Truckjacked In Bellingham

I always thought that carjacking happened to other people. Heck, that would never happen to me. After all, I am a home inspector. Who wants to mess with a home inspector? He has hammers and crowbars and ice picks and all sorts of weapons of defense. I felt safe.

The problem was that the attack came unexpectedly. In this case, I left my truck with the door open for just a few minutes. I was then going to get in it and drive away after saying goodbye to everyone I had worked with that day. 

What a surprise. I was going to get in the driver's seat and I had been truckjacked by the client's son.

It could have been way worse. It might have been a goat!

Thanks for stopping by,

Nutsy must have been sleeping on the job or more likely cowering in the back of the cab like a scared little bunny.

It goes to show that, try hard or not, sometimes a business goes to the dogs.

Good thing you didn't take that dog home or those cats would have wiped him out.

Goats usually jump on top.  No kidding.  I did one on a goat farm where they raised those little goats and they seem to really like the top of the vehicle...

Hello Steven - Yep, a goat would have been much worse.  Have a great day!
