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.

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... 🤣
A fuckin Men
"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 😂😂
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

Plot twist. They took a New one after returning this one. We'll see in 14 years.

“They don’t plan on pressing charges.”
As if they have a choice.
they could sue the trailer for going missing.
@@UnknownGamer40464 sounds like they don't even know who took it.

@@johnnyapocalyptic9588 oh for christ's sake 😂😂
The “news” is so dumb. Of course they aren’t. Who would they press charges against? Lol
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
"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.
“ *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.
"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.
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.

They really took “I’ll just do it tomorrow” to a whole different level
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!

UHaul: "We're just happy to have this trailer back after 14 years"
Also UHaul: "Let's scrap it"
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.
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"

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.
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.
remind me to come back to this video once it's 14 years old. it's 5 years old rn.
Dude just had a really big house and nobody to help him move is all
I know that feeling. Sometimes it's best that way so things don't turn up "missing" when you get done with the move.
That's what I'm thinking too
@@dbzownz12345 honestly, I feel that on another level. I hate when things go missing just because someone in my house picked it up and didn’t inform me where they put it.
@@yeeturmcbeetur8197 My old boss told me that we waste like 35% of our time just looking for things because they are never put back in their orginal spot. Lesson noted. Can't say the same for others. Can only control myself...
@@dbzownz12345 I can believe that.
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.
Who ever had it took care of it, the tires looked almost new. Never had a uhaul trailer with that good of tread when i rented it.
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.
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?
Producer’s Girlfriend : sure Honey, I can get you on Television.

Possible intent/motive(s)/interest(s) for said actions.
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

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.
After 14 years there’s no telling how many “missing persons” saw the inside of that trailer.
Imagine a modern world where stories like this are the only news worthy things happening. Boring? Sure. But we're due for a break.
Imagine a modern world where there are stories the establishment doesn't want you to hear, so they work with the media to put up distracting nonsense. Scandal? Nah. Look over here, its an old uHaul trailer an employee stole and then returned when they noticed it was missing.

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.

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!!!!
Definitely someone who works there and heard they were looking for it
returned out of the goodness of their hearts
Now if someone returned a VHS or DVD to blockbuster, the late fees would bring them back to business.

This is very news worthy. I think that interviewing people on the street really added to this story.
I imagine it was an employee or former employee who knew the place and that it wouldn’t be missed. Used it for local work. When they heard it was finally being searched for, they snuck it back. Easy peasy.
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?!"
“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.
@@nutandboltguy3720 😂

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” 😂

The last time I returned a rental truck I took video of the truck and of myself dropping the key into the drop box.
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.
“I’ve seen trailers in worse shape that haven’t been stolen” His manager: “can I see you in my office for a min?”
Those good ol U-Thaul trailer
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!
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.
Pretty certain the dog knows something. He's not talking either.

Really glad Logic got his Haul back 👍
We are thankful to have the trailor back!!...........Ok now LET'S SCRAP IT!!!
🙅
News makes no sense these days.
Rick Harrison: The best I can do is two empty aluminum cans 😂🤣😆
It is theirs to do what they want with
Typical Corporate Entity. No sense.
They could probably sell it.
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
My guess is the renter got a few occasional uses out of it but the trailer mostly spent years at a time taking up space in their yard or garage. So instead of throwing it away to make space, they just brought it back lmao
No no, it belongs in a museum, the U-Haul trailer returned 14 years later, money maker right there
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.
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...
Imagine the late charges on that bill🤯
It's 2:37am and I'm seeing this 3 years after it's been posted
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
Back here to revisit the mystery of the U-Haul trailer
I found a u-haul truck sitting in a Lowe's parking lot. It had parking tickets on it that were months old. I called u-haul to come pick it up.
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.
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
We rented a couple of Nintendo NES cartridges when we were living in California in the early 90s. That was some 4 or 5 days before we had to board our flight to return to Argentina. Now, 30 years later, I still have those same games with me (Tekmo Super Bowl and Bases Loaded 3).
Before you judge me, we played those games for a couple of days and then someone grabbed them and put them in a bag that went inside a suitcase and we found out we brought them back with us like a week after landing in Buenos Aires! 😂
Can somebody make the calculations of how much do we owe those guys after 30 years? Not that I'm going to flight to California to pay them, but out of curiosity.
That sounds like an old library book. Finally returned! Lol.
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
They’re not going to press charges? Probley cause they don’t know who took it lol
An employee or ex employee had it. Logical explanation.rented it out/used it as a side hustle in a few states over.
Around 1:44-1:54, they say U-Haul won't press charges.
Who rented it, how long ago was it & where do they live?...
They should be able to find that much out, at least...
In the Train world we would put this in a museum. Not send it straight to the “scrappers torch.”
"I've seen trailers that haven't been stolen in worst shape" that's a testament to the quality of trailers you get from U-Haul.
Did they edit the comment...take out "returned from rental" in worse shape?
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk, no, but that is clearly what the employee meant.
No, Damnkids, it's a testament to the quality of customers u-haul rents to.
@@notahotshot Which, to be fair, is.... basically anyone.
@@abbytran8514 yeah, they rent to any ol’ U that walks through the door but no Theys.
I only realized this wasn't the Onion halfway through.
So nice of Uhaul to hire Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys
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.
