As if this year hasn't been crappy enough now someone took the tailgate off my husbands truck (sign truck) last night right in our driveway while I was on the couch. Never heard a thing.
I officially declare 2004 as the worst year ever. Bring on something good! I need it.

They stole it because it is cheaper than buying one for themselves and because they could... That is what they make tailgate locks for. My topper covers mine.
What a bunch of loser bungholes. Sheesh.

My Ford has the EZ removable tailgate, but on the one side that has to lift out of the hinge pin first, I put a $1 hose clamp. It takes an extra 2 or 3 minutes of screwing around to remove it now. In the future, that may be just enough screw around time to prevent a recurrance.

You chics are nuts!! So guess what? My husband just called and said a dump truck in front of him on the interstate lost something and it hit his hood and screwed up his quarter panel. UUGGHHH!! Two police reports in one day. I don't know what I (we) did but someone sure is ticked off at us.
Thanks for the little bit of humor!

Hang in there Amy, it was just your turn. Your string of good luck will happen soon!
On another board I frequent, they asked what we were thankful for this week. It was hard to come up with something (crazy week here too) but eventually I squeeked in a few things and felt abit better.

Amy, in the could-have-been-worse department...
I read your last post too quickly the first time & I thought you said... a trucker just called your husband (from tracking his lic plate?)& said he (husband) lost something on the highway (tailgate) and it screwed up the truck (behind him),

Would love to laugh but it's a subject that brings back waves of feelings I once had for a thief that hit a customer of mine for three (3) tailgates. All were airbrushed scenes that wrapped around p/u, so they got the center artwork all three times. What really sucked was customer was confined to wheelchair and we built his truck to his specs for him and each time he was at doctor's office, they hit it. We thought that we would never find out where they where when one day a cop called him and him and I went to police evidence locker and sure enough, all three!!! As someone already exponded, they were wall-art for a young man that had a fixation for my work, and decided to steal it instead of paying for it. End results, he got twice the sentence because in Nv. you commit a felony against a senior or handicapped person, the penalty is double....poetic justice.
Now! that's funny............................

Some people just suck! Sorry to hear things are still falling apart around you Amy. You've got an amazingly positive attitude to keep your chin up through all the struggles you've been through this year. Just remember, what goes around comes around.
Losers will eventually get theirs in the end.

David, I'm not sure that the addition of a more strigent laws and penalties for crimes committed against the elderly or handicapped, is so assinine.
Many of these people are physically defenseless against most perpetrators, and quite often, they're even unable to deal with the legal paperwork involved with trying to report or apprehend a criminal. Many need not only physical, but legal aassistance to do so....
Not to mention the criminal should be raked over the coals for violating the helpless, just like for the healthy they prey on . . .
Very few of our laws are assinine . . . and we don't need more . . . .we just need to enforce the ones that exist. . .
