Stolen 32 Schiada. "Stars and Stripes"

[4Waters]

interesting.....a bit of a contradictory statement in there.......

Yeah

 

[pull-on]

You are incorrect. We posted the pictures of the boat on the trailer at the pickup location and had already removed the boat to our location days before you guys even knew what was going on. We where paid to remove a trailer and dispose of a boat on the trailer. The trailer and boat vin's where clean no record. It was our company that made the extra effort to find out the story on the boat. A search on the internet found a story dated 2013 about a stolen 32' Schiada and that's how it happened.

No you did not. See below quote.

I'll say it. You're shady as fuck. See below first post you made.

Just curious has this boat ever been found? I ask because I have seen this boat

You are not telling the truth. You did not post shit about having the boat at first. I can assume that you already had the boat at this point. Liar liar pants of fire.

I'm a Hallett connoisseur. I was going to reach out and see if you have any on your lot as I'm looking for another project. At this point, you lost a sale, or at least impound fee and storage reimbursement.

I can't even fathom the fact that you can't see what bullshit you are spewing.

Tow companies and impound lots are like a grove of trees, it’s quite shady. Just the daily storage price is highway robbery yet alone the recovery process. Majority of the time, LE is involved in the recovery and the vultures reap the rewards. Being in the heavy equipment industry, we have an abundance of theft and I’m the guy paying the recovery and storage fees to get our equipment back. It’s astronomical what these shady companies charge for said work.

I hope they keep that boat and let it rot. Serves them right to come on here and misrepresent and misguide the masses.

Absolutely disgusting.

That is exactly what I said in post 350

What's with the interrogation of the guy? He didn't do anything wrong, and doesn't need to justify his actions.

Yeah, he needs to mind his business….its staring to get good.

At the end of the day, "there is an ass for every seat". Someone with more money than brains will buy it and dump $150k+ into it and have a really nice boat.

 

[Badchoices03]

Oh and BTW, $20,000 for impound is highway robbery and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Why is robbery? He has a mortgage on the storage lot to pay, drivers to pay, insurance, fuel, security for the yard, etc, etc...probably cost him $1000 to just get in the truck...if you think its robbery, just go buy a impound lot, tow trucks, and necessary equipment and do it yore self....lol

Well he keeps saying he didn't say things, that he absolutely did say?

It's bizarre..

Landon / Leadfootracing.. You might want to click on your green little avatar there and go read the 14 posts on this website.

You asked if the boat had been found..

You then said you wanted to talk to the owner.

Then you listed the boat for sale.

Then you said you didn't list the boat for sale

Now you are saying that you posted pics of the boat at a pickup location before anyone knew what was going on..

Out of the 14 posts, like 6 of them are contradictory to each other.



If ya want to sell the boat, honestly I think 20K is more than a fair value being it still has the stand off boxes and a lot of the stuff you'd need for it.

I know that Lee from Schiada wants it back to tool a 28.. but I think he'd probably be more in the 10 range. (if you don't get any takers)

Maybe I will and I’ll cut everybody in half. And then you can tell me parking a boat on your dirt lot for a month is worth $20,000.

I think it's more going and repo'ing things from criminals part is what is driving the price there.. plus the equipment to be able to do it.

Maybe so but sounds like a hell of a business. You should start a repo and storage lot in LHC. Could be gangbusters.

I think like every business, it sounds extremely lucrative until you figure out how they earn their money. Otherwise we would all do it.

You have no idea how many people I know that tried to start a forum or a competing thing because it’s “easy.” Pretty much all of them have failed..

Go for it. I dare you. Let's us know how much you invest the first month into the equipment, lot to park repo'd items, insurance, and state fees. Don't forget to bill for your time. To make it fair get tier 4 emissions equipment since California forced it on everyone.

And a Conditional Use Permit from the Planning Department to operate said business with Conditions of Approval attached that may include a Water Quality Management Plan that outlines provisions for keeping the soil from getting contaminated from the shitboxes that get towed in, provisions for ADA parking. lighting, etc.

 

[rrrr]

Don't forget legal fees to pay attorneys for those who sue because their hoopty was "illegally" towed.

And internet access so you can talk trash on RDP and letting us know how much money you are making.

you should, and start a boat repair facility and AC repair business as well....undercut them all and force them to lower their damn prices....LOL

Man, I’m the new LOF. Feels great!

 

[RogerThat99]

Honestly the job is worth that.. I wouldn’t go deal with criminals etc to repo shit for that money that you may or may not get?

He probably got paid separately for the recovery itself. Storage / impound fees were from the time it sat in his yard while all parties decided what to do with it.

 

[FCT]

Man, I’m the new LOF. Feels great!

What happened to that guy? I just realized I haven’t seen the answer to everything from him in awhile.

 

[FCT]

At the end of the day, who gives a shit

Only the business owner knows what it really takes him to run his own business. If that’s what he needs to charge and he gets it good for him. I think he can do it and not be shady but if that’s the way he wants to run his business so be it. It’s his business.

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

What a crazy thread!! The boat has been stolen, found and is now for sale. What does the original owner have to say about all this?? Sounds like the a good movie script.

I'm pretty sure he's been paid off by the insurance co. Long ago...
If ya start @ the begining it's a pretty interesting story. Not too long of a read.

 

[wzuber]

Interestingly enough...and for what it's worth, the original photo of the boat sitting between the buildings shows it sitting back from the bow crank stand seemingly indicating it's not on it's original trailer in that pic. The trailer paint is kinda ratty looking too. Not at all what you would expect for such high caliber boat. Was that a " loaner" type trailer too? Similar to what it's sitting on now? was the original trailer stolen too along with the engines, drives etc.? Some real oddities in this dealio...

RD, in @Leadfootracing defense, he didn't come on here and post the boat for sale, or even mention it was for sale. An Inmate Xstream bumped the thread by posting the Craigslist ad for the boat. That is what started the current conversation. Then Leadfoot was just answering questions.

I was going to note this as well, but the torches were already lit and I didnt want to get burned....

The issue is leadfoot knew where the boat was when he asked if it had been found

I understand that. He has his reasons. He doesn't know if someone involved in the theft, or was the one that had the boat in their possession, is lurking on this site. Maybe he was just checking the temperature of the people on the site.

Having worked in my past in a similar capacity (not for boats though), I would have kept my cards close to my chest, for several reasons. This was the early 90's, so the internet wasn't really in use yet. For example to see what people know, and not to draw any attention to myself or why I was asking. You need to slow walk your seeming vague questions. He was just fishing for information (I mean that in a positive way). I can't speak for @LeadfooLeadfoot, but my guess is that I am close to the correct path.

It doesn't matter if someone lurking here was involved, it was in his possession in a locked facility, no need to be secretive any longer

I see your point. All I'm saying that he obviously wanted some information on the boat (the former owner and he got in touch with Lee). Sometimes you get more responses when people don't know why you are asking the question(s). Just my opinion.

 

[Backlash]

I just saw the updated sales ad on Craigslist. New price is $15K.

Which begs the question. What is the price point our RDP experts would grab this thing and rebuild it.

Would be nice ot see the boat come back to life in the right hands...

I mentioned this earlier in this thread. It isn't necessarily the asking price that's hurting the sale. The problem is finding the perfect buyer. The buyer has to be in love with this exact boat, and would buy it regardless of the asking price or the condition. And that buyer has to have a truckload of money to throw at this boat to bring it back to life. We all appreciate this hull design and many have a love affair with the brand..... The stars just need to be aligned for it all to come together.

I wouldn't take it for free.. And I'm not saying I don't like the boat. It's just not worth it.. The thing needs engines, drives, interior, floor?, gelcoat repair, trailer?, rigging.. No thanks..
