At 2:37am on 6/27/2002 my neighbor woke up to the sound of a loud crash.. I heard it too, followed by tires squealing. My first thought was, "Someone just hit my truck!".. followed by, "No, it's probably just fireworks, quit being paranoid"
Then I got in my Travelall, and set the stereo radio station and started to pull out, looked left and.. What the .... !!!
There was my Travelette, the one nice vehicle I own, SMASHED, about 10 feet farther back then it was when I'd parked it, and now sitting on the curb.

To date (10/02) the police still haven't found who did it, and I highly doubt the Helena Police Department ever will. I never got the feeling it was a priority for them in the slightest. Just one more incident in a long line of 'em that says they're not here to help me, just to harass me.
I managed to repair the damage by swapping on the front clip for my '74 100 4x4 pickup and investing in a new radiator and a few other items.
We even managed to go to RMIHR with the truck, though not in the kind of style I had hoped for.
