[QUOTE="sushi1234, post: 307306, member: 1721"] This is Frankie.... I want to clarify some things...I work at Rocket City Off Road, I'm the one who contacted Josh (TacomaJD) about having the tires after I saw his post on Facebook yesterday morning for him to get in touch with his friend (Tyler) .....The tires came to us about two and a half weeks ago in the bed of a red pick-up, the guy came in and asked if we bought used mud tires....he was directed to us by a used tire store here in Huntsville...... I went out and looked to see what he had..the story he gave is that his boss (an old farmer) bid on them and won them at a storage building auction and didn't have any use for them....he was asking $1100.00 for them, I told him that we couldn't give that for them.... seeing that if we had them on the floor they would bring about $800.00 due to being about 40% tread(before they were grooved) and having spots grooved to the cords.and they were all flat..then, he told me that they had no use for them and had stopped at a lot of tire stores before getting to us.... and was ready to head back home..he then offered them for $800.00 said I couldn't give that cause that is what we would ask for them...but I'd go in and the shop owner what he was willing to put in them.....so I went inside and told Danny ( the shop owner) about the tires, he went out looked at them and gave the guy $600.00....... The tires were in the show room for sale for $800.00 many lookers but no takers...(good thing now) so fast forward to yesterday.... I contacted TacomaJD after seeing the pics on Facebook...told him what we had in them and if Tyler wanted to come get them without any documentation of ownership we would let him have them for what we had in them, or to bring the police report and the authorities and if everything checked out the tires would be given back to him after the proper paper trail was issued..... Tyler came into the shop around lunch...and after we talked and we decided the best thing to do was to get the police involved to at least have a report...... in case the thief was ever caught .... The police came they checked out his police report from his local police ...they put in a call to the investigator..after Tyler answering some questions from police on site......the investigator instructed the police on site that there were two choices and they were for Tyler to decide....(1) pay RCO $600.00 and let it go through the court system and if everything was legit RCO would be required to pay the $600.00 back to him.......or (2) The Police would take them into evidence until the out come of the investigation.... I feel the investigators main concern was the police report wasn't made at the moment Tyler found they were missing from his storage unit....and Tyler telling them there appeared to be no forced entry..... So in the end when everything checks out.....Tyler would have either gotten his tires back after the investigation or if he paid RCO he would have gotten his tires that day and got his money back after the investigation... Also we get deals all the time...this is the first one in the last two years that has turned out as being "stolen".....when people don't have use for something they tend to sell at give away prices to the first person that show $$$..... BTW ...Tyler it was nice meeting you....just wish it would have been under different circumstances..... Also we at Rocket City also feel that ...us losing $600.00 ...... to get somebody their property back ... is a small price for the off road community..... also I frequent this forum a lot, usually the for sale stuff / tech fab and rides/ events. Hope this clarifies things.. [/QUOTE]
