Oh Nikki, you have no idea how you have made my heart sing! I lost my Dad this year and he lived outside of Phoenix. Superstition mountain was his playground when he was a kid and we climbed it for his 80th birthday. We will be spreading some of his ashes there. His birthday was just last month, October 30th. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You have impacted me deeply in such a positive way. Thank you 😊🥰
My heat goes out to you Margie! I’m a dr, lost my father to lymphoma in 2002. Not a day goes by that I still don’t miss him. My mom is still with me at age 95 , still driving! Parents are your one unconditional source of love , so life never is the same after that loss. But you have great memories by your statement. Best wishes , and thx for sharing as it gave me a chance to remember dad and his great influence on me , still felt at age 64!
@@NikkiDelventhal Nikki you're amazing and a little crazy and definitely have the best legs I've ever seen. How in a Prius I have no idea. Love your personality.
Positive vibes your ways. My dad has tbi from an accident an he bout passed away on me before my bday this December this year be great full for what you have in life.positive vibes your ways stay jammin in life
Nikki I have been in a similar situation the saving grace for me was the fact I set up a trail cam in the trees next to where I park up and was able to provide the police with photos of the shitbags and their car , I got all my camera gear back and the insurance company paid for the new window and they got what they deserved I hope .
Some people lately are becoming more scumbags. It's sad but these times have a'lot to do with this too. Tough all over, not that that makes what happened to u right by the way it was hella wrong
I just recently watched a video on how to prevent thieves from stealing your stuff while camping. The two good tips I took away from that video were to use these magnetic motion detector lights on your vehicle and motion detector alarms. This would be a good idea for those times when you are on a hike and you are leaving your car with the bike on the back and also your car luggage rack. A small investment to make to protect yourself from thieves. Also you car insurance should cover your loss. Happy camping.
If your bike is always exposed on the bike rack like that, I recommend you get a cable lock. They come in various sizes, usually about 4 ft. long, with a keyed lock on the end. That should be long enough to secure the frame and both wheels to the rack. And start parking backwards everywhere. Love your channel.
It is the challenges in life that keep you determined and dedicated. Never letting adversity get the best of you. Great job Nikki. Cheers as you continue your journey.
The more and more I see her videos, the more I like her. My goodness this lady is gorgeous! A combination of intelligence, cuteness, an amazing psychic with a bit of a potty mouth, and you can't forget the dog. 🥺 What's not to love? 🤍
We need more videos on the dangers of living in your car. Three years ago, my 18 year old daughter quit college and her job to adventure around the USA and paying the bills with a UA-cam channel because so many channels make it look so AMAZING.... She made enough money to pay for gas, food and to do some cool things. She never shared the heartaches and horrors because she was embarrassed. I wish more people talked about how to be safe. My daughter is now a survivor of some of the worst horrors a woman can experience, she is destroyed, penniless and is home starting her recovery. Glad you have a dog!
@@welfaregod612 ? Don't quit your day job! Criticizing people by misunderstanding what they wrote because you don't have the ability to understand basic words is your problem, not mine.
@@genericwatcher2439 I don't think it has anything to do with understanding. If anything it's your understanding that is needing to be adjusted. I can't imagine having an ego so great that it blinds you from understanding. I feel sorry for you. No wonder why your so jealous of everyone around you
I hope your daughter never recovers. I hope that something so bad happens that she is just a recluse forever. She'd worthless anyway. Couldn't even survive living in camper van. Her little brain wasn't strong enough to grasp the idea beyond just the thought
I am building a van myself and about to do all of New Zealand for a year. You give good example of what that life is supposed to be lived like. Good to see how positive and awesome of an experience it is for you!
Moved to Arizona from Missouri 3 years ago and love it here. My 2 chihuahuas love always having sunshine to go outside and do there business in. Keep up the adventures
Sorry about your bike , you were lucky to find parts in these times. I do have one thing to say, it must be great fun to have you and Camper come for a visit 🎊😄🌹❤️🙏
OMG,you tickle me to no end. You are so fun to watch and seeing the enjoyment you get with all of your adventures makes me want to camp/travel. Keep on girlie you are a delite.
A tale of opposites, on one side a scumbag that helps themself to someone's stuff, on the other a great group of folks that go way above and beyond to help you get it back together. And some great friends that opened their house to you guys. Don't let the turds get you down, their lives will always be miserable and full of fear.
As far as the therapy issue goes, It’s probably not a bad idea to get extra input into your life. How often can we spot issues in someone else’s life, but not our own 😊
Enjoy your videos! Sorry about your bike wheel. Appreciate your mention of therapy in this video. I actually am a therapist and love it when I see anyone advocating for it, which also helps de-stigmatize it. I’m in the process of converting a minivan so I can hit the road, hopefully in the spring. Depending on licensure reciprocity issues in various states, I plan to keep providing therapy as I travel! Stay safe!
Love your quirky fun energy, even in the midst of people watching you eat, and getting your gravel bike back wheel stolen. You got this! Would love to do a hike with your little crew one day! Y'all are seriously adventuring in all the best spots! Cheers
Glad you got your bike back in shape, I’m glad that’s all they stole . Arizona looked wonderful camper had a lot of fun . Thanks for the On line therapy info, god bless and stay safe.
I’m so relieved it was just a bike tire I was in suspense the whole episode until I learned what really happened. You’re so awesome just keep on rocking no matter what it’s an inspiration
No you didn’t…. I’ve been a driver for UPS for 32 years this June. We don’t sell our outta service rigs…..ever ever. It’s for insurance purposes and brand protection. You bought something that might have been a delivery vehicle….but it wasn’t an ups vehicle. And btw…we don’t call em trucks….they’re cars. Even the biggest delivery vehicles….they are still called cars. Only exception? Semis. Those are indeed called trucks. 👍
Those of us in successful recovery usually have sponsors, special friends who we talk with regularly. I've also had counseling which is a great assist. Keep up sharing!
Be careful out there! My friend was robbed of his camper and vehicle by gunpoint in AZ. Also, people were trying to get into my car while I'm in it at night in CA. Glad it was just a tire for you!
just have to pull out a bigger gun........They wont actually use theres but i definitely will use mine lol if they shoot they go to jail so they just use it as a scare tactic........Me actuallly using mine would be in self defense. So no hesitation on my end.
It makes me so mad to see someone help themselves to other people's property that they've worked hard for. But you have a great attitude. Honestly, it amazes me that you are so down to earth and humble after all the fame you've had. You're very unique, and I love that you aren't afraid to be silly and have fun! I'm definitely impressed. Hoping to hit the road myself in the spring time. As a bike rider myself, I want to take mine with me when I go as well. I grew up always building and having a bike, and I can't imagine not having one in my life. Enjoy your travels!
Of course you got robbed. What do you expect now? Every neighborhood is a bad neighborhood now. ua-cam.com/play/PL6JjafE5gsb9xbcLDK9FiSPWUkk3CQYNu.html
Ack! So very sorry that happened here in our beautiful state! On the brighter side, looks like you managed to hit quite a variety of trails around the Valley. North Mountain is awesome, as is Piestewa Peak and Camelback...one of the great perks of living here, sunshine and mountain trails galore 😁 Safe travels heading up north, it's beautiful this time of year in Sedona and Flagstaff!
Hi Nikki, being a body builder and a songwriter, those are the things I mostly look for to watch on youtube, however your video showed up on my page just today and when I saw "Got Robbed" in your thumbnail, I felt bad and said to myself "I better watch this one". I feel bad that you got robbed but I'm glad I watched your video. You're such a cool person and funny too. I also liked when you ran to the top of that hill with your dog and the sign said "Paws Up. You Made It Safely". lol that was perfect when your dog walked past it. You also showed some cool showmanship when you were doing your singing and playing air guitar. Showing off your skills. As a musician, I liked it. Great Video Nikki.
Love the channel and positivity. Nice change in the world we are living in now. Camper is awesome and sorry about the theft . Be safe in your travels and God bless.
One solution to the theft problem: Find an old mountain bike in good mechanical condition for a small fraction of what a new bike costs. Less desirable to thieves. Much easier to replace. Durable, reliable, vintage, simple to work on and maintain, fun to ride. Easy to keep inside a vehicle, especially after removing front wheel. You can cover with a blanket so thieves can't see it. And then stay out of high-crime areas.
So sorry that somebody can’t pay for what they want and they have to Steal other peoples stuff it’s a sad world we live in when people are like that but I’m glad you got your bike fixed and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving
Nikki, I found out long ago to secure the frame to the wheels and to the vehicle to prevent a loss, you cannot expect all people to be honest unfortunately, love your real videos .I am a solo camper as well but new and have not been out with the rig much yet
As a rather frequent Walmart camper I've woken up to cops, street sweepers, carts being pushed into my van and even a homeless guy taking a #2. Why can't I wake up, open the sliding door on the van and see "People of Walmart" Nikki rocking black socks, sandals and a tie dye cutoff? =)
@Anonymous Person Maybe slightly. but they're only doing their jobs. I've been asked to leave Walmart stores a few times by both security guards and police. I travel in Florida during the Winter and most Walmart stores there don't allow overnight parking anymore. If there's no other good option I'll try to stay unnoticed, but in a huge white van that doesn't always work out.
Your safety and you folks not getting robbed is why I would always post your videos a month AFTER you have gone through the area. I can't stand a thief, I wish they would get caught every time. Please be safe in all of your travels.
Love your videos, I've been watching some others but think you are the most real, funny and natural. I rescue animals and am so glad you found and kept Camper, he might have died out there. Someone may have dumped him, such a sweet dog. Be safe, I subscribed for the first time ever. I'm older but hope to get on the road when I retire. Love your energy. God bess
Love the videos and living vicariously thru your adventures and travails! Keep doin’ what you’re doin’ if you’re happy, your fans certainly are as well!
Even after being robbed ur still smiling, joking, laughing, and being true to yourself. The thief may have gotten ur bike parts, but they can't take away that amazing spirit of yours!! And just remember, karma is real and she will visit them with a vengeance. Stay safe and well out there my friend!! Sending quadruple hugs you and Camp! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@NikkiDelventhal Camper is so sweet, you guys go walking in some rough terrain, how do you deal with paw injuries? ps- bout to sell my BIG ol house and start a new chap in my life, considering this way of life and was scared until I saw your video
It's great you take a week off regularly to relax, and as you say "just live life" 👏👏. Camper going crazy on the bed😂. Sorry for your robbery😔. Glad you got your bike fixed x.
@@Dman425 She takes a week off every month. So if she's not stepping out on her subscribers and working on the side. Maybe that's her social time I don't know I'm just passing by due to the ol algorithm hit job from watching one of Mav's videos
I totally agree with your perspective on seeing a therapist and living your life now versus that hope that you will be able to soon. I’m just under 4 years from retirement and trying to still live a lot and have experiences building up to the freedom to roam upon retirement…and not 20 mores years. Your channel and “Sailing Dauntless” have been very inspiring.
thanx for all the work, i just take still shots and the deleting, cropping, colors etc takes forever but when my memories pop up on FB or sharing with my hatchlings & friends makes it fun... but you take it to a whole new level... thanx so much
Another top video....Full of everything we love :) It's so intrusive when some lowlife steals your stuff Nikki i know. It's not so much WHAT'S been stolen. Although it does sucks, it can be replaced.......It's the horrible feeling knowing somebody has been around your personal belongings with their filthy hands, It's a real invasion of your privacy and so personal!!! I'm so glad they didn't actually get into your car babe......that would've been unbearable for you! They can't keep you down for long though, you bounced back as fab as ever :) Keep them videos coming girl xoxo
Wow!!! She was there one night, the lady said "Don't move here" and sold the bed!!! The lady of the house was sending out a STRONG message!!! #DontLiveHere!!! #GoLiveSomewhereElse!!!
Right! Wtf! Who does that? I thought that was even sadder than the bike wheel theft. Maybe she saw Camper jumping on the bed? Lol Idk what the deal actually was, but I think I would have ended the visit at that point.
Love the videos Nikki, keep it up. I have a mini van and drive all over. I deliver pets and small items I can fit in my van for Uship so it's a way to make money while I am traveling . Love this life.
Nikki is very lucky she hasn't had her catalytic converter pinched. The ones on the Prius are a very sophisticated piece of equipment because the engine doesn't run as much and the cats have to operate effectively at a lower temperature than a typical car. Where they are is very accessible as well. So many people I know have had their converters pinched in the last few months.
@@zoidberg444 I think in one of her other videos she addressed that. She got some kind of catalytic converter shield that bolts on. I believed they even sponsor that video and viewers could get it also with a discount.
If you were to give video footage to the police in my city they would take it and laugh at you as you walked out the door. They're so understaffed they can't keep up with the homicides.
@@MrJeff1256 We are lucky, we live in a Republican State and don't have such problems, all crimes are treated with diligence and our State has a lot less crime.
@@docbrown6550 Sorry to destroy your anti-democratic narrative, but Arizona is a republican-run state -all branches of government controlled by republicans. New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, Birmingham, Mobile, Houston - al crime-ridden cities in states run by republicans.
Appeal to everyone- anytime you have something stolen, report it to the police, and try to file a report. They are unlikely to find your stolen item but it helps keep the statistics right. In a town where I used to live, you could not leave a bike LOCKED UP on the street for more than about an hour before it would be gone, even with the best locks made. But police claimed theft was very low in the area. The reason was simple- people knew they would not get their bikes back by calling the police, so everyone just stopped calling. Thus stats showed very few stolen. BTW- I personally had 5 bikes stolen there, with every kind of titanium, kryptonite, and cable lock imaginable on them.
Super awesome to see Kamper comming into his true potential. One more year he will become the kindest and most protective dog a woman needs, sorry about the wheel ill bring it back when im done..lol
Camper is so adorable. I use to dress up the puppy I adopted back then. I would go to Pet places looking for different outfits and my puppy would be like uh-no I have to wear clothes again. I couldn't help myself. lol
Classic music serenade, several carrot-chomping seshes, and being creepily watched as she eats her salad. Yep, definitely a Nikki Delventhal vid. 😁😁😁 P.S. - glad you got your wheel back.
You guys had me cracking up in this installment (first half)! So fun to watch (the opening scene was certainly intriguing, for sure). However, the theft was depressing and sad to watch. Seems to happen to the good folks and you didn't deserve that. That sucks. You are a resilient person and will bounce back but obviously, it's no good, and feels awful to have this happen for sure. 😢You and Camper stay safe. (Just gotta say: The last scene was hilarious - great attitude!)
Came upon your Channel. Your sense of humor is second to none, good brain medicine I say! Hopefully after the months wait, your 'gravel bike' became fully operational and eat'n gravel! Stay happy, healthy and safe on your treks! Best to you and your fellow 'Road Warrior'! Cheers!
I think it’s great that you live in your car. By doing so you reject the ridiculously expensive rental costs greedy landlords are now demanding. More people should do this. I hope you stay safe.
So sorry about your bike, Nikki-to think of all the random places you’ve parked and it get stolen at your cousin’s house!! My daughter had the back wheel of her then brand--new bike stole right in front of her college dorm with the lock still attached!! She was soooo angry-and those wheels are expensive to replace. People can be so low sometimes🥲🥲🥲
I wish I could have ran into you in AZ, I was there briefly in early November I have a friend that l lives by the Superstitions, I used to live in the White Mountains, I look forward to moving back west when the universe opens the way. My husband converted my subaru into a car camper for me, it was awesome (I currently am stuck living in Florida, I would take the desert any day). There's so many pretty areas there! You inspire me, I wish I had your guts when I was younger, I do now but they are generally shorter trips. Blessings to you
I enjoyed your adventures in Arizona Nikki & the 🦂 are cool. You always make the most awesome 👌 videos ! People are stealing anything 😒 these days because they are losers 🙄 - You are a winner 😃
So sorry a no good thief took your wheel. Thieves ought to have their balls cut off. As you can imagine from my comment I hate thieves. You took it in stride though. Wishing you safe travels. 😊
People never cease to amaze me with how they justify in their heads behavior as abysmal as that. I just don't get. What do you tell yourself to justify stealing someone elses property in that manner? Is it life or death for you?
If I am parking with an exposed bike I prefer to wrap it with a polyethylene tarp and rope. Removing the visuals makes it less of an identifiable target, I believe. I do the same thing if I'm locking the bike for an extended time in any area I consider to be higher theft risk than my usual haunts. I believe it works better than having an uncovered, fully visible bike.
As others have mentioned, "Welcome to Phoenix". 24 hours of police sirens should be an audible deterrent. 2nd is a handy 12 guage within arm's reach. Take it from a truck driver. Lock it up or lose it.
Con usted he conocido lugares de EEUU ,que ni siquiera en películas había visto .nunca he viajado a su país. Básicamente solo quería felicitarle por ese sinfín de aventuras con Camper. Envidio mucho su determinación y espíritu de aventura,Dios le guarde de todo peligro, bendiciones.

Rear wheels are more expensive than the front. If you only have one lock I'd recommend locking up the rear to the bike instead of the front
I have 5 locks 😂🤦🏻♀️ at least we make it a pain in the 🍑 to steal from us! Hahahah
What sense does it make to steal one wheel???? Sheesh
The theif can't ride it.
Add a cable to run through both tires, seat etc, and lock it to a strong point on the rack or car.
That's the best way to live. No worries, without boundaries and borders. Living wild and free. You're awesome Nikki 🙏☺️
So sorry about your bike. Damn that pisses me off and it wasn't even mine. But people that steal things.. are a waste of AIR. ! 😠

Hi Nikki, being a body builder and a songwriter, those are the things I mostly look for to watch on youtube, however your video showed up on my page just today and when I saw "Got Robbed" in your thumbnail, I felt bad and said to myself "I better watch this one". I feel bad that you got robbed but I'm glad I watched your video. You're such a cool person and funny too. I also liked when you ran to the top of that hill with your dog and the sign said "Paws Up. You Made It Safely". lol that was perfect when your dog walked past it. You also showed some cool showmanship when you were doing your singing and playing air guitar. Showing off your skills. As a musician, I liked it. Great Video Nikki.
Love the channel and positivity. Nice change in the world we are living in now. Camper is awesome and sorry about the theft . Be safe in your travels and God bless.
One solution to the theft problem: Find an old mountain bike in good mechanical condition for a small fraction of what a new bike costs. Less desirable to thieves. Much easier to replace. Durable, reliable, vintage, simple to work on and maintain, fun to ride.
Easy to keep inside a vehicle, especially after removing front wheel. You can cover with a blanket so thieves can't see it.
And then stay out of high-crime areas.
So sorry that somebody can’t pay for what they want and they have to Steal other peoples stuff it’s a sad world we live in when people are like that but I’m glad you got your bike fixed and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!❤️

Did you see how the democrat cities are legalizing stealing?
Even worse… they are stealing from the homeless…
This woman needs to grow up n find a man, get married n start a family.
Does the UA-cam income fully support you and your dog? How do you do it? I’m amazed and you are brave and an inspiration .
Nikki, I found out long ago to secure the frame to the wheels and to the vehicle to prevent a loss, you cannot expect all people to be honest unfortunately, love your real videos .I am a solo camper as well but new and have not been out with the rig much yet
Really sorry about getting robbed. It sucks. Love your content. Glad you are keeping your chin up moving forward. Stay positive.
As a rather frequent Walmart camper I've woken up to cops, street sweepers, carts being pushed into my van and even a homeless guy taking a #2. Why can't I wake up, open the sliding door on the van and see "People of Walmart" Nikki rocking black socks, sandals and a tie dye cutoff? =)
@Anonymous Person Maybe slightly. but they're only doing their jobs. I've been asked to leave Walmart stores a few times by both security guards and police. I travel in Florida during the Winter and most Walmart stores there don't allow overnight parking anymore. If there's no other good option I'll try to stay unnoticed, but in a huge white van that doesn't always work out.
What I hate most is the amount of time, travel and effort required to get a replacement part just because of a lowlife thief.
Nothing insane that happens in Arizona is surprising to me.
What a lucky dog! He has seen the most beautiful walks a good boy could see and lives the life of a king, What a life.
Your safety and you folks not getting robbed is why I would always post your videos a month AFTER you have gone through the area. I can't stand a thief, I wish they would get caught every time. Please be safe in all of your travels.
Not everyone in Phoenix is like that. Glad your OK. Love your singing. Your dog is do cute too.
Phoenix full of Bums .
Phoenix full of Bums .
Brazil's reality: can we have a lock for both tires, for the seat, for... what else can we lock? Oh my... Sending love to both of you!
I came here to for your zaniness and honestly to live vicariously through you,
I stay for the Carrot 🥕 Chomping!
Love your videos, I've been watching some others but think you are the most real, funny and natural. I rescue animals and am so glad you found and kept Camper, he might have died out there. Someone may have dumped him, such a sweet dog. Be safe, I subscribed for the first time ever.
I'm older but hope to get on the road when I retire. Love your energy. God bess
Love the videos and living vicariously thru your adventures and travails! Keep doin’ what you’re doin’ if you’re happy, your fans certainly are as well!
Your spirit and smile even through tough times is admirable...
❤ 🐕 Camper having the zoomies in the room and jumping on the bed 🛏 ... could watch on repeat. And UGH! I'm SO sorry about the bike wheel thief.

Welcome to Phoenix where Tweakers need your bike more than you do
It was probably methany. She likes to take stuff
Nah it was me !!! Lol🖕🤣
Tweekers=losers
Djk34💘💝💖🥰😘 are you single how old you are
@@djkreigline2760 I'm a celibate monk. Fuck off
Even after being robbed ur still smiling, joking, laughing, and being true to yourself. The thief may have gotten ur bike parts, but they can't take away that amazing spirit of yours!! And just remember, karma is real and she will visit them with a vengeance. Stay safe and well out there my friend!! Sending quadruple hugs you and Camp! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Allllll the hugs back!!!!!! ❤️🤗
And at night she lays there alone wondering....
@@NikkiDelventhal Camper is so sweet, you guys go walking in some rough terrain, how do you deal with paw injuries? ps- bout to sell my BIG ol house and start a new chap in my life, considering this way of life and was scared until I saw your video
@@NikkiDelventhal Hey stay safe also I got a ?
@Kahlia Blackwell I got a ?
Great example of focusing on the positive during negative situations. Thanks!!!
Nikki you are so brave. Your dog is such a good dog.Be safe and watch your surroundings.
It's great you take a week off regularly to relax, and as you say "just live life" 👏👏. Camper going crazy on the bed😂.
Sorry for your robbery😔. Glad you got your bike fixed x.
This is a marriageable woman with humour and style, easy to like! Even her concussion is amusing, much love Nikki 💘👍🇬🇧
I would propose to her in our 2nd date at the latest!
That’s cute George but I believe you’re way too old for her.
@@gregoryvierra6114 Alas, so true!
@Paul Gwyn as far as we know. I would be willing to bet she has been on some dates while traveling
@@Dman425 She takes a week off every month. So if she's not stepping out on her subscribers and working on the side. Maybe that's her social time I don't know I'm just passing by due to the ol algorithm hit job from watching one of Mav's videos
Be careful, rattlesnakes in them their hills. Especially with a dog.
I totally agree with your perspective on seeing a therapist and living your life now versus that hope that you will be able to soon. I’m just under 4 years from retirement and trying to still live a lot and have experiences building up to the freedom to roam upon retirement…and not 20 mores years. Your channel and “Sailing Dauntless” have been very inspiring.
thanx for all the work, i just take still shots and the deleting, cropping, colors etc takes forever but when my memories pop up on FB or sharing with my hatchlings & friends makes it fun... but you take it to a whole new level... thanx so much
the only thing worse than a thief is someone that hurts kids
Well said
And animals.
Be sure to change the oil and oil filter regularly. Every 5,000 miles. Keep track of it!
And rotate the tires every 5,000 miles too.
Another top video....Full of everything we love :)
It's so intrusive when some lowlife steals your stuff Nikki i know.
It's not so much WHAT'S been stolen. Although it does sucks, it can be replaced.......It's the horrible feeling knowing somebody has been around your personal belongings with their filthy hands, It's a real invasion of your privacy and so personal!!!
I'm so glad they didn't actually get into your car babe......that would've been unbearable for you!
They can't keep you down for long though, you bounced back as fab as ever :)
Keep them videos coming girl xoxo
Camper’s commentary is hilarious! Haha
Give this girl a like just got to the effort she's put into the videos the insight she's giving us into her life.
Wow!!! She was there one night, the lady said "Don't move here" and sold the bed!!! The lady of the house was sending out a STRONG message!!!
#DontLiveHere!!!
#GoLiveSomewhereElse!!!
Right! Wtf! Who does that? I thought that was even sadder than the bike wheel theft.
Maybe she saw Camper jumping on the bed? Lol
Idk what the deal actually was, but I think I would have ended the visit at that point.
Love the videos Nikki, keep it up. I have a mini van and drive all over. I deliver pets and small items I can fit in my van for Uship so it's a way to make money while I am traveling . Love this life.
So happy it wasn't your Prius they got in too. Be safe Nikki, and thank you for all your hard work. Wait patiently for all your posts.
Nikki is very lucky she hasn't had her catalytic converter pinched. The ones on the Prius are a very sophisticated piece of equipment because the engine doesn't run as much and the cats have to operate effectively at a lower temperature than a typical car. Where they are is very accessible as well. So many people I know have had their converters pinched in the last few months.
@@zoidberg444 I think in one of her other videos she addressed that. She got some kind of catalytic converter shield that bolts on. I believed they even sponsor that video and viewers could get it also with a discount.
@@jt-rex6972 Well that's good. Won't stop a determined thief but may make a chancer think twice and find something easier to pinch.
I moved to Phonix and purchased 10 houses with Ibuyer. I love this place.
And people say I'm paranoid cuz I put a chain around both tires of my expensive bicycle
If the neighbors have security cameras they should have the evidence on them stealing the bike wheel.
If you were to give video footage to the police in my city they would take it and laugh at you as you walked out the door. They're so understaffed they can't keep up with the homicides.
@@MrJeff1256 We are lucky, we live in a Republican State and don't have such problems, all crimes are treated with diligence and our State has a lot less crime.
@@docbrown6550 I need to move to this place that treats all crimes with diligence.
@@BillySBC Sorry to bring this up but Democrat run States have crime that is out of control, again sorry to bring that up.
@@docbrown6550 Sorry to destroy your anti-democratic narrative, but Arizona is a republican-run state -all branches of government controlled by republicans. New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, Birmingham, Mobile, Houston - al crime-ridden cities in states run by republicans.
Appeal to everyone- anytime you have something stolen, report it to the police, and try to file a report. They are unlikely to find your stolen item but it helps keep the statistics right. In a town where I used to live, you could not leave a bike LOCKED UP on the street for more than about an hour before it would be gone, even with the best locks made. But police claimed theft was very low in the area. The reason was simple- people knew they would not get their bikes back by calling the police, so everyone just stopped calling. Thus stats showed very few stolen. BTW- I personally had 5 bikes stolen there, with every kind of titanium, kryptonite, and cable lock imaginable on them.
Hope you don't mind my asking where the bikes got stolen?
@@viveviveka2651 New Bern, NC.
@@nedkelly2035 Seats with say a 90 pound pressure switch and a spring loaded projectile coming up the seat post would stop 1 criminal at a time.
Super awesome to see Kamper comming into his true potential. One more year he will become the kindest and most protective dog a woman needs, sorry about the wheel ill bring it back when im done..lol
You are hilarious. Love your comments, sidebars, 'internal dialogue', and singing and general goofiness.
Camper is so adorable. I use to dress up the puppy I adopted back then. I would go to Pet places looking for different outfits and my puppy would be like uh-no I have to wear clothes again. I couldn't help myself. lol
You're a dream woman, Nikki. Tough, brave, intelligent and naturally gorgeous! 😍 Remember: be mindful of safety and security.
Classic music serenade, several carrot-chomping seshes, and being creepily watched as she eats her salad. Yep, definitely a Nikki Delventhal vid. 😁😁😁 P.S. - glad you got your wheel back.
❔As in the stolen wheel or as in replaced ❔
You guys had me cracking up in this installment (first half)! So fun to watch (the opening scene was certainly intriguing, for sure). However, the theft was depressing and sad to watch. Seems to happen to the good folks and you didn't deserve that. That sucks. You are a resilient person and will bounce back but obviously, it's no good, and feels awful to have this happen for sure. 😢You and Camper stay safe. (Just gotta say: The last scene was hilarious - great attitude!)
What really stinks is when you see the theives with your belongings, and the cops still do nothing....
Came upon your Channel. Your sense of humor is second to none, good brain medicine I say! Hopefully after the months wait, your 'gravel bike' became fully operational and eat'n gravel! Stay happy, healthy and safe on your treks! Best to you and your fellow 'Road Warrior'! Cheers!
so pumped i found this channel. Id love to do this. It's my and my dog, corporate America is just getting so stale.
I think it’s great that you live in your car. By doing so you reject the ridiculously expensive rental costs greedy landlords are now demanding. More people should do this. I hope you stay safe.
So sorry about your bike, Nikki-to think of all the random places you’ve parked and it get stolen at your cousin’s house!!
My daughter had the back wheel of her then brand--new bike stole right in front of her college dorm with the lock still attached!! She was soooo angry-and those wheels are expensive to replace.
People can be so low sometimes🥲🥲🥲
I wish I could have ran into you in AZ, I was there briefly in early November I have a friend that l lives by the Superstitions, I used to live in the White Mountains, I look forward to moving back west when the universe opens the way. My husband converted my subaru into a car camper for me, it was awesome (I currently am stuck living in Florida, I would take the desert any day). There's so many pretty areas there! You inspire me, I wish I had your guts when I was younger, I do now but they are generally shorter trips. Blessings to you
Your dog is so cute and such a good friend and traveler!😃
I always wanted to drive and explore places with my dog, feels so good watching your videos and cute camper!!
I enjoyed your adventures in Arizona Nikki & the 🦂 are cool. You always make the most awesome 👌 videos ! People are stealing anything 😒 these days because they are losers 🙄 - You are a winner 😃
So sorry a no good thief took your wheel. Thieves ought to have their balls cut off. As you can imagine from my comment I hate thieves. You took it in stride though. Wishing you safe travels. 😊
People never cease to amaze me with how they justify in their heads behavior as abysmal as that. I just don't get. What do you tell yourself to justify stealing someone elses property in that manner? Is it life or death for you?
"I can get away with stealing this, so I'll steal it. I won't get caught. Free stuff!" is pretty much all there is to it.
What beautiful scenery Nikki and Camper...I am so happy you were able to get the correct parts of your bicycle 🚲🚲
Whoa the energy levels and enthusiasm you exude! Bravo! Great content!
Thank you!!!
What you're doing is so incredible.
If I am parking with an exposed bike I prefer to wrap it with a polyethylene tarp and rope. Removing the visuals makes it less of an identifiable target, I believe. I do the same thing if I'm locking the bike for an extended time in any area I consider to be higher theft risk than my usual haunts. I believe it works better than having an uncovered, fully visible bike.
As others have mentioned, "Welcome to Phoenix". 24 hours of police sirens should be an audible deterrent. 2nd is a handy 12 guage within arm's reach.
Take it from a truck driver. Lock it up or lose it.
Con usted he conocido lugares de EEUU ,que ni siquiera en películas había visto .nunca he viajado a su país.
Básicamente solo quería felicitarle por ese sinfín de aventuras con Camper.
Envidio mucho su determinación y espíritu de aventura,Dios le guarde de todo peligro, bendiciones.
Hi just discovered your channel. You are life inspiring as well as a beautiful person. Keep enjoying and living your best life. Your channel and posts make a difference 😁
