"She said she thought the man she hired to move her home knew what he was doing. Chris "Pancake" Meyers told her, she said, that he had more than 13 years' experience in hauling things and that he had the proper permits and insurance for the move. (She didn't ask to see proof of insurance or a permit, she said."

If there's a lesson to be learned .... don't ever hire someone to move you with a name like "Pancake."

Yes, also “Nummy”, “Pecky”, “Goober”, “Coon”, “Ratty”, etc.

In 1977 I paid a National Mobile home mover, to move my mobile 237 miles, from Yuma County to Kingman.

I had to pay before it would be moved.

Days, weeks went by and and I got nasty.

The Local County Attorney made a few phone calls and the mobile was brought to Kingman, but to a storage yard.

The County Attorney got on the phone and they brought it to my property here.

But they called and wanted additional money , double what I had paid in the beginning..

I called the Sheriff and told them that I was fearful that I was going to have troubles, so a young Sheriff came out, looked at my paperwork and told me to not say a word, that he would do the talking.

He talked and the mobile was parked, inside the property line, barely.

A week later, Planning and Zoning showed up, wanting to cite me for attempting to park 2 mobiles on one lot [3 acre lot].

The moving company man also told me to put every thing that I owned in the mobile, not to worry it would be here in 3 days, that if I left the aquariums hooked to the electric supply, he would unplug it, when he moved and all my tropical fish would survive the trip....etc.

Not true weeks later.

It was my luck to get a crooked driver, who cashed my check and several others and went on a big party, or so the company said.
