    not on this one or the next one. I stated earlier in a post , arround here if a mobile home sets abandon for more then 2 weeks it is a skeleton, and all is left is a lot of hard work removing floors and all the other bull work. Tweekers and thieves are like locust and army ants here.

    Was this trailer on your property or were you doing a cleanup job? If it was on my property and someone was trying to strip out my trailer they would have a 40 round clip of my AK47 flying at them.

    Well, even it there was no copper or aluminum I couldn't agree with you more. Sure beats sitting on the ol butt doing nothing!
