They can't find out who rented it, but a librarian can tell you who owes on a book taken out in 1935
You just reminded I owe my library from 20yrs ago. I need to go pay them.
@@eddilovee brother man you gotta escape while you got the chance
🇳🇴❤️🤣😂🙏🤣😂❤️
In 1987 I got into a dispute with my local library over a book they claimed I never returned, which I had put in the returns slot. If it was just the value of the book I'd have paid it and forgotten about it, but they wanted a $40 "service fee" on top of the replacement fee. I told them to go piddle up a rope. I recently moved back to the city and tried to get a library card. They said fine... as soon as I paid the fee I owed them from 1987.

"We're glad to have it back"
Sends it to vehicle recycling
lol
my thoughts exactly
Ikr they say they're glad to have it back yet they're scrapping It
They won’t get $1K at the scrap yard - but , they could if they sold it to someone like me through a business like Co-Part . They just won’t . Rich people / rich businesses don’t feel obligated to do what’s right because they aren’t expected to .
Right 😂😂
The pull up of the door cutting to a reporter talking is some next level local news cinematography.
Imagine the filming crew planning that shot:
“Steve, Steve, come here! I’m gonna crouch inside this uhaul and hide while you open the door to find me! I’ll get it all on camera!”
Lmfao, I really watched it again! This comment is underappreciated and enchanced my viewing experience, 10/10.
This reminds me of a van I retreived for a local cable company at my old job. Went missing for 5 years, when it came time for inspection they went looking for it. Come to find out it was parked in an underground garage, 5 stories down. Jumped it, and drove it out. No one that worked there bothered to check on it. It hadn't received a single citation since it got there. No one touched it, the dust was undisturbed. How that happened in Los Angeles County still amazes me.
5 years and it started with just a jump? It's surprising that the fuel was still good enough to start after all that time.
In Seattle and Portland the catalytic converter is gone in 12 hours
Lol trippy
In my working building, I’m scared to leave my car onsite for more than 2 days. They’ll either cite or tow you.
Surprised it wasn’t occupied by a bum
U-haul: Let's go get that trailer that's been gone for 14 years.
Gets it back
U-haul: Thank goodness, now we can scrap it
maybe they had to hide a dirty secret? xD
They should just sell it
Yep
😂😂😂😂
Ha! You beat me to typing this! LOL
Uhaul Manager: Lets find that trailer thats been missing.
Uhaul employee to friend: Dude you gotta get that trailer back, they are looking for it.
I'll bet that's exactly what happened.
I also thought that an employee may be involved. After all, how else would anyone know that they were starting to look for it again, unless an announcement had been put somewhere?
Exactly what I thought too
Oh, you know it. It’s not a coincidence that it suddenly turned up when inquires were being made. Maybe some retired high level employee.
That happens when you put a teenager in charge
“ *They don’t plan on pressing charges* .”
Uhm, who are they gonna press charges on? Casper? 🤦🏻♂️😂
I found the trailer in My Dads stuff when he died. We were Salvation army workers and it was one of 200 we rented for Katrina relief..This one was shipped out in a storage container full of supplies and for some reason, it was sent back in the empty container.. The containers were ours and we always left the trailers in LA...I just opened a container up for the first time in 15 years settling my fathers estate..and there it was....I would have Never returned that trailer if I had known you were going to just scrap it. The only thing wrong with it was a chip at the bottom of the door, the bent fender and the lights quit working.
What’s crazy is this comment looks like it might get lost in the sea of other comments. Kind of ironic.
@@Haywood-Jablomi As did the money sent to help the less fortunate. I was amazed at how much waste went on during that time. My accounting is more anecdotal as we did move materials for the Katrina efforts and I did find trailers, MRE's, Tarps, Water and basic relief supplies in containers, We are in NC so it is surely not our returned trailer mentioned.. I just thought it was a little strange that I find a mention of a situation mirroring my own so accurately.
That trailer after 14 years of abandonment is in better shape than anything I'd ever rented from U-Haul.
Haha yes 😂
Yes!! So let’s scrap it! 🙄
👏🏽
That's better condition than my daily driver... 🤣

“They don’t plan on pressing charges.”
As if they have a choice.
they could sue the trailer for going missing.

The “news” is so dumb. Of course they aren’t. Who would they press charges against? Lol
My uncle had a lawn mower returned after 12 years from a friend who went to jail for 2 years, and after being convicted prison for 10. Sometimes people have family or friends with a rural piece of property and when their life is unexpectedly derailed they just have their family clean out their place instead of everything going to a stranger or the dump. This thing was probably parked in a barn somewhere and maybe someone realized it couldn't be sold or easily disposed of so they sneakily brought it back to u-haul.
UHaul: "We're just happy to have this trailer back after 14 years"
Also UHaul: "Let's scrap it"
Plot twist. They took a New one after returning this one. We'll see in 14 years.
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
more proof that plot twist comments are never funny
STOP

I’m glad they returned it after 14 years. 15 years would have been obnoxious.
haha
Me too
13 years wouldn’t have been right to return it
@@IIIJDubsIII Well yeah 13 is an unlucky number
@@benevolentdictator9100 v true
It “mysteriously” appears after 14 years as soon as the company starts looking for it??? There are no coincidences people. That trailer was taken by an employee, or the employee knew who had the uhaul. Most likely was using the trailer for storage or illegal activity.
Yeah seems pretty obvious, the likelihood of that coincidence is absurdly impossible.
@@deiterp3912 Except it’s not “practically impossible”, and coincidences do happen all the time. This whole scenario boils down to two related occurrences happening at roughly the same time. There’s nothing impossible about that coincidence and the coincidence alone isn’t enough to be certain that it was an employees doing
@@deiterp3912bruh it's not that deep. Chill.
What actually happened: it was returned 14 years ago after being rented for only one weekend. But the manager at that location harbored a grudge against the district manager, who started dating his ex. So to get back at him, he took the trailer the night it was returned, changed the license plate, and continually rented it out to uhaul customers, but altered the payment system to make it where customers paid him directly. The trailer was under U-Hauls nose the entire time, but because the license plate was changed, and it was always surrounded by similar looking trailers, no one ever noticed it. After 14 years had passed, that manager had become district manager himself, and his ex and the old district manager had broken up, and he was pretty psyched about that. So he decided that now was the time to make his move. He had a friend take it home as a mock rental, and drop it back off at night where no one would be around. The next day, he let this low-level employee check it out, and the last record he saw in the system, (at the control of our beloved then-manager) was a rental contract for the trailer from 14 years ago. He called his district manager, which is of course our guy, behind all of this, who acts completely surprised. He fabricated this story about it being gone for all that time, since even though it’s been on the buildings cameras so many times, it’s virtually indistinguishable from the others. He knew it would be a great story and called the local news, who picked up on the story, which covered his tracks further. In the end, he got to watch the old district manager break up with his old girl, took his job, made out with over 100k in customer money paid directly to him, and got away with it all. It was a completely smooth operation. This guy has become the Uhaul mastermind. When is what the movie about this whole incident is going to be called. Anyways, I just made all that up. But it would be a cool movie, though.
It's sad, but it's still a possibility!
Not me, believing you. 😂
That was the best story I ever read
Totally had me 😂
@@stephkg84 same lol
"Theyre just happy to have it back"
"Its headed to be scrapped"
Yea my mans shoulda kept the trailer
That's what I thought aswell :,D Like why would they be happy when they clearly don't have any use for ist and are just gonna scrap it
Realest comment on this video
Yeah just strip away the paint and repaint it with the color they like
Cash for junk baby
Came to post the EXACT same comment.
"There just happy to have it back" literally sending it to be scrapped lol
@@whatsaaappthesequel dont think so
*they're
I heard this from someone who used to work at U Haul, when they take the trailers to get “scrapped” they usually take every old screw off snd put new ones on and if the actual box of the trailer is damaged they just replace the panel that is damaged and place new tired and leave everything the same, they especially save the actual steel “skeleton” of the trailer because of how strong it is theres no need to replace it, they make them hella beefy for that same reason, to re use them since they’re super durable. You dont really see a beefy steel “skeleton” like those on regular trailers unless theyre big trailers lol
@@alexsalazar1569 They know what people are going to do with them and how people they rent these trailers to drive. If they used a trailer that you or I would buy from a trailer manufacturer their inventory would be destroyed, I seen one of these trailers driven over a concrete curb while taking a turn at about 25 mph. tossing it up in the air and bouncing back down., If I did that with my trailer my tires would have been blown out my rims bent and at least bent one of my axles.
News dude is just peppering up the story a bit. Uhaul wrote this off long time ago and didnt care about it - the whole "we began to look for it recently" was also Uhaul peppering up the story a bit. This kind of news story is a good one because people love a good mystery and it leads to tremendous views for the news channel and free publicity for Uhaul.
They really took “I’ll just do it tomorrow” to a whole different level
True. Time can get away from us
This is a great example of the old saying, "If your husband said he'd do something, he'll do it. There's no need to keep asking him about it every 4-6 months." In this case, returning the trailer to UHaul.
14 years ago
Wife: “Honey, you need to bring that trailer back”
13 years and 51 weeks ago
Wife: “Honey, you brought the trailer back right?”
Husband: “of course”
Sometimes just gotta play it smooth and hope for the best
The chances of it being some guy procrastinating isnt low 🤣
He forgot and stashed it for 13.75 years
I told my wife if you tell me to do something I will do it, there is no reason to remind me every 6 months.

😂😂😂😂😂
Exact opposite of my U-Haul experience where I returned a trailer to them in person and then U-Haul phoned and harassed me for weeks about the trailer that I supposedly hadn’t returned. Had to go back to the rental agent twice who was as bewildered as I was because she knew I’d returned the trailer.
It was probably returned to a U-Haul branch 14 years ago but U-Haul made an admin error and didn’t realise that serial number was in the corner of their parking lot. I’ve heard of this poor stock keeping happen with cars for sale when the dealership loses track of their stock.
The most disturbing part of the story is when he calculated out the tax. That’s the most offensive part of the story.
Wonder if he did it in his head right there and then. That would be some scary shit
The back of it is full of at wire I think it was abduction item
12,000 in taxes for 14 years. The saddest part is retirement funds or social security(I forget) get taxed even more. Looking more towards 100k or over. It’s sad how much money they’re charging for ridiculous taxes these days
Welcome to USA where tax exist
Get over if 💯
@@mikeblazey3906 It might exist but BOY a lot of people refuse to pay it there
U-Haul: We're looking for this trailer so we can scrap it. Oh we're happy to see it back.
So, why would they dedicate resources to find it.
@@ast-og-losta Right?!?
I had the same thought!
Sad
They could tell the person they can have it, and the person can use it to advertise as they drive around.
After 14 years there’s no telling how many “missing persons” saw the inside of that trailer.
Their was a cart in the river at the metroparks for like 7 years. I decided to clean up the spot and got the cart out of the river. It was rusted and the wheels were all seized. Instead of throwing it away i thought it would be funny to return it to the store covered in algae all rusted. Figured a employee would get a good laugh out of it considdering how horrible it looked. I figured they would just throw it away. I just forgot about it, i was at the store yesterday and i was amazed to see the cart racked up with all the others. It had the old acme logo on it and had paint covering all the rust. Had the haha carved in the handle. I cant believe they fixed that cart. I was shocked. So i guess the employees got me back with a laugh. And i really needed it.
I went to Radio Shack today to return a VHS that I bought few years ago, but they told me that I need the receipt.
Radio shack still in business lol?

Narrator: "It must have gone on quite an adventure".
The adventure: *Literally sitting in one place doing nothing for 14 years.*
Hahahahaha true!!!
That's definitely the case too. Bet someone rented it while moving to a new home, realized it would be good "temporary" storage and it's just been sitting on their driveway or in their yard for 14 years.
I'll bet a death got it stuck and a death brought it back. Older married couple rented trailer for whatever reason, then the husband got sick/died. The widow just left the trailer sit where it was on a property large enough idle equipment could accumulate. When the widow died, the family realized this thing had been sitting around for years and didn't want to get stuck with the bill so they just hauled the trailer back in the middle of the night and that's that.
@@namesolonggood1sgone actually a super possible scenario lol
In their mind the guy who had it went around the world 185 times before returning it.
We have seemingly an abandoned U-Haul truck in my area. Located in an area of West Main Road, between the Newport Automobile Museum and the Lawton's Valley Reservoir, in Portsmouth, RI. Narragansett Bay
remind me to come back to this video once it's 14 years old. it's 5 years old rn.
Im not accusing anyone, but i feel like a uhaul worker borrowed this and never returned it until they found out Uhaul started looking again

@@SirTorcharite the entire video is implying that, thats the whole joke of it "_mysteriously_ showing up when they start looking"
You're all missing the point.
Look how long that trailer lasts.
Aluminum, baby!
Eh, I doubt the producer got down to check the frame, axles, bearing, brakes, wiring etc.
U-Haul has their trailers custom made to their design specs with durability in mind, as they tend to get the shi* beaten out of them. The galvanizing on the frames is thick, they are overbuilt for the load they are posted to carry. Many parts have "U-Haul" stamped into all kinds of various parts on them to help identify the trailer as one. The companies that make them are not permitted to make other versions for other companies.
It’s it better shape than most UHaul equipment I’ve rented
Kid I have 30 year old trailers that still work, mild steel
@@smokinpods9149 I have a 70 year old plow that still works
That reminds me of a story in 1972 I took an RCA TV the neighborhood TV in San Jose to be repaired and I completely forgot about it here we are in 2023 I went back over there inquired about the TV and the guy says oh yeah we'll have it ready for you in a couple of days
was probably someone that worked there that long that had been using it. they thought it was forgotten so they still had it and when they saw people were looking into it they brought it back.
Dude just had a really big house and nobody to help him move is all

It’s crazy how often it happens, I remember working for uhaul and this happened so often. The worst part was when we would lose a key and would just write it off as a late return and bill the last customer for a late charge. They would be so upset but they never asked for paperwork upon returning it so we would just say “dispute it with your bank” 😂

What
Why did they interview a random person on the street about what they'd do with the trailer? Why do news stations do that? What does a random person commenting on the story, in the middle of the story, add?

Statue of limitations is 10 years on grand theft. Keep the damn thing
Doesn't sound like they have anyone to file charges on anyway, but statute of limitations vary and depends on the state where they filed (U Haul corp HQ? Local branch office?). Some are three years for felonies, others longer. At least three states have no statue of limitations at all for felonies, which would include grand theft.
The statute of limitations is only for prosecution, it does not transfer ownership so U haul still owns the trailer.
Lol
The statue of limitations was torn down because it was racist.
Thievery is Thievery......that doesn’t change with time.
garuntee it was an employee who used it, and for it to show back up after questions are being asked about it again means that employee still works for uhaul somehwere
It's probably just a traller that was stolen and forgotten about on a piece of property that was sold and the new owner of the property probably returned it because they didn't want it sitting on the newly purchased land. Also, they're glad to have it back , but they're scraping it? They could have fixed it up or sold it as is. Could make a great custom camper.
"I've seen trailers that haven't been stolen that are in worse shape."
That doesn't really make me feel good when passing them on the highway.

They used to have problems with the trucks. Rusted frame, lights not working, bad brakes. And accidents on the road.

This guy's voice is the news voice in every city iv ever fucking lived.
broadcasters use this generic accent to keep their options open. that way they can find work in new york, california, or anywhere inbetween.
Same here in Georgia too
It's the same reason the majority of sitcoms and other shows all use generic mid west accents. It's the easiest to be clear and understand, and can get you work anywhere. Even foreign actors attempt to mimic the mid west accent the most.
The exception is if the show is specifically set somewhere where a mid west accent would be weird.
If you want to teach English in Vietnam, you HAVE to have a mid west accent. If you have a southern or eastern accent, you will not be hired.
You don't expect real men to do the news do you?
Lol i know right!!!!
You would be surprised how often this occurs. I worked at a uhaul office for 6 months while on a seasonal layoff, and during that time we had 3 trucks that had gone missing, as well as 5 trailers dumped at the property. One of my largest fears was loosing the keys to the trucks, so when I would go and count the trucks in the lot, and would find I was missing a key, I spent over a hour looking for it, before realizing that it wasn't even a truck we were supposed to have.
I can only imagine a 26' truck being there in the morning with no records and just thinking "Where TF did you come from?!"
Fun fact: When the trailer went missing, that manager wasn't born yet.
Employee or former employee had it and heard it was being looked for. That happens a lot with rental places.
Now if someone returned a VHS or DVD to blockbuster, the late fees would bring them back to business.
I still have my blockbuster membership card lol
Chance Murphy that shit’ll be worth alot someday lol.
Still have some tapes with the “Be Kind Please Rewind” sticker on the spine along with a membership card, I’d love to give them back if it means being able to walk in one again lol
They arrested a lady on felony theft for failure to return a movie incurring late fees. Google it..I was like whaaa tf

Typical Corporate Entity. No sense.
They could probably sell it.
“U haul is just happy to have it back”. Why? They’re sending it to the scrapyard anyways where they will get about $40 for it. And why would they suddenly be looking for it “recently” after missing for so long? A company that big could have forgot about this trailer on day 1. Sounds fishy.
Administrative Oversight: Lost it on paper and in the long Grass at the back of the Lot.
@@Blackwater_House Lmao! Wouldn’t surprise me
Yes, its very unlikely they were recently looking for it. But better to pretend they'll never forget rather than inspire other people with the same idea.
Also, they probably had to scrap it since it was probably claimed as a casualty on their insurance 13 years and 9 months before it turned back up.
A manager realized that he “forgot” it at his house and they were on to him.

I watched so much Onion news network that I thought this was fake

1:34 OMG that lifting of the back gate. Respect to this reporter for their effort on a seemingly small piece. It's stuff like this that make news entertaining!
Lol nah bruh
hopefully they can feed him now
@@aidan_yoproductions7231 Lol yesh bruh.
the only thing that could make news entertaining now days is if pies were being thrown behind the reporter constantly
They probably collected the insurance money 13 years ago.
Yah, so why were they recently looking for it? Sounds fishy.
U-haul is self insured.
That trailer after 14 years of abandonment is in better shape than anything I'd ever rented from U-Haul
There was a truck from a reno uhual missing 4 years.. found on a side just siting there for years
Pretty certain the dog knows something. He's not talking either.
Roll that beautiful bean footage!
Whoever had that truck, probably has a bunch of books that belong to the library, & shelf full of VHS movies that belong to Blockbuster.
and zero dignity.
Really glad Logic got his Haul back 👍
Why scrap it?! It still looks pretty decent
Didn’t they even have the person’s name that rented it? Or did I miss that part!😩
You expect actual journalism in this day and age? That's just silly.
It may have not been rented, just came up missing one day.
Exactly.....why were the police not informed after it was a few days late... AND MOST OF ALL....terrorists rent these (first twin tower attack and others) ....are they not suppose to be TOTALLY ON TOP OF LATE RENTALS DUE TO THIS POSSIBILITY??
@@clintcannon1902 nope, they just read lines written by some dumb kid.
@@tonyromano6220 I quit expecting real journalism when Cronkite died and Browkaw retired.
We not gonna go about our day and pretend that man don’t look like Logic
Bro i was saying the same thing.
I thought the thumbnail was logic bro
I thought I was the only one to notice!
Legit. Oh nice name btw
@@JohnSmith-cc3ud great minds think alike
Wow 😮14 years
This is very news worthy. I think that interviewing people on the street really added to this story.
I worked at uhaul they definitely were not “recently “ looking for it. They wrote it off and insurance pays out and bought a new one seen it happened with a few things
I knew it. That's what I was commenting to other people. They are a multi million to probably billion dollar company to be worried about pennies 14 years later. They likely said it so people won't think they can just steal one and uhaul will forget about it. Oh no they will "hunt" you down 14 years later. Lol
uhaul is self insured
@@douglascline2194at your behalf. Nothing is free.
@@douglascline2194someone has to pay for it, I guarantee it's not going to be uhaul. Either the government will foot the bill or the customers with their insurance will pay for it.
Plot Twist: Manager of the uhaul location has also been with the company for 14 yrs, since it was on the remove from service list he knew he could return it without getting in trouble. Next week news story will be how a new trailer went missing and will be returned when the manager retires or 14 years later... whichever comes first.
Sounds about right. The entire story is a glorified U-haul commercial.
They can't find out who rented it because it was borrowed by an employee or ex-employee.
looks better than the last truck i rented from uhaul
Plot twist: The person responsible for this is scanning the comment section reading all the Plot twist comments...
Plot twist : you had the trailer this whole time
@@illegalalien200 was it that obvious?? 😳
plot twist:it was there the whole time and this story is just an ad for U-haul
@@patrick19Xbl i wouldn't doubt it!
Plot twist: he liked your comment
I guarantee you one of the employees took the thing. The fact that it just so happened to reappear as they were looking for it means that someone working for the company knew that they might get in trouble if anyone traced the missing trailer back to them so they had it brought back before anyone could realize it and stripped any evidence of their involvement with the trailer off to cover their tracks. If the owners are absolute idiots then I'm sure they'll fall for that. Got to give him props for trying though
I just don't understand why they started looking for it again after 14 years. They say that twice in the report, but don't elaborate with why...
My guess is that the person who rented it probably passed away during that 14 year period and so nobody else ever knew about it until much later, and that's when it got returned!
Thank God this incredibly important and groundbreaking story was reported on so TH-cam can recommend it to me. Now I can sleep soundly...
Plot twist: The news anchor doing this video is the person who return the trailer which is why they can’t find who they are suspicious of
Well they must be stupid they can just see who last rented it
Somehow after 14 years, the trailer design still looks surprisingly good even today, and the logo is completely unchanged. If this wasn't looking slightly derelict and damaged, I could mistake it as just another generic U-Haul trailer.
I guess maybe this is proof that the Mandela effect is bullshit? Lol
guarentee some insurance reason is why this isn't just being put back into circulation
That dog looks like a good boy
The person who stoled the trailer watching this..
“damn I should’ve kept the trailer”
Stole*
