Yes ...no... yeessss... no... What the heck is it... kinda looks like a Gypsy caravan...but it definitly belongs in this section...
You remember those? Wonder what Gypsys travel in now? Or are there still Gypsys? And what was a Gypsy? I remember them. Is that what became known as Hippies?
Over here, they travel in trailers and camp out in France near the German and Swiss border to cross into those countries to steal. Others claim asylum from allegedly having been persecuted in Kosovo. This way, they don't have far to go to their burglary destinations. They broke in to a basement, last Saturday, in this apartment house and 3 basements next door. Their usual autograph is the using of basic tools to attempt prying open doors. Luckilly, they couldn't get mine open and I'm planning on re-inforcing a door which separates the entrance to our basements and the former laundry room. They last entered the apartment house next door, just before Christmas, and it seems like it's getting more frequent. Anyway, on that Sunday morning after the recent break-in, I saw that one of the doors was open and thought that maybe a neighbor was in the process of getting rid of junk. After I noticed that my own door was damaged, because of the splittered rough door edge, I knew right away that there was an attempt. Professional burglars pick the locks or have better tools of which to use to open doors. So, I know it wasn't them. The cops who showed up that Sunday morning didn't bother questioning anyone in our apartment house, despite being separated by a wall from the apartment house next door. Because, they didn't bother asking around if other basements were broken into, they lost the chance to collect evidence and to find out how the burglar got in. It's no wonder that this part of Germany has the lowest rate of solved crimes in the country. You would think that 19% sales tax should by you a minimum level of competence
So this is where my kid went over the weekend with my station wagon! No wonder the gas tank was empty.
Awesome photo with the mountain in the background. Bonus for the two 57 chevy's and the gargantuan bug screen.
This happened a few years ago here in Seattle. The street behind the bus is a very steep hill, but I can't remember if the bus was in motion or it had been parked when it lost brakes.
Oh, and any 'bus' in the form of a tractor-trailer rig is known in the US Military as a 'cattle car.'
In the midwest, at least central Illinois, it was LUCKY LEE LOTT HELL DRIVERS. I remember them from when I was very young at the small local airport and a few other places. Strangely my dad didn't drive and never cared for cars yet took us to events like that. Sometime around 1995 shortly after I retired to Florida we saw several of Lee Lott's 50's cars parked along a highway in a field and relatives in real estate.
