Thank you both for the info. I have a Buddy who was pretty close with Tony so I will be able to make a donation.

I know it's easy for guys who Didn't lose 3weeks of artwork themselves to say forget it , or call the cops " who can't do a thing " I was very very close with Tony. Again if it wasn't my own work or for his son. I'd say give up or give it another 4/5months or 12 too. But some of us that got burned think it's been more than long enough to try any way possible at this point. Thanks Eb for getting it. The point was , if anyone see's or hears something break radio silence.

YES, I AM A COMPULSIVE SHOPPER. ADDICTION IS MY MIDDLE NAME



LOLOLLOLLOLOL.. I don't know why but the night vision goggles crack me up!

I wouldn't expect Larry to understand the difference between addiction and a mental health problem. But At this point he should get the concept that his problem has become others problem,but not Larry's.Unfortunate situation for all involved but tragic for a boy who lost his Dad. Regardless if the money is recovered,the generosity of some will be remembered by all and a man who lost his marbles will hopefully find a cure.

Then what are you waiting for?? Call the cops, as suggested in other posts in this thread. If the father, who I feel terrible for, can't come up with the money then getting the police involved is your only recourse short of taking matters into your own hands (which is not what I would suggest doing). It must be a chitty feeling to get burned in this way, but really, what else is there to do at this point?

Pretty sure I mentioned them each as their own entity so......pretty sure I know the difference Chris! Thanks for trying to toss stones though.....always a touch of class when Chris gets on board! He loves to make things personal!

The beast part about that insurance fraud list was that he justified it by saying that he had just picked up all of his belongings from his parents house in Jamestown before he went fishing. Then a few years goes by and he said his parents live in Swansea. :rtfm:

They shouldn't be mentioned as separate entities. In fact, they're usually one in the same. Substance abuse is considered a symptom of the mental health disease. People with mental health issues often self-medicate to ease the suffering their illness has brought upon them....

That's for another thread, though.

Oh so glad I am getting a lesson on mental health and addiction......so are we feeling bad for this guy?? Call the cops because he is a cheat or should you take him home, fluff up his pillow and make things better!! Its the choices we make in life and those 2 choices can be mutually exclusive! Mental health you don't have much of a choice there but addiction can be a life choice.....a path you choose!

Somebody get Larry some meds.seems the coffee isn't cutting it.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

I am addicted to coffee.:heybaby:

5 Tommy Bahama outfits!!! LOL

And cologne !
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

what you mean you guys don't use night vision googles? lol

Cologne is the kicker for me
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

There were Rolex watches too I think no??

The night vision goggles make me spit out my drink everytime. Love it!!

It's funny how everything is only 1 to 2 years old

This is a very sad thing that had happened and I feel really bed for all who was Involved

You couldnt fit that much gear on the #^&#^&#^&#^&ing helen h nevermind a 23 foot parker.

It blows that it didnt go right. suggestion from a former life as a dirty no good banker and trust account opening dude: Oh a check excellent, we'll call and verify funds.

If anything is done to correct the situation let me know I'm happy to make a donation.

I thought we were not gong to pour gas on the flames :smash:

bassballer, I don't think that list was necessary I mean really? :stir:

Chris and Larry go to separate corners please

:deadhorse:


I feel bad for all involved, this thread is not the place to make matters worse I am pretty sure.
sorry to hear this news

Eben, do you know if Danya is aware that his gofundme page might be a black hole? I'm not sure why you would say that

I said "might" be a black hole. Reason is that it could be linked to Tony's old bank account. I was just voicing my concern.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

I remember the Rolex watches.
It amazes me the guys insurance company didn't have him put away on ins fraud charges.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Sorry, actually worked a full Friday and couldn't fish. Was going a little stir crazy.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

F the po po.
Call the westport mafia
They just found the last waste disposal clean up
But on a serious note heart breakin for all parties involved in every aspect of the situation.
Tony gave me a ride back from the inlet in the old isuzu trooper with the dented hood from eels heads to avoid a blazin thunder storm back in my young and dumb years ( yesterday)
Except the turd burglar that pulled the heist. No excuse as a human being. Call tartget 12 news people. Jr will be able to afford harvard. Hope things shake out
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Ok
I can send him a message asking but I bet he took care of it
Being concerned is a good thing

Larry, you are WAY off base here.

Right. Real fishermen wear bunker oil.

$250 in Massachusetts. Larceny $250+ is a felony here.

Yeah,
When my claim for the ice damages came through, I had to create like a 50 page document to say that all of the money from the settlement went directly back into the house.

They also asked if I made major improvements on top of the damages (which I did)/ I only had 3 days to produce the receipts. Luckilly for me, I replaced the roof and all of the upstairs windows with new Harvey brand Argon filled models. They finally backed down after I produced all of the receipts.

What a pain, and I did things the right way.
