This road trip is the last road trip that make an end to a story of almost 1 year .
We went back with the guys from the association to the warehouses and bad news :twisted: someone broke into it and stole only the dedicated cab .
We were as pissed as the operator as they broke also the wooden door and his warehouse will need a serious repair .
I was really disapointed and shocked to see that some collectors can be like this .
So we had to improvised as we already have made 500 km with a 20m3 truck .
So we decided to take the space tactics that was in the basement of the house .

it was really difficult to extract it since it is heavy and the basement as a step of about 70 cm .
The other problem was the fact that the hole in the wall was smaller than the cab width except on the upper area .
So we had to lift the cab horizontally and above our head to make it passed trhough the wall .

As they were here nothing interessant we left for an other warehouse . It start to be hot as it is 14:00.
We will have to go through this to extract the cab yeah !!

It is unbelievable how similar the place looks to the place I clear for the last year now.
I did not waste a second to clear dedicated stuff so not a single one was taken from me. The operator was a bit pissed that I worked hours around and rearranged everything in there but I needed to get sure that I get all the important stuff first.
Meanwhile other collectors found the place but they only found what I had left.....there are some DLX-cabinets left but they are paid already, so they stay for me...Operation accomplished.
