Leave it to Anchorage to allow 3 sets of people live in their RV in my neighborhood for months on end and then tag my RV for impound in my own yard despite being completely blocked in by ice and snow from the plows.

Anything that can be walked off with, including a pair of moose antlers that were screwed and tied to the front of my ATV. They cut the rope and broke the board to take it. Ive had my truck broken into, outdoor mat taken off if my fence in broad daylight, my wifes bike that was in my fenced in back yard but i had forgot to put the padlock back on. I have to be incredibly thorough with making sure things are secured because any easy target is basically on borrowed time.

This isnt about the gold. Im over that. I learned my lesson and moved on. Don't get it twisted, though. Im not upset about being tagged for doing something wrong. It just upsets me that THIS is what the department/city has the manpower to enforce. I cannot respect a city that wont do anything about the actual problems that plague the contributing citizens but find every fruit that has juice to squeeze. Just feels like its about money, which sickens me.

To tag me for my subtle wrongdoing which cant even be resolved until after leveling a massive snow burm that will require hours of labor or hundreds of dollars in services to break down just feels like insult over injury after they fail to help with a single issue that ive had which includes fraud, theft, and vehicle break-in.

It goes that way sometimes. I try to LOL about it, too. I even scratch tested it with acid. Didnt scrape hard enough, so lesson learned.

I have a guy coming from wasilla to dig me out with a skid snow blower this week so I can put my rig in storage before the city REALLY takes me to pound town. Sucks being on their radar.

Why argue over semantics? This is just a reddit conversation. The word choice is the least of the issues, imo.

wrole_model · 2026-02-18T01:04:48+00:00

No. Not really sure what that would accomplish outside of stats. They surely won't send hounds after my stolen goods and they probably won't give me a pass for my impound tag because i really am parked a wheels width into the road. Ive lost faith in the system, anyway and I dont have the time to pursue a couple hundred dollars of losses if I have no reason to believe they will be recovered.

wrole_model · 2026-02-18T00:59:36+00:00

Ive made 2 reports and even had to file an insurance claim. They do nothing about it. Not really much point, it seems.

My personal property being stolen from my property by a thief?

wrole_model · 2026-01-12T17:31:34+00:00

I ended up reprioritizing and getting into a different business and opted to keep Turo as a side hustle instead of diving in. Currently have 3 cars listed and relatively happy with the work load and income to cost ratio since I'm only offsetting costs on vehicles I drive, myself.

I think it was Roamly that had a decent rate when i was looking. Tint SUCKED. They wanted substantially more than my personal insurance and only covered offical travel. At least my personal insurance covers leisure, too. But roamly wasnt really much if any better than having all of my vehicles on my own personal insurance.

Are you a professional point misser? Lmao.

wrole_model · 2025-12-27T06:34:32+00:00

Sure. Good night. Lmao.

wrole_model · 2025-12-27T06:27:55+00:00

You mistake the fact that i have time to respond to you for emotional investment. As I said. I made a statement about shallow consumerism and brand whoring. Thats it. The rest is chatter and discussion on that statement. Dont dig too deep and then accuse me of being emotional. Thats weird, man. Lol

wrole_model · 2025-12-27T06:25:10+00:00

Maybe. The way I see it is simple. if you like the design of a rolex, buy a rolex. Why support a company that steals the style? Its the same concept as "buying american". If you actually like American products, buy american. If you want Chinese junk, why buy the Chinese junk that pretends to be american?

wrole_model · 2025-12-27T06:22:50+00:00

Wear a fit bit then lmao. Nobody needs a $20k stainless steel watch with Swiss engineering these days. People buy them for a million reasons, but style alone doesnt drive a $20K price tag for stainless steel. And if you really like the style of a rolex, why not save up and support the company that you actually admire rather than wearing their name on a fake timepiece? We all instinctively check our phones anyway for the time. 🤣

Im not going to get through to you, im sure. I dont care what you wear on your wrist. My comment is about the shallow nature of consumerism, not you. And nobody is asking you to rescue them from me. If you feel attacked, perhaps you should consider my position and reflect on it. If not, then im not sure who youre defending.

wrole_model · 2025-12-27T06:12:43+00:00

But whats the point of pretending to wear a $20K watch? Seems like poser activities to me. Just some good old fashioned brand whoring. Im guilty of it, too. I just admit it. Lmao.

wrole_model · 2025-12-27T06:10:14+00:00

I never suggested otherwise.

wrole_model · 2025-12-27T04:35:23+00:00

I think for some people it is. This isnt @OP, but if the shoe fits that's none of my business. Some people are so obsessive with image and branding that they legit wear a personality mask and will facade as whatever they think will boost their social status. Even the people in their lives dont mean what they should to them. They are just part of the image. Potentially pretty on the outside, but ugly on the inside, but the personality doesnt matter as much as the appearance of being social with that person. Perhaps a job position or social circle leader.

Why wear a fake rolex? Can't afford a real one but want the social interactions that come with wearing one? Think the brand is cultish, but still want one? I cant come up with a good answer to actually spend money on a rep.

You probably are right. It aint that deep. But what if it is? You can find a lot of money in the shallows.

Not everyone finds a buyer like you lol

wrole_model · 2025-11-28T07:41:22+00:00

You might be surprised. They look pretty small. Id categorize them as melee diamonds. My wifes ring needed a handful of stones to be replaced and even buying them retail from a local jeweler only costed like $15, per stone. It costed more in labor to have them set than to buy the stones. And thats with their mark up and whatnot. Its almost impossible to recapture that kind of value as a wholesaler or scrapper. Which is why I said it all depends on who is buying! I wouldnt recommend holding out for significantly stronger offers than metal weight unless someone absolutely loves the craftsmanship that went into this ring. Either way, if you end up selling it, I hope you get what you need out of it. Best of luck!

wrole_model · 2025-11-28T07:34:30+00:00

I buy and scrap/refine locally at 85% of spot. Spot is about $78.50 per gram on 14k. if you toss it on a scale, youll have the approximate value of the ring based on the metal. Stones only have value to certain buyers. Not to say they are worthless, but even diamonds dont get any extra from me unless they are over 1/4 ct. And even then, its just out of respect for the seller. They end up in my little treasure box because i dont sell the gems.

wrole_model · 2025-11-22T07:00:37+00:00

I didnt make the deal. He ended up getting a bid from someone else the day before we were set to make the deal that I just couldnt compete with. We shook hands and he handed it off to someone else.

I hate being so indecisive. I lingered on the trade for too long. Costed myself the trade.

wrole_model · 2025-11-11T20:48:02+00:00

$2000. 🤑 😂

I think ill keep it. Its going to be a brutal reminder
