So... how pathetic can the world be? Pretty damn pathetic.
We moved, just recently. All in all it went pretty decent, but we had this one problem. We owned this old Toyota Dolphin Motorhome. The engine was in decent shape, but the actual cabin part was a fixer-upper. We decided we were going to sell it for a little bit... and then decided it wasn't worth it, and we were just going to sign over the title for free to whoever wanted it.
Backstory - 77 Toyota trucks (which the dolphin was built off of) have an engine that runs forever. The engine and tranny could easily be sold for about $1500 if you had the tools to take it out and sell it. It's something akin to the old Volkswagen engines... it's just one of those things that the right person can get a ton of money for, and it will run forever. We're not the right person, and we just wanted to get rid of the damn truck.
Someone stole it. Yes, that's right. They stole something we were giving away for free.
First thought - oh well, we don't have to deal with it anymore. Don't worry, I was wrong about that too. We still have the title. So, if someone steals the truck, strips out the engine, tranny, and whatever else they feel like taking from it... and then dumps it on the side of the road somewhere... guess whose fault it is? And guess who has to *pay* for it?
This is such bullshit. How can you actually be enough of a prick to steal something that was going to be free, just so you can fuck the owner over? Yeah, so there are probably other possibilities... but I don't know them. We'll see how it turns out.
Police are on their way.

That sux so bad! People are such creeps and that's why I hate most of the world. Where are you moving to? I hope all else is well ... I've missed hearing from you
