[ruffdog]

He used a fake cashiers check to steal a Massey and rake. He had even pulled the plates off of his black Ram truck. Pictures:

Hope somebody on here recognizes him:

 

[Have tractor did travel]

Not good for Ed's Machinery, and hope someone recognizes that fellow.
For anyone in same selling situation, require a copy of the cashier's check be sent to you, the day before the transaction. Then contact the issuing bank. With a copy of the check before the bank official, and the control number of the check, the bank will be able to verify the check being good.
Or deny its validity.

Who got a copy of his driver's license? Then there'd be no. question. I'm sorry, but I don't feel sorry. Cash is king. If they can write a check, they can get the cash. I've seen things bought and sold with large brown grocery bags of cash, hundreds of thousands a pop.

uggh

did they help the thief load the tractor and rake too ?

Many don't feel comfortable carrying that amount of cash. And nowadays it can get confiscated if the cops have to stop you/investigate an accident/etc... And thats if the bank will even dole it out to you.

Ed's Machinery sounds like a consignment dealer so it may have been a private persons tractor.

If he was willing to steal from those guys, I bet he would be willing to steal from any of us!

 

[big bubba]

feel bad for the grifted Ed's Machinery, but can't imagine accepting a check w/o license plate or DL. what was Ed thinking? he's a proprietor. hope he has some recompense through it all.
& if it were on consignment, surely there's protocol for ensuring the private owner's equip is legally & securely sold. sorry to say, the responsibility falls to Ed

He also used a fake ID:

"....mystery man who used a fake cashier's check and fake ID to steal a farm tractor..."

Well, I don't feel comfortable with checks. So if they want what I have, they can do as I like. I know all about confiscation. I can instruct how to get around that. Or you can have the money wired to you in my town. Money has RFID chips in it. Just like your tires do. My tires don't. Cops have scanners unmanned that pick up cash amounts. You filled out papers for so called "warranty" on your tires, match money and tires to you and vehicle. Why you think they always find dope money but never dope? Dope don't have chips. Foil is your friend.

I bought a car in 2020. Was a dealer 120 miles away in adjoining state. Asked if they wanted cash, $21,000 for the deal. NOPE, cashiers check, photo sent to them the day before I went to get it along with a photo of my DL. They had my address, my ID and the photo of check and they did check all three. No issue the next day. Now I did buy auto for $12k CASH in 2019 in another adjoining state from individual. Amazes me they didn't check this guy out. Too bad for them. And the thief has some big whopping balls to try and pull that off.

I think that pos will get caught . Dang sure can't bring tractor in for warranty work or repair . Can't sell . Too much of a trail still . Even pic's if he drove far and fueled somewhere . Maybe he didn't have them girly gloves on when he handed check over and they got all kinds of fingerprints on that also .
That truck also has a roll over top when gooseneck not being used . Imo gonna take a little time but that pos " will get caught " .
For starters I hope he gets his azz kicked when they do .

 

[crazyal]

Sorry but the dealer should have easily caught this. Every cashier's check has the name of the bank and a phone number on it. It's not like the second he walks out the door he's gone. He still has to load the tractor. Someone should have been calling the bank to confirm it's legit. In today's age it's easy to search the internet for the bank and call the number on the website and confirm the check. Most likely their insurance will cover it if the equipment isn't found but there's plenty of routine steps that should have been taken.

 

[ruffdog]

Being that the perp went to such lengths to pull this off, I doubt a judge will have mercy on him. Especially, if he traveled across state lines.

No foolin… new teller at bank going to for 25 years refused to take my cash deposit to my rental business account.

It was a new tenant and she paid rent and security in cash to be able to move in the next day.

My coworker’s daughter is off to college and he went to Wells Fargo to deposit $600 cash in her account with filled out deposit slip for a computer she was buying and was also refused.

Cash may be King but on a $900 sale one bill was counterfeit and nothing I could do about it.

I had someone buy my enclosed trailer with a cashiers check. Even for $2,500 I took a picture of him, his drivers license, and vehicle license plate before I let him hook it up.

 

[bullbreaker]

I don't know there "routine " or set up in that establishment but how about remote posibility it's also an inside job or thief had a heads up regarding lax procedure(s) .

When I bought my MF as a trade in from a Deere dealer, I was concerned that the dealership in a town I'd never heard of before might doubt my check. The salesman said they got a lot of big checks and had some kind of service to quickly verify that it was good.
