As a business if you do trades with people off the backs of trucks you are assuming the risk of some of the goods being stolen. Once you buy something stolen the best possible outcome is that you never find out. Once you do find out, there is no possible positive outcome. If the cops take the tires for 7mo+ you are out $600 (Or more depending on how much you could have got for them.) for at least that long, if not longer. Even if they catch the thief, you'll never get your money back. I've had a few things stolen in the past. 99% of the time the thief is never caught. When they are they are broke and have no way to pay back. If they go to prison for that or some other charges they may have already you are 100% guaranteed never to get the money.
I think the right thing to do is for the rightful owner to pay Rocket City $300 as a fee for the cops not holding onto his tires indefinitely and for Rocket City basically being the finder. Sucks to have to buy your own tires back, but most don't get them back at all and its cheaper than new.
That way Rocket is only out $300, which is the price you pay for doing business out of the back of a truck. You win some, loose some. You have to accept that doing business that way. $300 is cheap for dealing with a thief. Consider yourself lucky you aren't out more. Everything I've ever heard about Rocket City has been good and I do not think this is necessarily a negative exposure for them.
If your main concern is justice, give it up. The cops don't give a **** and unless you literally find the thief yourself and point him out to them they will actively try to do as little as possible to help you. If the theft took place out of their jurisdiction you literally have a better chance of catching a meteor in a net and then winning the Mega Million Jackpot in the same day than them trying to help you.
If the cops already have the tires you might as well start shopping for more if you need them any time soon.

Rcor had to give up the tires anyways. Why not just give em back to the rightful owner?

I think any shop should document info from the seller of any used parts because of deals like this. Something to think about in the future...

I've done business with rcof over the years ( although they didn't know who I was) never aney bad dan allways tell u how it is 
if the thrives took them to several different tire stors an had to be refured to them then that means that there not wheelers . Their is a real good chance they will try to sell dan some more an he can bust their ass .I can't tell u how maney sets I've bought over the years .but we don't need to run them in the ground their good people in my book .if Tyler needs some tires in the mean time I've got a couple of sets he can borrow .....hell I never get to go wheel ....so the point is for a while if u have some parts to sell borrow a blue truck to deliver them

Re: Re: Re: SOMEONE STOLE MY SWAMPERS !!!!!!!!!!
I would hope that you know me better than to think after sticking my neck out with communication here helping with this when I could have done absolutely nothing, that I wasn't casting the first shadow toward anything your way. The quote/un-quote thing was just something I incorporated bc there is a boss and his worker that we know for now as potential theives, so " " was kinda indicating I dont know who the **** the thief is. It was more of an involuntary action than anything with great meaning, relating to casting any sort of negative **** your way. Ain't a motherfucker in this thread that knows a goddamn thing for sure what went on besides the main ones involved....even though everybody still likes to point fingers over half-ass 2nd hand info, cuz they think their opinion makes a **** in regards to the matter.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hope it works out and you get your tires back soon Tyler, despite the shitty circumstances. I would also like to extend my most sincere "**** You" to anyone that wants to poke **** at me for my actions as a middle man or whatever. People naturally tend to automatically pick a side, when in this case there is no side. Both Tyler and RCO are good ppl as far as I'm concerned. The only feasible person to point fingers at and shun would be the "thief".... Other than that, I'm bowing out.....I have nothing else to say here. It's turned from actually gettin ****ing results for once and gettin the ball rolling on getting to the bottom of a shitty situation, to ****in teenage drama and ppl having to type goddamn essays defending themselves and their actions. **** that ****.. Best of luck to everyone involved.

Your hostility is a little late. At this point the mob just wants to lynch a thief. Everyone, for the most part, thinks that although it sucks, we understand why both parties are having to do what they are doing. Ain't no thang man.

What JJ said! Its just a tax, call it convenience or stupid tax. Its a tax. And now the PoPo got em, who wins??? The PD for when they sell them to help fund some dumb waste of taxpayer expenditure.
And now all you guys who are on the "same team", the good guys here are bickering. Dumbasses!

BTW, how did the thief get into a storage unit without any signs of forced entry? And why did they pick your unit out of all the possible units available? And is it some ghetto U-Store-It place that doesn't have security cameras or a gate?

I don't know the answers to the other questions but they have security cameras. They just only keep footage for 48 hours. Who checks their storage unit every 48 hours?

Josh, I've got NOTHING bad to say to or about you! Actually I couldn't be happier about what you and Frankie have done! I hope no one has anything negative to say about you. I was just letting you know I ain't scared to whoop your crippled ass if I have too.... I guess I'm just upset I don't have MY tires... in my mind there is NO reason for the PD to have my tires. The paper/legal trail is there and rolling either way. Why do they need my tires?
On my storage unit, there are light tool marks on the lag bolts that hold my lock onto the door, and the assembly is a little loose... but without a witness or tapes, there is no proof of anything... My local Pd has written the report up as forceable entry. But that got lost in my convo with hville Pd. I felt outnumbered and interrogated during that part of it and don't feel like I explained myself well. The ONLY time I've ever had those wheels and tires out in the open @ the unit was on April 29th when I took pictures of them (which are still on my phone). RCOF says they received them within a few days after that. I figured it had to be one of the many people at their storage building that day, but I may never know.
What is done is done. NO ONE on here is being dishonest. Now we just let the police do thing and hope for the best.
