Phil's '87 Gran Fury is GONE

Not that anyone should be surprised.
Be advised that 1987 Plymouth Gran Fury VIN 1P3BB26P2HX808100
IS A STOLEN VEHICLE.

Sad to hear about Phil. You shouldn't beat yourself too much, you have more than stepped up to help him. It's stressful for you. Phil needs to be someplace where people can take care of him, but if he doesn't want to go, there isn't much anyone can do for him.

Tyler, I am sorry to hear about Uncle Phil. I hope and pray for him and you. I took care of my own family nembers for over 26 years. I hope you find the Gran Fury.I have learned excellent information from your videos for several years. Thanks Garry Wright.

I have met Phil a couple of times with you, he is truly a gentle trusting person. No doubt people without a conscience have taken advantage of him. There is no way you can look out for someone like that enough to keep bad things from happening but maybe there are some things that can be put into place to deter it. In my opinion you have done more than most would to help out and being middle aged and still working a full time job leaves little time and energy to do much else. Sorry to hear about and I can tell you are frustrated. I do believe in Karma and what goes around comes around.

Has the Plymouth Fury been found as of yet?

[@olikat8]

Funny thing? I was given an '89 Gran Fury cop car 2 months ago. Complete, about 100k on it. I have an aunt like your uncle. Ex-biker B, too many years drinking & drugging...

It’s very unfortunate , he seems to have a lot of learned behaviours that will never change. Some of us are the ones that are once bit twice shy. We look 3 steps ahead. Most people these days don’t always have your best interests at heart . I don’t know where the summer has gone, but fall is near. The maple trees are turning red !

Tyler, it appears that Phil is just a hair above one of my wife's cousins. He was at about the same level you described - early to mid teens in mental development. He was able to do some level of work enough to earn a small income but never was able to stay with any job long term. He wound up in a protected living environment until he passed away. It is a sad circumstance that often has no permanent solution. Bystanders can only do so much to help and additional help just evaporates like a boiled pot. We sympathize but cannot provide a permanent solution. Its just so sad!

I have found, with more people I know than not and, for one reason or the other, you just have to either accept people for what they are and be as good as of friend to them as you can or just stay away from those people. You’ll never change them or understand them, but with some people, they are just fun to hang out with and entertaining to know even if you have to “reel in” your expectations of them to avoid getting frustrated, angry, or hurt by them. I think of it as “limited friendships” or simply “friendly acquaintances”.

Hey Tyler! Its been a few months. Had a lot going on with life (grandmother passed away). I hate hearing about Phil and the Fury but can't say I'm surprised. I've been friends with a guy since high school and its kinda the same deal. Nothing you can do for people like that. Sad to say.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Glad to have you back.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

I'm sorry to hear Phil is in the situation he's in. I'm also sorry to hear the Gran Fury was stolen.

[@97redsonoma4]

That's ashame how those people take advantage of Phil. Taking advantage of an elderly person is bad enough, but the fact that he also has a learning disability makes it even worse. I agree with you, he needs to get away from those people. As you said though, you can't force him, learning disability or not, he's a grown man.

[@TheJmich2001]

sorry to hear it, what can you do? I appreciate your content! NJ

[@grstew4]

Why don't you help him??? Joking! I feel for you and for Phil too! We know you care. Amazing he hasn't gotten in trouble with scumbags driving his cars. I wish him the Best!

[@jimmyjimjims7483]

He probably loaned it to a "friend" and this so called friend just took off with it and sold it off for drugs or parts or whatever to get a fix...so sad. She's probably sitting on 22s painted candy apple green outside a liquor store right now

[@MGHSHour]

cool video

[@mikeross58]

Sad situation

[@lukedawg357SIG]

Hate this happened I'm in GA if I see it will let you know.

[@mrmook3001]

it unlikely the police are gonna find it? have local scrapyards been checked?

[@user-ys7uo4fw3h]

I believe you said he is not related to you ?

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Correct

[@michaelcoffey7362]

sad that happed to him

[@Furious1Auto]

I heard Phil stopped driving down restricted roads. He’s now acting within the realm of what’s acceptable. I believe it’s he’s tired. Beaten from many years of hard labor. Having problems finding his motivation after as many hard knocks as he’s taken. The Sorrento was his first car at the age of 18 and like a kid whipped on it. Some of the sources of information I think may be giving bad info. Phil is a good dude, I got faith he’s going to pull through. Many years of doing right and he has taken a bad turn. The 87’ fury is not damaged because Phil knows how to check the oil even when the sensors are unreliable. He’s done driving recklessly because it’s lead nowhere. His problem is he’s too proud to ask for help when it’s needed. He was a good man once and will be again, enough to raise a family and having people depend on him. He was the one that took care of everything once in a home where he got no assistance. You should give some leeway here. It’s not a normal case. For some of the smartest it’s the simple things that allude them. Maybe the characterization of a stop in mental growth is realistic. I just see a man that’s fallen and don’t know how to get back up.

[@Rcknroler913]

You disparage Phil at almost every opportunity. The biggest surprise is he even still talks to you. I assume he doesn’t watch your videos. It seems you care about him and are very good to him while in his presence, but wow, watch out otherwise.😮

[@michaelcook9939]

Tyler really is a good guy at heart. Problem is if you don't do it his way or in a timely enough manner for him he takes offense to it and it just eats at him and not immediately but over time he'll become fed up and befriend you in some way.

[@olikat8]

My youngest aunt (maternal side), is like Phil. My uncle (her brother) passes, it becomes known I am the executor. His wife passed in '17, no kids. Only 3 beneficiaries, me, her, and a cousin from a different aunt. She has not lifted a finger, but certainly has trashed me & my cousin every which way. Me & John have done all the work prepping & selling property off, paperwork, explaining things over & over...even had to involve the attorney twice. But still, she is the victim.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

Rknroler913 Do you know Phil? If so, why haven't you stepped in to help him? If you don't know him, how would you like to be his guardian since you take issue with what other people say or do. You can manage his finances, keep the thieves away, take him to Dr appointments, make sure he takes his meds, all of it. I bet the answer is NO. If you aren't here to help or be supportive, then obviously you're here to WHINE.

[@TylersNeighborhoodGarage]

@@michaelcook9939 and YOU....where the hell have you been for the last 12 years, other than leaving sniping comments on my videos? I haven't unfriended anybody. I put the time and miles in visiting "friends" that never visited me once I moved 20 miles farther away. I offered advice that was never taken. "My way"...? What exactly is wrong with "my way"? "My way" is realizing how much time, money and effort fixing up cars really takes, especially when your heart isn't really in it. You're a good guy at heart also but you brag too much about what you are gonna do before you figure out if you can do any of it. Robbie wanted you to have that Pontiac, against my better judgement. Hopefully I've been wrong this entire time and you restored it and it's beautiful and it's sitting in your garage right now. If that's the case I'll apologize for calling you out but not a day, minute or second before. Good day.

[@Rcknroler913]

Whine? Not really. What I’ve posted is truth and the proof is in your videos. I comment, which you complain about, because you put it out there to be commented on. My point is, I seriously doubt Phil would appreciate you airing his issues on a public platform, especially his alleged mental or developmental issues. No problem getting an update on Phil, but leave it at that unless it is Phil himself that comes on your channel to discuss his private matters.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

That's sad to hear Tyler but like you mentioned, you can only do so much for someone. *They* have to take the next steps. 🔧🔩
