paid $2,000 in cash for a 1999 Dodge Caravan and used the card to buy $800 worth of tires and wheels.
We have a theme park nearby that rents trailers by the weekend or the week. It attracts TPWT.
My BIL defines these people as the kind that would win Lotto and BUY a trailer at the park.
LOL ... once a loser, always a loser.

Reyes, according to an arrest affidavit, paid $2,000 in cash for a 1999 Dodge Caravan and used the card to buy $800 worth of tires and wheels.

If I were going to steal a couple of million bucks, I think I'd look more to Jon Corzine's or the Kardashians spending habits for inspiration than to my neighbors at the trailer park who have jobs. Then again, I'd never want to steal a couple of million bucks.

We had a similar incident years ago in which a real poor man living in a single wide trailer was hired at our high pay plant.

After still living for several years like a person in a trailer park one of the men explained to him that with his pay he could now afford to buy a decent foundation built house.

His response....”I guess I will look into a double wide then!”

I remember reading a story in the 1990’s, shortly after the Georgia state lottery was started, about a man who lived in a run-down trailer and won a million dollars. When asked what he was going to do with the money, he said, “I’m going to get a double-wide!”

Several years ago, there was a guy here at the Jersey Shore who was legally blind. He won five million in the NJ Lottery. First thing he did was go out and buy a car!
