Kudos to West Grey Police

Just got home with the RTV on the float. All the serial/VIN numbers have been removed and it has been painted mat black LOL. I am OCD about maintenance records which was helpful in proving it was mine and getting it released. Over the phone i was able to tell cops make, model and size/profile of the tires on the unit, make and model of the battery, and the location and size/shape of 2 dents in the roof that my son put on the unit 5 years ago. Was also able to give them the exact hours on it when i last saw it 9 days ago. That was more than enough for the cops regardless of no serial/VIN number. I also had the original bill of sale from 2009 confirming model.

So on Monday i will take it to the dealer and have them do a once over to make sure there is no hidden damage. It started fine and drove onto the trailer fine so not too worried.

That's always my fear if a vehicle or something if mine were stolen - getting it back in that condition. It's pretty funny the tricks they use to "fool" the law.

Deer camp is in 82a NW of Flesherton.

ah yup. i hunt 81a on a massive farm , also have a uncle who has a property in dundalk and another one who has a property in southgate 82a.

stay safe man, these guys have been doing this crap for years, and i dont think its just a few guys, i think its a whole organization.
place i hunt on recently has been getting more and more trespassers. and im not just talking about guys walking through the bush to go hunt. literally guys in their pickup trucks driving through fields and parking their trucks doing who knows what inside.

Good to hear you recovered your stuff but it’s sad that people do this and reck a good thing

[Articcat]

Glad to hear you got everything back and the police were able to help you so quickly, what shame some people just don't care

[fratri]

Glad you got your stuff back but man, that has to suck.... Low lives for sure..... Some people suck

[Frenchie]

I too am glad that your property was recovered. Great work by your local Police Service. Too often the Cops get a bad rap because of the odd bad apple. It's not good that you have criminals as neighbours....but hopefully they won't venture onto your property again.

Wondering if you can share the exact location where they found your staff. Also names of individuals who did it. I'm located between Markdale and Fleshertone at west so appreciate if you can share that, or is this published somewhere? Hope somebody will do it. The people who did this have to be "marked" by society.

The courts figure everybody has insurance so therefore no real problem. We have also got to remember they have 57,000 lawyers to keep at work and at least several thousand are criminal lawyers.

Insurance or not the insurance company's are putting the pressure on the consumers. Hot ticket vehicles some insurance company will increase on certain vehicles like the ram unless you air tag them. They want you to go buy a tracking service so your insurance doesn't go up lol. Partners helping Partners and the consumer pays the price from the criminals.

Anyway about the lawers they don't set the terms. They just defend the client's. More criminals need to punished by law .

Glad you got your stuff back Species. As you know I live just north of your property. If it isn't nailed down in West Grey it'll walk. I had a neighbor lose 9 lambs two summers ago.
