News Flash!!! Battery Charge Thief Apprehended!!!
We interrupt this message to make an important announcement. The Chevy Express van, also known as The Perfect Tow Vehicle, has been restored to perfection. The culprit reponsible for the draw on its battery has been identified and taken into custody. The perpetrator is one power inverter which still had ties to the battery although previously thought to have been disconnected. Cost: $32.50 for 1/2 hour labor. Let’s hope this puts an end to the vicious crime spree against an outstanding member of the tow vehicle community.
The victim of battery charge thievery
The auto electric guy said I could have the power inverter hooked up with no draw on the battery if I had a cut-off switch installed. Parts and labor would cost about $95. I told him to fergeddaboudit. He also said I probably could sell it for about $100-$150. Whatever. I’m just happy my van is okay!
