So the other night my girlfriends 97 ford expedition (my scrap truck as well) was stolen from our driveway. Police found it today, so we decided to check out the damage. The rear tires and rims, mirrors, battery, door panels, and 3rd row seat were all missing. Unfortunately the police towed it before contacting her, so after the $140 they want for the tow and having no money to buy replacement parts from a junkyard, she's signing the title over to the lot. Frankly I'm sick to my stomach at the moment. Luckily she was able to get a new vehicle (07 Chevy Impala) so she's able to get back and forth to work and take the kids to school and get around obviously. So I guess I wont be hauling any scrap for awhile, but I've been focusing on better then scrap value items with the market doing a 180, for the most part. Anyways just had to vent and get it off my chest. I have a few upcoming prospects that I hope will give me enough cash to go and buy another cheap truck, until then I'll keep doing what I'm doing and try to make the best of a bad situation...
