On 27 October I took my boat in to get the oils changed and
engine
winterized. Also wanted them to check the alternator. Told
them,
Dumfries Marine, that they could take their time as I'd be out
of
town
for a few days.
I got back in town after a trip to NC, and saw no message on
the
machine from them. Didn't worry. Waited another week, but still
had
heard nothing. Finally, around 9 November, I'm thinking they
should
have called, so I call them. No answer. Leave a message.
Next day same thing. I call, no answer, leave message. I did
this
every day that week. I try over the weekend - nothing.
The next week comes and I start by calling them on Monday,
that's 16
Nov. No answer. Tuesday AM I drive to Dumfries to see what the
hell
is
happening. No one around (at about 10:30), no sign on door, no
nothing. My boat is behind the building with a padlock on the
hitch,
but other than that there is no security.
Wednesday I call again, nothing. I drive down Thursday, and
again on
Saturday morning. Nothing. Yesterday AM I call and get a
recording
that the phone's been disconnected. ****.
I call the Dumfries Police. Explain what's happened. They try
to
call
and get the answer machine. The 'disconnected' recording was a
fluke,
or I misdialed. Don't know. The police said they'd check things
out
and get back to me. They also said I might have to take the
matter
to
civil court as they have no report of a crime. I tell them that
as
far
as I'm concerned my boat's been stolen. They never got back to
me.
This morning I rent the biggest bolt cutter the rental place
can
provide. Costs me ten bucks. I'm off to get my damn boat. When
I get
there I see a pickup backed up to the door and a bunch of stuff
loaded
in the back. I try the door and it's open. I yell and someone
replies.
Turns out to be one of the two brothers who run the place.
I ask what the hell's going on. He shrugs, but doesn't answer.
I ask
if they're still in business. Another shrug. Finally I tell him
I
want
my damn boat. He hands me the keys. When I ask him why he
hasn't
called, his response is, "Personal problems."
Anyway, I get my boat and go. Last time I go there for
anything.

It's probably pretty good that you didn't act on getting your
boat
with
the
bolt cutters. Even though it was your boat, you could be charged
with
trespass, breaking/entering, perhaps property damage, and God
knows
what
else.
Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt. John's actions were BY
FAR
the best approach.
To assume that our court system works is to engage in a fool's
errand.
You will spend forever engaged in placating the system and paying
obscene amounts to attorneys.... with unpredictable results, at
best.
When faced with this sort of issue.... a wise individual seeks
forgiveness, NOT permission.....

No problem if you don't mind spending a couple of days in jail
while
they
sort it out, and it's still illegal to damage property, trespass,
etc.
Been there, done that..... by the rules..... (which in hindsight and
with knowledge of the law) was really stupid.
Knowing what I know, now..... and with previous counsel of
attorneys..... John was prepared to take the ONLY sane WISE course
of
action available to him.
Pretend you are the DA.... tell me why you are arresting me for
"stealing" property for which I have a Certificate of Title.
Want to try to make that breaking and entering charge stick without
proof? Try me, I'll have your ass......
Really. John didn't get any information from them telling him not to
take his boat. He just went to grab his boat, that's all.
Nope... Permission needs to be explicit. Not giving permission is
implied by
said lock.

If they file Chapter 7, the boats in the yard can be quickly
returned
to
the owners. If they are torn apart, in the middle of a service, you
are
out of luck and will have to pay someone else to finish the job. If
they
have an account started with you, with a balance, the bankruptcy
court
can attempt to make you pay for the benefit of the trust.

Rob - Been there, different circumstances.

It depends on what you consider to be "quickly". In many cases a
Chapter 7 filing ... voluntary or involuntary ... results in all the
assets
and property (owned by the business or not) being held until the
bankruptcy court
plows through all the records. It can take months.

I had a similar experience to John's a few years back in Florida.
I had a Scout stored at a boat yard storage and repair place.
The bank called a note on them and they were forced into
Chapter 7. There was no direct notice to those of us with boats at
the yard.

Similar to John, I became suspicious when I could no longer contact
them. I took a ride to the yard only to find it locked up with a
steel
gate
that was padlocked. I sat there for a while in my truck and noticed
a
van
pull up, unlock the gate and pulled into the yard. I quickly pulled
up
behind him and entered as well.

The guy in the van got out and started yelling at me that they were
"closed".
By this time the situation was clear in my mind, so I pulled my truck
around
him and backed it up to my boat and trailer. Told him I was taking
my
boat.
He said I couldn't .. they were "bankrupt" and everything in the yard
had
been
frozen by the court.

He ran into the building to call somebody.

Meanwhile, I noticed that the trailer had a flat tire. Another guy
came
out
and helped me put a little air in the tire and he then got the keys
to
the
van
and moved it. Apparently he didn't realize what was going on.

I dragged the boat/trailer out of the yard to the nearest gas station
to
fill up the
tire and then headed home. Checked the local "legal notices" for
the
town
and discovered they were in bankruptcy. Never heard from them again.

Eisboch
That's a scary situation. What would you have done if the police
showed up
before you split?
Nothing?

So, you're a cop. What are you going to charge him with? Theft of his
own property? Breaking? Nope. Entering? Nope, the gate was open.
Trespassing? Nope.... he had a right to be there if he was paid up.

These are civil, not criminal issues. The cops *really* don't want to
deal with this.

Google replevin and detinue. You'll have a much cheaper education in
this than mine....


If the police show up, you better be able to prove it's your boat. If
you
can't immediately, they'll haul your butt in and sort it out there. You
can
call it civil if you want, but the facts on the ground will be your butt
sitting in jail until someone shows up with the pink slip.


You tell him, the assholes in rec.boats are too stupid to bring a valid
ID and their boat registration. They are all morons.
I wonder why you and I hang out with these idiots. Would you like to
get together for a beer and whatever?


Looks like Bad Jim found a temporary way to skirt people ignoring him.

The style is certainly southern Alabama.



I suspected it was him, since it must be too much for him to switch back and
forth between IDs.


Like they say, a piece of work.

I figured possession was nine-tenths and all that. I'd have felt much
better getting hassled about cutting the lock off while the boat was
in *my* driveway.

They would have had the keys, but I could get more made.
In this case, they had possession of the boat - not you. Under
bankruptcy law, they couldn't keep it for too long.

Rob
You Sooooooooo don't get it. While they held the boat, John had to sue
for possession. Once he had regained possession, they had to perfect a
claim on HIS boat.....

Maybe you think they could get the DA to arrest John for "stealing"
his own property, I think not....

You would think wrong then. Well, I'll qualify that and say the police
would
for sure make an arrest if there were witnesses. The DA might drop the
charges, but I wouldn't want to bet on it.
We'll let me assure you this..... having been there? I'll be wrong,
take my chances.... and feel very sure that I'll be fine.....
Now you see why I can pay no attention to her vacuous, space-cadet
responses.

Just state they said to come get your boat. And since the business has a
phone disconnected, and no one was available during normal business hours
or could be contacted, I did what they said to do. Picked up my boat.
They would have to prove you were not told to pick up your own boat. The
DA's have enough cases, they do not want to screw around with this crap.
And also if in Calif, they have to release people from jail to reduce
numbers and cost. You think the DA is going to spend any time or money
on a case like this?


So, you're willing to sit in jail... well, ok. Sure, you'll get out
(maybe) after a hearing. With the docket crowded as it is, I'm sure you'd
get out by February.

You would be out on OR in less than a couple hours. Unless you have a
record as a bad guy and they want you put away.


Jeez. She just doesn't stop, does she. Reckon she's related to the
Energizer Bunny?

You would think wrong then. Well, I'll qualify that and say the police would
for sure make an arrest if there were witnesses. The DA might drop the
charges, but I wouldn't want to bet on it.

Let point to why I think you are wrong:

"In criminal law, theft is the illegal taking of another person's
property without that person's freely-given consent."

Note: NOT " another person's property." Therefore, Not Theft!

The boat wasn't on the street, it was in a locked, private, area.

Rob


No it wasn't. The area it was in was not fenced or locked. It was
behind the back row of a strip mall. That was one of my worries, that
the boat could be pilfered.

I wouldn't have had to break into anything to get it.


Then why the discussion about the bolt cutters and the lock??

Rob


The lock was on the trailer hitch. I'd have had to cut it to hook the
trailer to my 4Runner.

Maybe 'hitch' is the wrong word. I think I should have said 'coupler'
lock. A padlock which prevented me from attaching the trailer to my
vehicle.
