Wanna ride tommorrow am?
2 Sheriffs showed up on my doorstep this morning and wanted to take a Super Jet away that I just bought and registered from a dude in San Diego. I thought the ski was legit because it came with all title and paperwork. Luckily i was out riding so i didn't have to talk to the sheriff and just my wife had to deal with them and she calls me up frantic like i'm going to jail . So, I called up my CHP buddy and he looked up the hull id and no DOJ or DMV stop was connected with the ski so i started to get mad that this sheriff was trying to take my stuff that shows legit in the dmv system.
Then the Sheriff called me up and said that the guy i bought it from forged the signature on a duplicate title request and that is how he was able to sell the ski with the title. So i said, what's going to happen to my ski, and the sheriff said,"well, sorry, its going back to the owner that reported it stolen."
So, i said i have about $3k into the ski of my own parts and he said i could take all of my parts out but i had to do it tonite cuz the tow truck is coming tommorrow morning to take it away. So i was planning on doing an all nighter and taking all my stuff off.
Then the Sheriff calls me back an hour later and says that the guy i bought it from DID NOT steal it and that really what happened was that the guy that reported it stolen wasn't making his payments and so the ski got reposessed. But he still reported it stolen and so the guy i bought it from bought it at auction or from the bank or something legit and so he's not going to jail now. So now i just have to wait to see if i get to keep it or if i'm out $2500.
