I'm absolutely sick!!!

[struggle]

Great turn in the end that you followed up on the lead and it worked out in your favor in the end to get the saw back.

It is really to bad that this played out like it did and your gut feeling on how to handle it the way to go.

Whether you chose to turn the guy in or not is your business not ours. It sucks that there are people out there that try to move themselves forward on other peoples dime by stealing things they know do not belong to them but often I we forget we are not perfect ourselves............maybe not to the degree like this guy was but we have to pick our battles carefully and sometimes look at ourselves in the mirror from time to time as well when pointing out how bad someone else might be.

Great ending

Glad to hear you got your dad's saw back unharmed. After this story, it deserves a new nickname. I'm sure some members will help you out, if you can't come up with one on your own.

Sounds like you owe the 20-something guy a favor or two. He didn't have to call the other guy and get the saw back.

Rep to you for doing the right thing, in the right way!

Great story man, glad your dad got his saw back.

We called the deputy sherrif and told him of the new suspect while setting there watching the trailer. He took the info and just told us to call the local police if we saw the chainsaw. I told the business owner that the police had his info and he had no problem with that. We've not yet called and updated them that we got the saw back. We'll likely do that tomorrow. If they want us to do so, we will press charges. It's only the right thing to do. This was a felony, not a little misdemeanor, not something to sneeze at.

I have a VERY strong feeling that "justice" was served upon our departure. At a minimum, he said he was going to fire the guy. He had no use for a thief working for his company. I wouldn't want to be in his crew leader's shoes either. He was highly upset with him as well, since he was there when it was taken. As far as the legal system, we'll have to wait and see what the sherrif says.

Working gets in the way of living.

See what a little hard work and a hummingbird personality can accomplish!!!

Great news on getting that saw back for your Dad........and you!!!

If I owned that company, all three of the guys in that truck would be in the unemployment line Monday morning!
The thief, the crew leader and the other one for letting it happen and not saying anything. In my opinion they are all equally culpable.

Call the saw
"Homer"
Because it is back home where it belongs......hopefully to stay!!!

You got that right man. They were all responsible IMO. I'd press it all the way. I can't stand a theif. You can make any excuse you want: being broke, out of work, whatever. Stealing another man's property is a big NO NO in my book.
Like Mopar said, they all knew what was going on and that saw should have never been lifted. It makes me very angry thinking about it, and it's not even my saw. :msp_mad:

On the bright side, glad you got it back. It's a sick feeling having a saw or anything valuable stolen. I don't know if y'all remember my 660 being took a year or so ago. I had a thread on it here also. I tracked it down the same day and it happened to be a so called friend who took it from the back of my truck and was in the process of selling it when I pulled into their driveway. And I only hit the guy once. If he had not fell the first time, I may have hit him again though. :msp_biggrin:

 

[dingeryote]

Outstanding Outcome!!
Didn't even have to use the Ball Gag, Fence Pliers, Draino, and blow torch!

Good ta hear it.

I am wondering though.
Is it possible to "Chip" a saw with a GPS locator?

Stay safe!

Zzzzzzzzzzz.....

I'm just laughing thinking about how Brad is probably snoring up a storm right now following that major-league adrenaline letdown. He's been all wound up planning what to do for how long now? This is gonna be one deep sleep--here's wishing you lots of pleasant dreams about this happy ending!

We have a hot new lead. About 1:30 in the morning, (neighbors) wife remembered that a guy had come to the door asking about removing the tree stumps. She was eating breakfast at the time so didn't see him drive up. Turns out the guy left his business card. I've got his name, address, phone number, and a description of what he looks like.

Sounds like the neighbors are in for a good dinner on you!

Glad you got the saw back!

Been following this thread to see how it would end. Great to hear that you got the saw back!

Thanking God for even the littlest things in life is completely appropriate!
