Hey, Paul and I are going on a road trip with the Squire (Palm Springs). It's the first semi-long trip for this grocery hauler!
She's ready for anything! Air blows ice cold!

 

That's exciting!

 

So looking forward to it! Liftoff is in 20 minutes!

 

Well, we just got back from our Palm Springs trip. The Squire performed beautifully on the road and got a ton of compliments! Paul took a few pics and hopefully he will post them soon. We had a great time, very relaxing!

 

On a more somber note, Paul told me that a week before our trip someone broke into the Squire, went into the glove box, and stole a vintage owner's manual (the only thing in the glovebox). Why would somebody do that? For spite? I doubt the homeless crackheads in my neighborhood have Ebay accounts (Paul purchased it on Ebay for 20 bucks).

I'm happy that a window wasn't broken.

 

It’s a ‘77 right? BTW. Happy belated birthday!

 

Yes, a 77. And thanks for the well-wishes!

 

The intention likely was to find something valuable enough for taking such a risk, that is, if doing such things is even still risky anymore (especially, in California).
The manual was likely taken as a consolation prize. To help avoid a reoccurance, it might be best to keep the glovebox opened, so that potential thieves could be reassured that there's nothing of use to them in the vehicle, if garageing isn't possible

 

I saw this in a parking lot today

 

Well that's . . . interesting.
