Funny story! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tdp67 · 02-09-2012, 06:51 PM

Ok, last night I'm up watching TV around midnight. I'm a night owl! Any way, I notice a bunch of bright lights around my '70 which is parked in front. I looked out the window and could see it was a couple local LEO's cars with the search lights going all over my truck. I'm thinking, OMG some one must have hit or vandalized my baby. So, I open up the front door as one is leaving and the other is just getting back in his car. He sees me, gets back out and yells out "Everythings ok! We were just checking out your truck! He was patroling the neighborhood and called in his buddy to check it out. I stepped out and chatted with him for a bit. He said this was his beat and the he would keep an a eye on her for me.

Sounds like a good guy to have around.

96blazr · 02-09-2012, 07:37 PM

Let me see if I got this right; you park this IN FRONT of your house!!??

Seriously??

Please, PLEASE tell me you have some place under cover to park this, Please?

Also, please tell me you have a Kill switch and a Battery disconnect too.....Please?

It's cool when "the man" digs your ride.

It's even cooler when "the man" acts like just a man....if you get my drift.

I know, I don't like it either. but until I sell the Harley my garage is full. Already have two vehicles in the back drive.

Under the cover is my ZR1. You see my problem. I'm letting the Harley go as soon as I find a buyer.

MikeyMan · 02-10-2012, 02:26 PM

Put the Harley in a storage locker.

Get that BEAUTIFUL truck secured!

If i had to worry about all that if i parked my ride in front of my house, i would move...

tdp67 · 02-10-2012, 02:54 PM

Actually, it's the weather I worry about more. It's a really safe neighborhood.

You have a ZR1 and only a 2 car garage?

That's cool.

MikeyMan, I couldn't agree more!!

eurospec1, he's got a NICE truck and leaving it outside in front of anyones house in "anywhere" USA is just not a good idea. I don't care where you live......well, unless it's a gated retirement community. When kids, young adults and even mature adults see this Parked out front their natural reaction is to say "Nice truck" and they're going walk up on it. What happens after that is open to all kinds of speculation, but we all know some of these people will have the wrong intentions.
Listen, I understand that he doesn't have room, but a truck this nice left outside is a injustice as far as I'm concerned. I just hate to see it left outside and in the weather.

tdp67: I just hope you can sell the HD in a timely manner and get your VERY nice truck secured and Dry.

PanelDeland · 02-10-2012, 09:35 PM

Really nice truck!! they're right though.Don't park it in the street.The "better" thieves pick the nicer,safer neighborhoods because they know what they stael will be nicer and fewer people expect them to be there.

So true! You could probly park your truck outside of a trailer park and there would be less of a chance of it being tampered with than in a good neighborhood. My trucks not as nice as yours and it sits in the garage when i'm not driving it or working on it. By the way...cops are normal guys to, some of them like old trucks just like we do, at least the ones around here do! Joseph

tdp67 · 02-11-2012, 03:08 PM

I appreciate the concern all! I'm working on it!

67swb72klb · 02-11-2012, 03:27 PM

i would for shure have a kill switch / lojack on it

big_al_71 · 02-11-2012, 04:06 PM

put the zr1 outside and put the truck in the garage is what i would do...just saying ha!!!!!

Meatman · 02-12-2012, 12:23 AM

This thread needs more pics of said ZR1.

**Boog** · 02-12-2012, 12:46 AM

Open a spot in the garage. That Harley can go in the spare bedroom if need be. Just sayin.
A coworker has 2 HDs and he parks both of them in his house. He doesn't have a garage.

Meatman · 02-12-2012, 01:12 AM

Probably not best bet there. Doesn't every Harley leak oil?

dukcaln · 02-12-2012, 01:24 AM

that is cool but I would have opened the door with my friend in my hand.... some place between a .40 or .45 If you know what I mean!

oldschool18 · 02-12-2012, 02:11 AM

It is nice having good neighbors and being friends with the cops, I had to park my 85 outside and then I sold it to build a garage. But now I can sleep at nite knowing my 70 is parked inside.
