fatfootdoc Report post Posted September 6, 2005 So this should probably go in the funniest thing thread but this happened to me this weekend at my wifes reunion in Eagar. My wife and I are looking at camp trailers and we decided we would borrow her aunts extra camp trailer for the reunion this year. Well we get up to Eagar Friday night and it is raining cats and dogs, so I called her aunt to see if we could just pick up the camper Sat. morning, ended up having to get it that night because they keep it in a friends shop yard and the gate was unlocked for me. She tells me it is the only camper in the yard so not to worry. So I drive down in the pouring rain to get the trailer with my brother in law. We pull up and go into the yard and pull up to the trailer. We get out and get the trailer all hitched up and I mentioned to my brother in law(as we cut the rope holding the wooden patio to the trailer) that it looks like someone has been living in it. Well we give it little thought and as we inspect the trailer we note that the regist. is expired, the wire harness is wrong and there are no safety chains, of course being the rednecks we are we don't let little things like that stop us . We pull the trailer out and park it at my inlaws overnight. The next morning we hitch up and drive it up to the reunion site and as well pull in my wife runs out and says "Dont unhitch it you have the wrong trailer!" and I am thinking yeah right I was not born yesterday. So then more people come out and tell me the same thing and I am still thinking ahh a coordinated effort to pull one over on me. Until my wifes aunt and uncle walk out and say that is not our trailer! Then I worried a little. I made my wifes uncle go back into town with me since he is a sheriff and would back up my story and help me get the right stinking trailer! I must say that my experience with grand larceny was exciting it sure is nice that it was in front of 80-90 of my wifes relatives!! The moral of the story-- There is always more than one trailer in the yard, so at least find out the color of the trailer you are picking up !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did it for about 5 miles, and was about to puke after the third turn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
