County Code Enforcement Division: Can this possibly be a coincidence?

So I get this letter in the mail instructing me to move my pop-up trailer off my front yard after it’s been parked there for TEN YEARS. I always assumed there’d be some rule against parking it there, but after TEN YEARS, I figured nobody cared. Well yesterday, in the mail, I got a letter from the County Code Enforcement Division. Notice it says, As a result of an inquiry...

I read the letter and tell my wife that we’ll have to find another place to store the trailer because if it’s in the driveway, there’s not enough room to work on a car. My wife says, “Oh, well look what was taped to the front door this morning:”

So if any of you want to call this number — Sacramento/Roseville, California, area — and say, “I hear you sell used pop-up trailers,” and see what the guy says, and get back to me, be my guest.

The inspector probably isn’t going to tell me who made the inquiry , but he might be able to confirm that it was NOT one of my neighbors, which would be nice to learn.

Fortunately, a friend has an equipment yard about five miles away and he can make room for it. I’ll probably wait a year or so, then put the trailer back where it was and see what happens.

Honestly though, can this be a coincidence? My peeps say “No.

That’s not a coincidence, and it’s a really shitty thing to do.

Bastard. I’m going to put out an All-Call to California Oppos asking them to call him. Lots of numbers for him to start blocking.

That’s pretty scummy if true. The sad thing is, I bet it works. You just have to find the person thats on the fence and apply a little pressure and boom, instant trailer flip. Lame.

Call him and ask him if he has a trailer for sale.

Then set up a meet and don’t show up. I’m not driving to Roseville.

No way in hell this is a coincidence. I’d love to investigate this guy, how many he has ‘complained’ about, whether he works for the county, etc etc etc.

Dude’s a shitbag. Will you call him and ask him if he has any trailers for sale?

Also: there’s a Fintail on Bring-a-Trailer. That you too?

Don’t go to Roseville, just call him. And as for the meet-up, he already knows where I live...

He doesn’t work for the county. Will you call him for me? Ask him if he has any trailers for sale?

Call Richie and tell him you heard he buys used pop-up trailers. Then report back.

Problem: I live in Maine so the call will probably instantly get blackholed.

03/27/2018 at 11:42

have you called him yet? Richie shouldn’t know your number already and it would look less suspicious than an 801 area code.

03/27/2018 at 11:46

I have, but he’s probably doing this as a scam so he has all kinds of calls coming in is my guess. Whatta butthole.

HammerheadFistpunch > Rusty Vandura - www.tinyurl.com/keepoppo
03/27/2018 at 11:47

what did he say to you out of curiosity?

Rusty Vandura - www.tinyurl.com/keepoppo > HammerheadFistpunch
03/27/2018 at 11:50

He feigned surprise when I mentioned that I found his note the very day that I got the letter from the county. Then he tried to get me to give him a price. I didn’t tell him that I thought he was a butthole or that his gig was transparent or any of that. He said he did landscaping work and he’d been working in the area. I wish I had a security camera. Time to move on that project.

I’ll give him a call for you, it’ll be later today though. ;)

Oh oh! I could even try to see if I could resurrect my guy voice and pepper in a British accent too.

I called *67 with my Australian accent at the ready (its damn good). Straight to the answering machine...

03/27/2018 at 11:51

I might call him again and ask him to make an offer. Just string him along a bit. It’s a pretty scummy deal. I bet if I moved the trailer back to the lawn in six months, it might live there unmolested for another ten years.

WilliamsSW > Rusty Vandura - www.tinyurl.com/keepoppo
03/27/2018 at 11:53

I did, but I *67'd first (not giving him my number), so no answer. Doesn’t have a voicemail set up.

FYI- Since you blurred out your address, consider blurring out the APN, which is the Assessor’s Parcel Number and unique to your plot of land.

Edit: Also, your address is right above the APN. So maybe you don’t mind. Sorry, I’m tired.

03/27/2018 at 11:55

I should clarify — it went to voicemail after 6 rings or so, but he didn’t record a message. Just an automated voice reading the number and saying leave a message.

I did not leave a message.

Rusty Vandura - www.tinyurl.com/keepoppo > WilliamsSW
03/27/2018 at 12:35

I’m going to text him later and when he replies, I’m going to tell him that I am not interested in selling and please stay away from my property and his image is on my security camera system and that of at least one of my neighbors. Then in six or nine months, I’ll move my trailer back onto the lawn.

I cracked up thinking how many times I have been on your street. He is on the other side of Center backed up to the school. If you’ve ever heard a band playing loudly, sometimes poorly, that’s been us.

Out of context, this sounds like something you tell a person shortly before you kill them and wear their skin.
