Stolen Spare Tire

I spent the night at the Pilot on 78/Shelby drive in Memphis TN. I have stayed there quite often without any problems. I park in the far back away from everyone to cut down on the noise and getting my front end clipped.

About 9pm a truck parks next to me with a big cat motor. That driver ran his truck all night. I guessing he must be a company driver as it was 50 degress last night. i am not sure why he was idling. Anyway thanks to him I had to put my volume on my tv to 60 to try and drown out his engine noise (by the way I never heard the fan cycle so i dont think he was running the ac or the heat).

Point being when I got up this morning and was doing my workout I noticed a tire by the rear of my trailer. I looked under my trailer and noticed that one of my spare times was missing...... a light went off and I realized that it was my tire. I laughed to my self because about a month ago I put some manual slacks on my trailer. Well right after that the brakes stuck and I dragged the rear tandems on the passenger side messing up the two tires.

Well I keep my spares mounted on the rims so i just swap them out. Well turns out that the tire they tried to steal was a bad tire so they left it. I know someone will ask why dont I lock the tires? Good question and here is my answer I dont lock them because I write the word junk or bad tire on the good ones because every lock I put on I have to cut off by the time I need the spare.

Now to the part that tickled me this morning is I had two spare tires under my trailer they didnt bother to touch the one that said junk and that was the good one. O well I just walked to the back of the trailer and flipped the tire like 15 times to end my work out and stuck it back under the trailer. I guess thieves do take the time to read! Thanks for letting me share my litttle story with rates in the dump I needed a good laugh and got one this morning!
