just rolled into the garage.

So this happened up at the lake apparently. Someone was driving through town with their boat when one of the 4 wheels (hub and brakes inclusive) came off the trailer and into this garage punching a hold in it and damaging the boat inside.

Oh, it was our boat that lost the wheel. My brother was driving. When I last used it I told my family something was wrong with the wheel and it would need to be serviced before using it again. I wasn’t going to be back up and I noticed it putting the boat away. I thought it was just wheel bearings. Guess not. I wasn’t there. Looks like the entire drop hub assembly tore off.

Glad it didn’t happen in the busy part of town. My family kinda sucks at maintaining things... It’s hard to share things with them. We have bi weekly meetings about the place to discuss items and all summer there was never anything wrong. I go up and the garage door we store the boat is is bent to hell and it comes off the track when I go to use it the boat is way more scuffed, several small things broken. Sigh.

You had better make the Oppo only edition of JRITS with that one. Maybe add a wrenching tag as a flag for that purpose.

Sounds like the shared family vacation property and associated items need someone to assume a firm hand at the tiller and finesse a whip with the other.

Family sucks.

My wife and I have given vehicles to several siblings and they always trash them and then blame is when they break something.

I’m confused. Your post makes it sound like your boat both lost the wheel and was the one inside the garage that got hit by the wheel

Based off the amount of meetings, my favorite Utah colloquialism, you are already attending.  I wish you luck.

I saw a brake pad lying in the street yesterday so there’s that.

That’s the best part. The boat they damaged belonged to the people that used to be our neighbors but recently moved here

Yikes! Some times a normal facepalm just isn’t enough.
