The pickup that I was driving in connection with my rental management job was missing its back window. I didn't know how much it would cost but I knew something would have to be done before winter. The owner had kind of washed her hands of it and I knew it was up to me.

One day a friend and I were at a rural garage sale- when we got back to the pickup with our goodies a man was standing there. I have an extra Toyota pickup window I think will fit this one, he said. He lived about a mile away. My friend and I followed him to his home and while we stood there, he removed the window from a junker he was having hauled away and put it in the back of my pickup.

I paid him $25 for his work, thanked him profusely and drove away. Paid another $25 to my friend's son to put the window in and I was set for winter.
