    good, they’ll see me lugging that heavy freaking vacuum cleaner in that big box, knocking on their door, checked and seen my name and address on box, and replaced their item and took mine.

    It's the rubber hose under neath the trailer. The long one with springs for the sliding tandems. Where the red line goes into a solid plate. The fitting on the plate is leaking. 130 psi to 25 in 90 minutes. Red button pops out in cab. There is no shop at this pilot. If I knew I would have gone down the road, but it started leaking today. I crawled In the sleeper and slept once I parked.

    Well, Hell... Did all that documentation and the door front redelivery, I'd invoice them for, my time, some gas and $100.00 in aggravation.
    (They should have done come home, found out like you did, and saved you all this.

    Solution
    to home invasion brought to us by a cop in Toronto...

    Global News ^ | 03/14/2024 | Ryan Rocca

    A Toronto police officer suggested that residents leave their car keys by the front door to avoid a home invasion, seemingly to let criminals steal their vehicle if they break in, leave and avoid injuries.

    The Toronto Police Service issued a statement Wednesday confirming that an officer made the remarks at a recent community meeting.
    The officer suggested “that people leave the keys to their vehicle in a faraday bag by the front door,” the statement said.
    “While well meaning, there are also other ways to prevent auto theft motivated home invasions,” it continued.

    Faraday bags block signal-duplicating devices used to replicate key fobs which criminals can use to steal vehicles.
    In Toronto, home invasions and break-ins for auto thefts rose 400 per cent last year, the Toronto Police Service said.

    At an Etobicoke community meeting, Const. Marco Ricciardi is heard saying, “To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at your front door.”
    “They’re breaking into your home to steal your car. They don’t want anything else,” he said, which CityNews first reported.
    “A lot of them that they’re arresting have guns on them and they’re not toy guns, they’re real guns. They’re loaded.”

    Oh!! Isn't Canada one of the places where you cannot have a handy short Mossberg for close shots of a wide spread defense?
