The story is just popping up on my iPad Monday, July 26, 2021. This is a great story I’m glad you got your motors back. I had a 5000 pound Sea container stolen from me it was at an auction site where I bought it frozen to the ground. It was stolen by a fire department about 15 or 20 miles away. I offered a reward more than the value of the container and sure enough Shazam, someone turned them in. I recovered the sea container and part of the thieves was a supervisor for the township and was the assistant chief and he lied about it and so did the person who stole it who was a fireman. A reward is a wonderful thing. Seven members of the fire department resigned as a result of this.

[@patmcbride9853]

My Dad had an auger for his tractor stolen by some firefighters. They probably wouldn't have been caught but they had a fight and one of them ratted the other one out to the cops.

[@yt650]

holy crap that sounds like an interesting story, please write it up with more details! or better yet make a video!

[@yt650]

@@knuthamsun6106 It’s too late to make a video and you know most of the facts but there’s no question do you have to keep an eye on fire departments. Again not all of them, just the ones that have been caught doing underhanded things and these people did underhanded stuff. It cost $1300 to have the container sandblasted and painted after they painted some crummy black paint over the numbers. Then they decided to white wash it. The firemen that stole the container is now the president of the fire company. I got letters from the lawyers for the fire department and lawyers for the board of supervisors and I made all that information public on the website that doesn’t exist any longer. The lawyers found out they were messing with the wrong guy because I had a police report and everything I said was the truth. I even caught the attorneys for the supervisors and the fire company sharing information to hide what they did. If I would’ve known more about KZbin at the time and how to post videos I would have done it.

[@yt650]

@@knuthamsun6106 I forgot to add that they offered me a settlement but I had to agree to non-disclosure and I wouldn’t do that. So I beat them over the head with it every time I get a chance. I donate to supervisors running against the crook that was the assistant Fire Chief.

This thief needs to become a big problem for that little town. The locals know what he does and they don’t care so make them share the misery he is causing. Someone is making $$$’s selling property to lowlifes to make a trashy town. However there isn’t anything new about local small town thief’s being tolerated as long as they do their dirty work elsewhere.

[@bul166]

@@trep53 that’s right. Often the problem is SO many people would rather not get involved. They take the attitude of “well, none of my business “. This is one of the reasons our communities are crumbling, because there is NO sense of community & looking out for each other. “You lie, cheat, steal, I cannot tolerate you”, needs to be taught & enforced.
