I would like to put the word out on a coach located nearby in Lakeway, which is west of Austin. It shows up on Austin Craigslist a lot. It's a 23 ft BirchHaven and has been sitting up for some time and is in full squat mode. Anyway, I called this guy Dave and he gave me the address and said feel free to go look at it. He wanted $5,000 for it and I think it's worth $500 with about a $4500 tow bill from where it is sitting in the woods, chock full of animal poop and mildew. And it gets better, the place it's at is on somebody else's property (who used to be his friend.) I chatted with the landowner for 10 minutes or so because we both own land adjacent to a large conservation area, and we got along great. He sure bristled at the mention of the guy and his GMC and said since the Craigslist ad was up some things had started missing from around his place. The day after I went out there I got an email from this Dave guy saying a large amount of copper pipe/wire was now missing and since I was the only person to actually go out and look at it, logic (?) dictates that I took it. And if I brought it all back by the next day the police would not be called. Needless to say I called the police myself. Just a somewhat long winded head's up. (and yes, I am still furious about the whole ordeal). I regret not knowing the importance of TZE number tracking at the time or I would have gotten it for the records. Here is the ad:
