In anticipation of picking up my RCR, I went and got myself a trailer- a nice dual axle, electric brake, 8'x16' flat bed. My dad and I are starting on a road trip to get it TOMORROW!!
Well plans changed when I came home New Year's Day to nothing in my driveway. That's right. It was stolen. Turns out someone else liked it too.
Dad's got a plane ticket, replacing the trailer isn't in the cards right now (yes, it was UNinsured as my ins. co wasn't interested in writing a policy- make that my FORMER ins. co- I switched this weekend), and I have a car I am incredibly anxious to go pick up (just ask Fran- or don't actually because he'll have to stop working on the car to answer the phone). What to do???
I called around to the people I know in town as well as the rental companies to try to find a trailer. One of the people I called was Hershal Byrd. We'd chatted a few times since I moved to town and I'd been to his place to check out his car as well. He always seemed very helpful and I figured he'd have some good ideas.
Well, it was a pretty simple idea. He had a trailer that I could go use. Just swing by and pick it up- except he had to go to the DMV and get a replacement plate for it cause the last guy to borrow it returned it without one. I called the DMV to see if I could do this for him, but no such luck. Friday morning (the next day!), he called me around 11 and said the plate's on and I can pick up the trailer.
At this point, his trailer is actually *in* my garage- where it will be until we are ready to get out of town. I would feel like a big dork if anything were to happen to it.
I know he doesn't post here anymore and rarely stops by to read, but I wanted to publicly say thanks to him.
Thanks Hersh!
