Here’s a truth is stranger than fiction story.
Just sold a home to a woman. She calls me stating that the cops just went to the home looking for the previous owner and there were a ton of police around. This freaked her out a bit. I went to call on the PM to see what was up (I had bought the home from the park). There is a yellow fire tape around the park office. Some one had tried to burn the office down. Destoyed most of their records. The assistant manager is there. The park managers went AWOL last week with no notice. I had just left a gift card for them for purchasing the home and dropped it in the rent collection box. Guess where they started the fire? The assistant manager found part of the melted card. (There goes $75). In addition she says, the park had tons of police in it yesterday because an escaped sex offender was rumored to be in the park. That partly explains why my buyer was seeing so many police around. Here’s a kicker. She did give me a lead on anther home in the park. Is this business weird or what?

I would think that if you have your receipt for the gift card you could get it replaced. Especially if you have the charred remains of the old one?

Some of you may remember the Jenny Jones Show episode that involved 2 men, with one of them revealing that he had strong feelings for the other. Well, a couple days after the taping of the show the one man went to visit the other man, in a mobile home park that I do a lot of Lonnie Deals in, to let him know the feeling wasn’t mutual. The shooter was found guilty of murder, and I think Jenny Jones may have lost a civil suit over the case.

And I thought a bunch of old mattresses lying around in the rain made for a bad park…what was I thinking!
Well, looks like you may have an opportunity staring at you. The current owner may be VERY motivated to sell right now! Let me know if you need partners!

Makes the shooting in one of my Lonnie parks last week seem almost mild by comparison, lol. Todd (AZ)
