fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Mandy Lea added 3 new photos — feeling heartbroken. 5 hrs · Austin, TX, United States · PLEASE HELP. As many of you know, my teardrop is more than just a get away to me, it is my home. As of June 1st I was to be living out of it full time. As happe...ns with the world, I've been punched in the gut. I went out to get something this morning and it is gone. Simply vanished. I don't know what to do right now, but if you can help me in ANY way, leads, look online, I don't know. Please do. It is a teal colored Little Guy Teardrop Trailers T@G. It's my baby. Please help. *UPDATE: I am so so grateful for all the shares, but still feeling quite hopeless. Here are more details that might help: LICENSE: B107695 VIN: 57HTT13S0FS001043 AUSTIN POLICE FILE #161090684 COLOR: White & Teal (teal is uncommon) The plate is mounted to the door, not the plate holder It has a Princess Craft logo/address on the back. Stolen from Austin, TX - but may have made its way to other states by now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't know if OK to post this here but can't hurt. I hope her T&G is soon found. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 That's horrible. I would think it would be ok to post here. The more who have an eye out the better. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momof3kids-Yvonne 594 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I know the feeling of going out to your driveway (or wherever she kept the camper) expecting it to be there and it's not. That happened to me once with my car. Praying it is found soon and whoever took it didn't do any damage to it. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Oh, so sad. When I get to a real computer, I'll share this to all the T@B/T@G groups Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fortpartyof4 108 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Saw this on FB as well. I hope she gets it back and it's not trashed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I hope her insurance will pay for the loss. Either way... people can be horrible Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I agree, it's horrible. I keep checking craigslist in our area. No hits yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bhall 115 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I don't think you will see it in Craigslist. It's probably been pulled into the woods somewhere and is being set up as a meth kitchen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Or it's on it's way to Mexico. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Just read that she does have insurance, and a Go Fund Me account has been set up and already raised 2600 to replace her personal items, accessories, and deductible. BUT unless she gets a stock one from a dealer, it will be at least a 3 month lead time to order a new one if she wants a custom color again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 There is an update. **UPDATE!**** Last night the Austin Police Department found her. My heart broke again at seeing her condition. At this point that is all the details I am able to give as I want law enforcement to have their time to do their job. Please don't ask for more details right now as I simply can't give them. I DO promise to update you all when it is safe. I am so grateful to have had all of your support and continued love through this. I hope that my gratitude can be shown through my images from my upcoming journey, and that you will all continue to follow in my adventures. Love and Light ❤☀? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caveat lector 181 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I hope karma is extremely vengeful. Found out last weekend my boat traidler was stolen. The effort it took to steal was laughable. Hope those SOBSs crashed into a bridge embankment on the way home. Same for the scum bags that stole your trailer and then trashed it. Sorry to hear it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I was just about to come post this. Glad to hear it was found. It will take time, but between her insurance, the big GOFUNDME donations she received, she'll have a complete baby back. It will take time, but at least it's something. djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PGHFiend 140 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Any hint to what they did to it in such a short amount of time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Haven't seen an update. Apparently there is still some investigation going on. Maybe we'll get more pictures later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Like the thugs who steal or hijack a car which is then found a few blocks or miles away, wrecked. Disgusting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Looks like she is getting a brand new T@G, and they are fastracking the build. The folks from the factory are helping her out. This is a quote from the president of Little Guy: "Good Morning everyone, this is Chris from Little Guy Worldwide. At Little Guy, we are very fortunate to have customers who love...no, adore their trailers. We hear stories every day of people who take their trailer everywhere, who live in it, travel this great country of ours--your adventures and your love of your Little Guy inspires us! Once in awhile we will hear a story that touches our hearts, and this is exactly what happened with the story of Mandy Lea from Austin, Texas. By now, you all know Mandy as a talented photographer who travels the country in her Little Guy...until recently when someone stole her trailer taking with them everything that she has to travel and photograph. Several days later Mandy received a call that her trailer had been found, but unfortunately it had been vandalized and nearly destroyed to the point Mandy reached out to me crushed that she felt it was no longer hers. We at Little Guy knew we needed to get involved and extend our help. And while we can't always assist every amazing Little Guy owner, we knew we could help Mandy. I reached out to her dealer, Princess Craft RV's awesome owner P.J. Buerger, and together we were able to partner and order Mandy her dream Little Guy with all the bells and whistles to help her get back on the road and back to doing what she loves, chronicling her adventures through photographic images of her journeys. We feel blessed to be able to help out and will always continue to be actively involved in the amazing teardrop community that has risen. A long time ago, Joe and I made a commitment that every day we would treat people right and do the right thing...and with that we felt that the right thing would happen to Little Guy and it truly has. Good Luck Mandy and please stay in touch! May the winds of adventure always be at the back of you and your to be named Little Guy! We all will look forward with anticipation to your photos from the road and to be able to share them with your fellow Little Guy owners. See ya at Tearstock my friends!"
