It seems it will be soon enough if the Freaks have any say in the matter..... :twisted:


Awsome job guys, keep at it, Hold him accountable. Can't wait to hear Rodney got his heli back.

-eSmith.

[wingtip]

hate to know the guy died but that sux... better get moving quick as im sure they'll sell everything he had for funeral expenses and any other outstanding debt he had......

[WayneBrown]

In the event that is him, I'll be going through the area this weekend.

Rodney,
Does the hobby shop still have the heli? If it does I would imagine this is going to create another problem now with the person that brought it to the shop now dead. Because there would be no one that could tell the owner of the shop to release the heli to you.
Sorry to hear about anyone's death. But even with him dying, I wouldn't think it would be any easier to get the heli back.
Hope it all works out for you, I know you have worked hard trying to get the heli back that was stolen from you.
David

[Rodney]

Yea I agree David. I dont think I will ever see it again.

[bigrcr]

News flash! :roll:

Not the same guy.

Charles worked for Metromont Materials and was not that old. Sorry for the false alarm. :arggg: :oops:

Later,

[WayneBrown]

Worked, or still works for? Which division? harrassment can be useful.

I know this is an old thread but after reading it now I am curious. Did you ever get the heli back? What happened?

I just got off the phone with Rodney (looking for a crown gear) and he happened to mention that he will be picking this helicopter up shortly from the hobby shop. :D

[WayneBrown]

I go past that particular hobby shop twice a day during my work week.
I have asked about it for the past 6-7 months, and I have offered to transport it also.
The BlackSheep event will see it back in Rodney's hands.

[Rodney]

yea I was told I could get it in July. But that is a long ride. so I will wait until later. Have to check map to see if we can pass it on the way to Ircha. LOL

[Clintstone]

Go thru Statesboro and then onto Agusta and then to Greenville then you just go thru Ashville and rightr up to IRCHA. Good luck Rodney..............

[Rodney]

Well latest update on my missing helicopter. I was told a few months back I could pick it up in july if he still had it and hadnt heard from the theif that stole it from me. Well I planned on going to pick it up on the way to Ircha, but when I called the Hobby Connection and talked to the owner David. He told me that the guy who had it there on consignment called him 2 weeks ago and said he was going to pick it up.
David told me that he told him he would need a copy of his drivers licence to get it. He also told me that the guy gave him a new phone number to reach him at.
Then David told me after I called that he tried to call the number but it was no good. And that I could not pick up the heli as he didnt want any legal problems incase the thief came back to get it. :? :( I really need to vent this before I hunt this guy down and skin his ass alive. Anyone have any dealings with Charles Jackson of Pickens county please let me know where to find him.

[WayneBrown]

I'll talk to David today, in just a few minutes in fact.
I'll hunt this SOB down..

[R-4-L]

i can't believe how long this is taking!! if i were you i'd forget everything and focus on hunting that theif down! GET HIM! :bomb:

[Hotshot Charlie]

Unbelieveable, Rodney !!!! :arggg: :bomb:

It's time to find this clown, and show him what a severe "whoopin'" is all about !

Document everything. I mean sit down at the computer and type out an exhaustive timeline of everything that has happened pertaining to this situation. Gather photos of the machine of you have them, document names, addresses, and phone numbers of every person you've talked to regarding the matter (like the guy in Easley)... document enough material to choke a camel with the paperwork.

I can tell you from personal experience (recent and pending litigation with my former employer) that whoever comes in with the most documentation will have the upper hand. My attorney was impressed that my wife and I have an entire file on the problems with my former employer... dong the same in this case will no doubt help you as well.

Will - for your part, a hard-copy printout from the HF archives of everything pertaining to this transaction will only help.

[ClayK]

Something smells rotten....

So what if the thief called in? Has he come in to take possession? All of this means nothing. It has been identified that the property was fraudulently obtained. Police reports have been filed both in Florida and in South Carolina, correct? The property was placed on consignment a year or so ago. The shop owner recognizes that it's stolen property and has cooperated thus far but is failing to release the property. Sounds like the shop owner is trying to cover his six too hard. I doubt that someone that perpetrated mail fraud, larceny, possession of stolen goods and quite possibly a litany of other illegal acts would bother suing a shop owner for returning those illegally gained possessions back to the rightful owner.

Rodney,
We'll talk at IRCHA. I may not be able to get your helicopter back, but I may have a small solution for you.

...I could not pick up the heli as he didnt want any legal problems incase the thief came back to get it.


I'd suggest to the shop owner that he'll definitely have legal problems if he doesn't let you pick it up. He should be a whole lot more worried about the rightful owner putting the pressure on than the thief applying pressure.

Good luck.

[WayneBrown]

Well here's what I see in this situation. The store owner allows consignment sales which this was to have been. After he was contacted about the possibility of it being fraudulently obtained, he removed it from view, and stored it in the back.
It's been here a long time, but there is no notice that if anything is left over XX days will be sold. That is part of the dillema. The shop owner really wants no part in this, but is concerned about legal repercussions either way.
He will not release it to the person that brought it in without getting a copy of his drivers' license, and apparently the guy doesn't want to be found.
We have two phone numbers for him, both cell phones and its assumed they are/were prepaid jobs.

[Hotshot Charlie]

It's beginning to look like the shop owner may not be on the "level"????

Rodney, I guess you have two options, forget it or press the shop owner..... apparently the scumbag that stole it will never be found.

[WayneBrown]

I'd say the shop owner is straight up, he's just in a situation where he does not know what to do without placing himself in the line fo fire.

[Hotshot Charlie]

Hey Wayne, hope you are doing well. It's been a long time since we chatted.

The only reason I say, shop owner, is that "outside looking in", it just seems fishy that he is not willing to work this thing out. He seems to be dragging his feet for some reason. Just seems weird... and I apologize if my comments are way out of line.... but something isn't right here.

[DavidH]

I worked in a hobby shop for several years. We were involved in a situation like this a couple of times. The shop owner is between a rock and a hard place on this one.

Even thou the shop owner knows the heli belongs to Rodney. If he gives it to Rodney and the person that left it there for consignment comes in and the heli is not there. Then the shop owner will be liable for the heli and have to pay that person what he was asking for the heli. Been there done that in the hobby shop. Not a good feeling for the shop owner when he has paid someone for something he doesn't even have.

I am sure the shop owner wants Rodney to get the heli back. He just has to do it a way that his ass is covered also.
