Nothing but teardrop problems!!

Postby Roly Nelson » Thu Mar 31, 2016 11:16 pm

During the recent, Perris teardrop gathering, I was fortunate enough to have sold both my little 6 foot 1/4 Nelson TD and the Stealth fighter F-117 teardrop, to a fellow enthusiast from the midwest. He has been a long-time TnTTT member and paid me a handsome price for both of my rigs, in cash! He planned to haul them back to his Indiana home, on a long flatbed trailer which he pulls behind his 1 ton dually.. In order to do so, he wanted to borrow my 1/2 Nelson woody, which he would pull behind this trailer as well, in order to have a place to sleep during the long trip back to his ranch. He is a cross-country trucker and has the license to pull 2 trailers and intended to return the woody on his return trip to California. So, I agreed to let him do so.

After the first 2 days on the road, he elected to kick back for the night in a motel, so he could enjoy a shave and shower. The next morning, to his shock and amazement, the flat-bed had been unhooked from his truck, and it, along with the chained down teardrops, and my little 1/2 Nelson woody, were gone!. Someone had quietly stolen them all sometime during the night, and no one at the motel had heard or seen a thing. Now all 3 of my teardrop camping trailers are missing and I have no idea where they may be, or who the thief was that took them.

So, in one fell swoop, they are gone! The trucker called the cops, his insurance company and alerted his fellow truckers to keep an eye out for the thief. So far, nothing has turned up and there is no trace of my many years of effort that it took to build my beloved, one-of-a-kind trailers. Oh, I am heartbroken!

Now in the September of my years, I will have to suffer due to this tragedy, or do my best to remember that this is the first day of April. So with that being said, I once again wish you all a very happy April fool's day, in case you had forgotten..

Dude, that is so wrong! My heart skipped a beat!

I'm sure glad it was an April Fools joke.

I first thought, "what a tragedy" but then I remembered you did this a year or so ago so I finished reading the post. Glad you're still 'up' for April Fool jokes Roly. I'm a few (3-4) years behind ya but I'm gettin' there... ;)
