Very nice stolen dump trailer sitting a block from my home for over a week.

After I've done my due diligence, I sure as heck ain't going to let it sit there and rust away.

Put a low enough price on it so the buyer won't balk at that little "no title" issue

Some states dont' require titles or even tags on trailers, Oklahoma for example.

Well it is still sitting there... someone rifled through it last night and driving by the cover for the Interstate Battery was open... so the battery might be gone.

The Dealer is Travlin Toys in Tracy California... did not call.

Trailer is parked on the pavement of a public street.

On a side note... about two blocks from the trailer I noticed a Tahoe... maybe 12 years old that looked clean... it had a improperly parked police notice on the window... homes on both sides of the street.

Last night two guys with a pickup were taking the wheels... they had one side on bricks under the front disc real drum and were using a large timber for leverage to raise the car up on the curb side...

No point in calling the police... they will not respond and already have tagged the vehicle.

There are ways to get police action... I have used them in the past before.

If I were to call in and say it was a hazard for children and someone is going to get hurt I bet someone would be out in short order...

if it's parked on a public street it is a road hazard.. what if a kisd was playing in front of it and walked out and a driver hit the kid because of not seeign the kid thru the obstruction?

Sounds like you live in a rough neighborhood if people are openly stealing wheels off vehicles and dumping stolen trailers. Also can't believe police dont' respond to calls of someone stealing the wheels off a car. I'd never make it there. I dont' even take the keys out of the cars or tractor at my house and dont' even lock the house unless we leave on vacation. Makes it nice for the UPS and Fed Ex man to put packages inside.

I am surprised that no one has suggested removing the plates and take it home.

Naw! We are law abiding citizens here. Plus it is too far away from me. :thumbsup:

Well that's the thing about Bay Area living...

Many times a good neighborhood is just a couple of minutes from not so good.

The only way to get home is to go through the not so good even though it is only 9/10ths of a mile away.

One of the biggest indicators to city quality of life is your immediate neighbors... thankfully we have always had good neighbors... black, asian and one or two white families...

The state of law enforcement is sad... moral is low and all calls get prioritized... the fastest 8 hours in my life have been my ride alongs with law enforcement... 8 hours passes in the blink of an eye... mostly crime in progress calls with code 3 response... very little time for traffic enforcement... before my friends all retired... some had 20+ years on the force and NEVER wrote a traffic ticket... could be why there are so many cars with expired plates and drivers with no license.

I apologize to TBN members in that I am photographically challenged... don't own a smart phone and my 12 year old digital camera memory card has no slot on my "New" Acer computer.

in these parts after they failed to act I would be at the selectmans office.At least in a smal town we still have control of the town employees performance.The process has been proven here over the last couple of years,

OK... I dug out my 15 year old digital camera and bought a scan disk adapter...

As they say news and pictures are 11...

(It something I have wanted to do for sometime now)
