Yay for not going to jail! 2-29-2024

 

Ok, here's a story for ya....

We made an offer on a lot, and it got accepted.  We wanted to get another 4 wheeler, and head down to the lot to take some measurements. 

So found a Honda 4-wheeler that we liked, and headed up to Layton to buy it on Wednesday evening.  It looked like just what we wanted, so signed a bill of sale, got the title, loaded up the 4 wheeler, and headed back home.

Thursday morning, we were loaded and ready to head to the lot, but first we needed to register the newly purchased machine.  There was a hiccup with the title, so Dean had to go into the DMV in person, we couldn't register it online.

Dean went to the DMV, and I searched for the VIN number.  I was just going to text it to Dean, so he could hurry and get on his way.  Well, there was an after market winch on the 4 wheeler, and it is bolted to the crossbar that has the VIN number on it, so I couldn't get a photo of it.

  Meanwhile, Dean was at the DMV, and the lady behind the counter noticed something strange about the title, so asked Dean to sit down and wait.  A few minutes later, Draper Police showed up to question Dean because the 4 wheeler was stolen and the title certificate forged.

Against the police's advice, Dean went back to the seller returned the machine and got his money back  So after a lot of drama, we got our money back and didn't get arrested,  But we still don't have a second ATV.

So Dean, Erika and Glendon had to share one machine when we visited the cabin property later that day.
