Hey Alex, please consider the strength of that plywood going forward. The pine boards were providing rigidity as the cargo was moving. As it is, anything heavy that comes unsecured could just punch a hole right through the plywood.

@@allyterps9223 Most cities will have it listed under a search for "(city) non emergency number". Sometimes they're advertised and sometimes they're not I guess, our police put out a warning last year and the year before because too many people called 911 for non-emergencies.

For future reference, those places always have the security company listed on the building. Usually there's a sticker on the door or window. You can just call them up and their dispatcher will send security officers to turn off the alarm and notify the owner/manager. My ex-husband was a security dispatcher for Per Mar.

Hey, I work for an alarm monitoring company so I can provide some insight. Most cameras are for post hoc investigation, though some are live, or semi-live. Unless someone approved the police to be dispatched by Uhaul, it wouldn't have dispatched, so calling the police yourself was the best option, since you couldn't reach Uhaul itself.

[@GoHerping]

good to know! when they went off I assumed it's be like a house alarm where no disarm results in auto dispatch

[@AshendrisSilvermist]

@@TeenDream888 Sounds like it's all dependant on where the caller lives. My city doesn't have its own police dept. any more.

This brings back memories! I installed a hitch on my Tesla 3 last summer. Did all the wiring myself, too! Then I took my car into Tesla for repair of an unrelated item and they undid all the wiring since they thought it was in the way but didn't put it back! Grr! This may be obvious but don't forget that hauling stuff will suck your battery MUCH faster and the battery calculator on the car's computer doesn't take that into account. Be well charged up before any hauling. We coasted into one town on zero battery because of this the first time. Luckily made it to the supercharger!

[@GoHerping]

I'm averaging about 400kwh vs my usual 275 or so, honestly not quite as bad as I anticipated. do you tend to find chargers with trailer pull throughs or have to disconnect the trailer every charge? the majority I find don't have them.

I know the dispatcher didn't say it because idk he got confused in your situation. Don't call 911 for non emergency situations. Go to Google and get the number for the local police and call the police directly. The police got there fast because you called 911 but next time call the police directly even though it will take 30 minutes or more for them to show up, because it's a non emergency situation. I would have personally left the key inside with a note and say well your shit app doesn't work and your shit employee doesn't work either so he left the door open I walked in and left your key here.
