The day ain't over yet.

Not like the owner or workers of the supposed roofing company will come onto a forum full of people and tell their side of the story without receiving the same treatment as Ozzy and come tomorrow when he still has his account, I told you so.

Ok the laptop I did not steal. What was missing from that is I knew the OWNER of the scrap yard personally. I have been friends with him for years. He was not available that day and the yard guy is a pia. That was resolved both with the (slipped him 20) and the admin here. The admin didnt hear the whole story. Secondly...the stupid leaf blower did not and still does not run. I literally tried to start it on the curb and low compressoon. I brought it home and tried to fire on ether....still no vroom Third it was next to a trash pile of shingles and crap wood. So if its next to the trash, on the curb, is it not trash?

And 4th I had the other post deleted to protect myself for court. But to this day no date and f I dont think there ever will be. Since there was a illegal traffic stop toi begin with and illegal questioning on the second part.

And lastly, yes if you don't feel a cop is a cop in a plain mark vehicle and wearing plain vehicles, then you can refuse to answer. You can go as far as leaving and driving to the first safe area until you found his true identity. They even had tv commercials airing this same thing. This started when we had a few crackheads running around impersonating a cop pullign people over in last few years. The only time this does not apply is in sting operations, like prostitution where a hooker asks the cop...are you a cop? In a traffic stop, they have to announce themselves and their intent. Otherwise you have the right to leave and call 911 for a safe location like a police station. Which actually I wish I did, but I did call 911. ANd they sent help. Its all on their tapes him screaming I had no right to call for help and he was gonna drag me out of the truck if I didnt comply.

Any other questions..ask. I have been talking to three lawyers and one cop....everything about this is illegal, except which I did. Which was legal.. Theres more to this story. Same cop arrested two people for cleaning up the yard and the bloody owner came out. And told the cop, its ok, they have my permission. Still got arrested..so what does that tell you?

O and lastly anyone wanna call and chat, pm me. I cant convey in text as well as text what happened....

I am content that eventually you will be banned. Give someone enough rope they eventually hang themselves.

Love how you keep adding things to each story, you should be a fiction writer.

We met Ozzy and we talked on the phone a long time ago. I had you pegged after meeting you in person.

Then you would realize I work my behind off and make 3 grand or better a month scrapping. I don't need to steal a 100 junk walmart blower....enough said. I got 5 grand in the bank at the moment legally scrapping and wheeling and dealing. I aint getting rich, but I am very very comfortable. Most days I dont even leave the house. I pick up 2-3 loads a month and sit back and collect the rewards. I dont need to curb shop either nor go looking for it. If Im driving by, thats one thing as in this case. But those days of chasing garbage men are long gone. Phone rings, I go. I see something on facebook or craigs I can flip, I buy it. Plain and simple.....Plus I make enough nso on big jobs I supervise or direct and my helpers do all the work.

Ok.. I admit, I had to mow the grass and pay a visit to the father-in-law so wasn't around which was probably a good thing as it gave me time to clear my head.

Why they were removed I do not know. I feel they ahould have been left up so all could read what the op has been doing. The integrity of this thread has been comprimised because not all the facts are known to everyone. Heres a recap- Ozzy admitted to stealing an i5 laptop from the whred pile at the scrap yard. He tried to play it off as " weigt for weight". He was called out on it and I know that I and some others reported the post. He was given a short vacation from the forum. When he came back he started or commented on another thread about a new trailer he purchased. According to him it is a pia to register a home made trailer in PA so he took the vin from another trailer he had and put it on the one he bought. Illegal, and I explained why it was illegal, but that thread was removed as well. Fast foward to his latest story of how he was arrested for taking scrap from the curb, forgot what it was, but he ranted on about how he was illegally arrested and searched and blah,blah,blah. He was again called out on this by myself and others and I gave a detailed explanation of why his story didnt hold water and that he was screwed. Now that whole ghread is missing as well and if you look at the forst post on this one he states he had the post removed ao basically there was no evidence of what he did so he it would not get out or been found out by whoever is going to nail him to the wall. So now that you have a synopsis of whats been going on here do you think he operates in the grey area?

I wish I was priviledged to the previous posts to get the full picture but since I only have the blower story, that's what I'm basing everything on. If what you're saying is true then yeah, Ozzy's way of doing things is bad and there isn't enough gray to cover that. But what if this court thing wins in his favor? Wouldn't it show that he was right?

Eventually the rule gets broken. And that rule breaker is going to go on like Ozzy has about how this other person did this and it was okay...

Isn't that what the report user/post links are for?

Let's make up some more BS!!

How can you work your behind off doing 2 or 3 loads a month?
I do 3-4 a week and that's part time. Plus run a painting business with 6 employees plus my partner and myself. What a trip. You better let your lawyer do all the talking when you go to court. Lmfao.
