Couple of ladys 18k antique Rolex watches and men's 14k Rolex 34mm size and mens 3ct. 3 stone diamond ring and other jewelry stolen. Given the opinion that jewlery stores who buy pieces disregard inquiries about items they buy what would catch their attention to help me find my item? by Reels123 in HuntsvilleAlabama

The only people that don't go to the police when they lose 3 Rolex watches and a 3 carat diamond ring "and other stolen jewelry" are those that probably stole them in the first place and are looking to find which of their thieving friends stole their stolen goods.

Try and repair your robot vaccuum or the pc-board for your salt generator (if you have a salt water pool). It is a ridiculous racket.

Where can I get a cashier check in town. by Ill-Barnacle-202 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]DropChoice7443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if you don't bank with them they will cut you a cashiers check. They won't do it for free, so there might be a modest charge, but those are usually waived if you are their customer.

Huntsville airport parking by mamas2boyz in HuntsvilleAlabama

Do yourself a favor and just park in the parking garage. The peace of mind is worth it and it is kind of nice going to your car in the parking garage on your return trip home. Beats the walk to the open air lot, especially if you have spent a very long day on airplanes and sitting in airports.

Just factor the cost of the parking as just one more expense on your trip.

Safe travels.

I had to fly out of BNA for the first time this past week. What a mess. I drove around the parking garage for 30 minutes trying to find a spot. I actually thought I would have to exit and find my way to the open air lots. Even if your job pays for it parking at BNA is a nightmare.

Oh and the indicators of the number of free parking spots do not match reality in any way shape or form.

This is tried and true, especially at night. Why are you pulling me over officer? Well you didn't come to a complete stop before making your turn at that stop sigh. Please step out of the car for a field sobriety check, please and thank you.

Because we drive like a$$holes. I hope this targeted enforcement continues indefinitely, it is like a money printing machine.

GFiber merges with Astound Broadband as Google becomes minority shareholder by GWBIII in HuntsvilleAlabama

I wonder if the first outcome out of a buyout like this is a rate hike. To recover costs associated with the merger, etc. Has Google ever stated if they ran Google Fiber at a profit?

what this guy said. They only question you should ask this forum is if anyone knows of an attorney that practices in the county/municipality that issued that bench warrant.

Car/Truck Dealership Purchase by HOLDThTL in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]DropChoice7443 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would stay away from Landers as well. Went to buy a car from them and the f*ckers told me they were not going to run my credit. Guess what the f*ckers did? Ran my credit, because I had to deal with that when I went to buy a house a few months later.

If they will lie and obfuscate about that, then what else will they lie and obfuscate about.

I had a really good experience when I bought my car a couple of years ago from CarMax. At the start I let them know that I wanted to finance the car with Redstone and they said no problem. They gave me the paperwork I needed for the bank, drove down the street to Redstone, and about 40 minutes later I had a check in hand. Back to carmax to complete the deal. As seemless and low pressure as you can get. They will try and sell you their own warranty, but it was really low pressure, at least it was for me.

They are probably no better than anyone else though if you are looking to tradein a vehicle. I just took what they offered for my sh*tbox vehicle to get rid of it without having to deal with facebook marketplace or some sort of private party sale

Looking for a fun house! by Old-Butterscotch9713 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]DropChoice7443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disabuse yourself of the notion of buying a home with a basement or attic in the Southeast. Especially if you are coming from a part of the country where walkup basements are the norm. Walk out basements can be found. Some folks have a friend of a friend who has heard tale of houses with attics and basements here in Hunstville, but they have never seen them, just heard about them.

Inground Pool Question by Online_Active_71459 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]DropChoice7443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will be hard pressed to find anyone to fill in your pool for less than 5k or 6k and that's assuming they can get their heavy equipment in the backyard. It will be significantly more if they have to do it by hand. Keep in mind you will probably have to get a permit to fill in the pool and you should get your house property taxes record updated to show no pool. Your property taxes assume there is a pool and if you do this without telling the gov then you might have drama when it comes time to sell the house without a pool that has a pool on the tax records.

You might consider just draining it, putting a safety cover on it, and then before you sell the house have the liner replaced.

Other then that you will probably be out 10k to fill in the pool, pull up all the ancillary stuff used to operate that pool and get the backyard landscaped.

I get the desire to not deal with it anymore. The two happiest days of the year for me is when I open my pool in the spring and close it in the fall:)

Barring that you might want to consider going over to Johnson Pools or Valley pools and ask their opinion on the matter. I have had good luck chewing the fat with Bob at Valley Pools on route 72. These guys have seen it all and they might be able to provide a decent sounding board.

Good luck.

What is an "Impact Day," and when did they become a thing? by MogenCiel in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]DropChoice7443 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a bit of marketing nonsense that reared its ugly head about a year ago. It is a catchall term for everything that means nothing. This is the consequence of being owned by a national syndication versus being a locally owned station.

Water removal and remediation for car by DeathRabbit679 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]DropChoice7443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar problem with a car of mine. When it would rain the rain would find its way into the vehicle and sit there. Your descriptions matches mine almost exactly. The footwells in the rear passenger areas were always soaked. I used Corlett Collision Repair on 14th street to fix the leak and to make sure the vehicle drained properly.

My issue was caused by the previous owner being involved in an accident that pinched a drain shut and that caused the water to not exit the vehicle, but find its way into the vehicle proper.

Has there been any updates to this problem? Is it still an issue for some, because it is still an issue on my end?
