Object
Mansion Drive Supply Trucks (Ted Marcus Fundraiser)
A line of box trucks and panel vans — corrugated metal bodies, roll-up rear doors, and tarped cargo bays — parked on the mansion drive, engines idling. Workers heft wooden crates, fold tenting and stack place-settings into the cargo as ramp gates thud shut. The vehicles hum with loaded suspicion: sealed, utilitarian, and ready to leave; characters react to them as a visible, mobile announcement of a cancelled event.

Purpose
To transport and store catering equipment, furniture, tents, and hospitality supplies needed to set up and break down the Bel Air fundraiser.
Significance
The trucks function as incontrovertible physical proof of the fundraiser's cancellation and become an instrument of political theater—their loading turns absence into leverage, pressuring characters to confront the moral and tactical fallout.
