Re: Attempted trailer break in at Maple Grove
A lot of things happen in the pits at night when NORMAL people are sleeping.
On Tuesday night at Indy, I was parked in my pit spot and sleeping very soundly. I was pitted between the Hall brothers from Texas (really nice folks) and Joe Martens (who is also a nice guy) was pitted on the other side. At around midnight, my motor home shook so hard, I thought it was an earthquake. I didn't have a clue what had happened til the next morning. Some "low life" (trying to keep it clean) ran into the driver side slide rear corner of my motor home. I assume the damage was done with a golf cart, with green paint still showing on the slide. The reason they ran into the motor home was that in between me and the Hall's trailer, was a cast iron storm sewer/man hole cover sticking out of the ground about 5 to 6 inches. Obviously, at midnight it is rather dark, so the dumb a** didn't see it when he or she went between the two trailers. There was a scrape mark on top of the sewer cover, so I assume, they hit that, and then lost control and got thrown into the corner of the slide. Did anyone come to see me in the next five days and tell me that they were the responsible party? NOPE!!!!
So if you know someone that has a green golf cart with damage on the right side, I think I know what caused the damage and if your kids or a friend of yours that borrowed the golf cart gave you some BS story, don't believe it.
The damage was minimal to the motor home, but that is not the point, if you do something wrong, grow a set and OWN up to it.
