being a badluck kid

[impure]

some people ask what i mean when i describe my friend as a badluck kid.

a couple of things.

first off.
her new truck was stolen from outside her parents house, in shaunassy in vancouver. not exactly a high crime area or a bad spot to be parked.
the thieves had it for 28 days.
two days before icbc was going to give a proposal for replacing the '05 F350
they said they found it in coq. with the back window smashed, and the steering column ruined.
supposedly it was written off, but then, they decide to return it to her.
the interior is ruined. they used it to smuggle drugs or something because the carpet had been ripped out and not replaced right, there's big holes around the edges.
they went so far as to take the batteries and lights out of the vanity mirrors!
needless to say the truck is ruined, but not according to icbc.

so after she has it back, she's driving it, just happy to have a vehicle. one night she and her new boyfriend are in aldergrove at a 7eleven when the come out the notice an undercover sitting behind the truck. he looks up when they come out and follows them to the new boyfriends parents house. there he turns on the spotlight and pulls his gun yellling "remain in the vehicle, put your hands up!" blah blah blah
7 other cruisers show up, and arrest them, guns drawn.
the whole time my friend is crying asking why they're being arrested.
they told her she was driving a truck with stolen plates.
some fuckup at icbc didn't do his job and released the truck with the stolen plates on it!
and now she's being arrested!
after an hour of her teary explanation, they let her go but take the plates!
he gave her "written permission" to drive with no plates for 24hrs!

i mean, this shit just keeps happening.

the latest is the horse trailer problem.
she was hauling my horse home from the track when some drunk fuck T-boned her horse trailer in an intersection! with my horse in the back!
it wasn't too bad, but icbc was covering full repair.
we went 2 days ago to get our tack out of the trailer because we didn't have the key to the door (another long, funny but shitty story, let it be said, the man who has the keys now wound up in jail before we could get them from him....it just never ends)
so after a month at the repair shop it would appear they are finally trying to fix it. the front metal panel has been removed.
they pry the door open for us.
WTF. the entire contents had become wet and moulded.
her Ariat show boots that were like $400 new, are ruined, along with a few thousand dollars worth of our tack.
the repair shop had taken that piece of metal off and left the trailer out in the rain, the rain had run inside the holes from the bolts from the metal were.
they say the trailer must have leaked before because they just removed the metal and bolts yesterday.
bullshit, she's had this trailer for 3 years.
it's never leaked.

but then, she's a badluck kid.
