I am old, heavy, and brown.<\/p>\n
Who would think in my life time at least 40 percent of my miles have been used driving a first responder on 911 calls? You’d never know it from how Juneau is treating me.<\/p>\n
First, six months ago, while parked at Park Shore Condos, my battery was taken out so I could not start. That meant my silver-haired old lady owner had to climb a step stool and lift a new heavy truck battery into my engine well only two weeks out from knee surgery.<\/p>\n
Then, early this February, someone smashed out my rear canopy glass and stole items – again. Parking at the Main Street City parking garage, with lighting and security patrols, didn’t turn out to be a safe place for me to rest my wheels, after all.<\/p>\n
That person who chose to vandalize me could well be someone I would have rolled out to help in the middle of the night back in my 911 response years.<\/p>\n
Since I’m due to be sold, now that my owner has downsized to a small car, I’m glad she hopes to find a buyer anyplace ELSE except Juneau so I’ll be able to feel safe again.<\/p>\n
Sincerely, 1993 FORD F-150 4×4<\/p>\n
Thanks for letting my truck give its opinion on its treatment while in Juneau.<\/p>\n
