why I have 25-foot walls enclosing my property. No respect. Now they have to find the one gate and be invited in. People can be such dicks.

I have a gate in my driveway and I usually always left it open, it wasn’t until I was actually staying home did I notice how many people were actually in and out of my yard. Posted signs, didn’t work. Posted a very specific sign, didn’t work. I closed my gate and used the ditch and through the bush for awhile.. didn’t work for me, I hated having to open/close my gate.. and why should I have to? people should read/see all of my signs... right?! Wrong!
So now I just leave half of my gate open, most people won’t go in there it looks like a tigh squeeze to most(its on a curve in the road) but I can squeeze in my truck with the trailer like a pro now with like a half inch to spare on each side! My specific sign is also right there on a saw horse its like a 3ft x 3ft sign! lol

That’s such bull shit!!
I have people stopping in my driveway all the time too, I call the cops, cops say they have more rights then I do because it connects to a road.

I made a special meme for the ass holes too7E4A2BCB-9F1B-4606-9917-D504F66E563B.jpeg

They stole my signs! lol

Wow, really?! 😂

They needed the scrap metal? LOL

Damn that’s nice! 25 foot walls! Wish we could afford that! I can’t even afford my own bricks I have to make them 😕 Shit ain’t cheap in Alaska, literally!

Well, my little piece of paradise just became hell on earth this morning. It is no longer going to be just a revolution or internal war. A staff member from the American embassy was tortured and murdered this morning on the highway to the airport. I believe now, Trump will be involved.

Holy shit! For real???

I don't make this shit up. I will be posting with photos later. I need to gather my own thoughts and make sure that my family in Managua is safe.

Damn dude I wasn’t accusing! Chill!! It’s just the way I talk, fuck!

Sorry, if I came across as being offended. I am not! It is just that this is such a stressful situation. My son and his family are a lot closer to the action than I like him to be but he can't leave. It is too dangerous with a little child. And I can't get to him as the roads are all blockaded. Here we have mortars flying overhead. My nerves are getting a little frayed around the edges. But the news of what is happening here has to make it out into the world. gain I apologise if I came across as harsh.
