Has this happened to you?

My wife & I are fulltimers and have noticed something durin the past couple of years. Several trips ago, a truck diver emptied his pee bucket against the side of our rig while we were in a Welcome Center. We noticed it while we were exiting the builkding. My wife did'nt want me to confrom the driver for fear that he might try have road rage further down the road. Well fast forward to today and we have a another situation. We did not realize it until we got to the campground for the night. I went to get the sewer hose from the bed of the truck and it was gone. I always put plastic bags at each end of the hose securred by rubber bands to control odor and leakage...well the bags and bands were there but no hose or connectors. The only time that it could have happened was at luch at a rest area (with a trucker parked next to us). I know that some on the forum must be former truckers so please enlighen me. If I am not going up to speed I always pull to the right to let truckers pass as I understand that they are trying to make a living...so what gives?
  • Whenever I stop I walk around my RV. Before I leave I walk around the 2nd time. Trcker stole the handle off my blank tank. (on TT) He probably had a RV that needed one. You have to remember that person was a thief & just happened to be a truck driver. Spoke to a friend the other day that works the oil fields in WY. Starting to be more & more thieves out there. Stealing everything. Off subject but now stealing emergency air packs because they use them in their meth operation. Sad but that is the 21st century. Watch your pet because that is also a big business now.
  • If I was you I wouldn't pull into a Flying J or any other trucker fuel station.

    Them truckers are just nasty.........

    Who else would take the time to remove plastic bags/bands from ends of sewer hose just so they could steal it :S
  • If it were me I would not bother with someones used sewer hose but then again someone may be that desperate? :h
  • Are you saying that you think a trucker stole your sewer hose???? Kinda hard to imagine what he'd use it for...

    As for "pee buckets": you don't know the half of it!

    Didja ever notice how many "Gatorade" containers you see by the side of the road? That's the "trucker's friend"...most just fill 'em up and toss 'em out the window- FULL.

    And I'm not talkin' with Gatorade, either.
