That's what happens when your house is on wheels and someone has access
to a truck capable of hauling it. Maybe the cops will luckout and be
able to lift prints off the tow hitch, or, the shopping center has
decent cameras and they can get a visual of the vehicle that dropped it
off for her. Would be especially nice to get the license plate. Then
the cops could pay the registered owner a visit.

I'm confused by "devoiced". Did both of them have their vocal cords removed? It would definitely cut down on arguments. (・_・ヾ

****. Someone broke the seal on the power meter and removed it then?
That alone scores a felony in some places. Someone obviously had to
take the time to disconnect the wires from the pole to the main panel
as well as disconnect water/sewage lines too. Nobody got fined into
near oblivion for this? I'm surprised.

Funny yet sad thing about marriage. Depending on the laws in your
state, wife can do whatever she likes to mutual property as can you.
Er, except from removing power/water lines, that is. Power
company/water company tends to get ****y when the average joe goes
messing around like that.

I'm surprised (unless people in the family work for power/water
companies? and even then, wasn't proper) nobody got in any trouble
for disconnecting the power/water and sewage lines prior to moving
it.

This was out in the county so probably on a well and septic system. In
this area the home owner/electricians can pull the meter and even put it
back in. Just call the electric company and tell them about it. As
this was over 25 years ago, the mobile home may have just plugged into a
socket.

My brother and I went camping many years ago. We put everything in the
tent based on the prediction of rain. Stove, lanterns, lawn chairs, etc.
The only thing we left outside was the food cooler.

We left the campsite for a few hours and came back to find ... the cooler.

This happened in a crowded state campground, not some remote wilderness
area. When we asked around, a few people admitted that they thought it was
strange when the 4 guys got out of the pickup truck, pulled the tent stakes,
wrestled the tent - with all the contents still inside - into the bed of the
pickup and then drove off. They assumed that they were simply in a hurry to
leave.

Idiots.
