what makes one think it was a "luxury RV"? They pretty much all look the same from the outside. Have you not seen new campers, 5th wheels and rv's lately? Even the low end models now are what I would consider luxury and much nicer than most hotel rooms. Also you will find a lot of them parked in a lot of rural hospitals. I see no less than about 3-5 of them parked at the one I pass going to see family. I'm not sure if they are hospital staff or patient familiy's, but they have a lot specifically for them to park. Looking at Google Earth, there is one parked in the outer periphery of the hospital, but not sure if it is his or not and can't tell if it is a camper, 5th wheel or motor home.
By your logic, why was his very nice car still in it's spot days later with the keys and his everything still in it in a park? I would think that would have been much more of a target than something parked in a parking lot of a hospital.
I'm wondering the possibility of him maybe meeting somebody at the park for whatever reason, getting in their car and then whatever happened. Pretty sure money and/or drugs were involved in this matter.
Lol. I only used luxury RV once I had heard that far more than once from others and the brother and interviewers. I didn't come up with it myself so that's why I think it, I wouldn't jump to that thought.
I've seen more RVs in the recent years than you maybe have, more so what I'd call campers, a nice new 20', 24' 30 some foot, etc. because one of my daughters actually hauls them and delivers new ones for a living. When she is coming through from one state to another in our area, she will often park her truck and the new camper she is towing at my place or near my mom's place, etc. and spend the night and when I am there or here, I ask to tour them lol.
Yes, they are NICE but they aren't the luxury RVs like it sounds like in this case, but they are just as you are talking campers, that's what they are. Trailers. Something you or I if we wanted to buy new could finance, Very nice. I'd not call them luxury RVs though. I also looked at many a one each new year when we camped. And yes we could have bought one just like people do a new vehicle for how much a month for more years than years ago one could have for payments. Each year of course they get smarter and more up to date with the times and finishes in them. I don't think of them as luxury RVs. They are just new CAMPERS.
Anyhow, enough about that, yes I know the difference and no, I don't think that's what they are talking about or at least the brother was trying to say by calling it luxury.
As to his car, it wasn't parked in some neighborhood in a city, it was parked hidden almost in a refuse area. I don't know the area as you do but have seen the pics.
Brother suspects whoever did that was aware of cameras (parking it) so wouldn't surprise me if any criminal would know too. But then how many are running around there looking for some odd car parked in an odd place no cars ever are...?
Not trying to argue or anything, I'm actually chuckling because again, I didn't call it luxury where I coined the term, i repeated what many others said and I do know very well what new campers these days look like, many models and sizes of them.
I do agree with you he may have been meeting someone and it may well have had to do with drugs, money or someone he made some negotiation with when he was kidnapped (IF all of that can be believed) or to do with the Bitcoin thing...
The other thing is maybe our states and areas and towns and cities differ. A LOT. With all of the deaths in my family and then even after my mom's more recent cancer, and then mine, I have been around way too many hospitals and clinics in many areas and never ever have I seen campers or RVs or spots for them for people camping near the hospital to work there. If I did I am not really sure what I'd think of the place or how much I'd trust it. I've known of nurses that will rent apartments with another nurse who will travel just to work a weekend way out of their own area for bigger dollars by far and medifcal facilities that will pay enough or provide housing to bring on staff.
