Update:

The investigator did get the phones but has to wait about a week or so to get a warrant signed to try and get into them.

In other news, he made bail yesterday so he is back out. Not sure on court date for Grayson County, Texas.

ETA: I also found out that he is affiliated with a local gang down there. I suppose that is not surprising however it definitely is unnerving. The deputy of the sheriffs office down there did not seem overly concerned about it

I'm assuming as an investigator he did preservation orders for the phone acct, etc.

He needs the cell tower preservation order ASAP, to help track down your equipment.


Yes I think he put in for the cell tower one already last week or early on.

ETA: you say that the DA/sheriff don't have say over extradition, in state they absolutely do. The sheriff can say "we aren't paying to transport people from more than X distance unless it above X level charge). Some counties are notorious for dragging everyone back, some notorious for not. It just depends.

Fair enough. I know there isn't any formal extradition process between TX counties, but a criminal court judge has influence and can request Sheriff to send deputies to another county. Unfortunately, felony theft probably doesn't rise in most cases.

This is where County Commissioners Court and a tax paying constituent comes in.

Spend the money...

Curious if you ever heard back from the Broker, about their insurance coverage. If they insured the shipment, it should pay out.

The broker did reach out today asking for the police report for their insurance. I am waiting for the county to send that to me and then I will send to them. If by insured the load you mean them having general cargo insurance, they did have that for up to $100,000. We will see.

I appreciate it. I took it as a hopeful sign that they're asking for it.

Hope the mobile phone data can be used to locate your skid steer... with more hours on it than when it left you.

This was an epic thread read.

Well at least now hopefully there is 1 or 2 endings to this, hopefully its one of these two!

1. You get your skid steer back; or

2. Brokers insurance pays you for the skid steer

I appreciate it. I am hoping for the best. Just trying to give the investigator some space this week to hopefully connect some dots. Meanwhile, I am just trying my best to compartmentalize this whole issue as it has taken it up way too much of my time and bandwidth to this point.

I'm not reading the entire 11 pages so sorry if already posted, but your first post sounds very similar to what happen Guy Fieri and 24,000 missing tequila bottles.

If you have the dudes contact info, have you at least signed him up for cat facts yet? Seems the least you can do.

The cops confiscated his phones so he wouldn't be able to benefit from cat facts yet.

that picture of Fieri is a pretty good clue as to where about 200 of those bottles went.
I feel so much better since about 11 a.m. CT on 20 Jan. 2025

This whole thread is spooky. I just bought a Kubota track loader and have been renting it to friends that I know will care for it. It's left on job sites at night. I get notifications when it's moved .

This is the slow part, and there are hurdles to cross. Pre-trial, get on the court schedule, suspects pleas not guilty, more investigation and court prep, meet with the suspect and defense attorney for a last minute plea or plea bargain, trial date. Could be 2 months, could be 2 years, depending on a bunch of factors.

The OP (and friends!) did a great job getting it to this point. Worse case scenario, even if there is no conviction this time, eventually there will be (he won't change his ways) and this will be a contributing factor.

Getting one of those for $7500 is a deal you can't pass up.

Update:

Per the investigator, they seized his three phones and are sending them up north for him to go through.

He said that he should be transported up to Grayson county but there's a chance that the judge will allow him to bail out down there.

I would have thought that the only court that could allow him to bail out would be the court in the jurisdiction where he was wanted.

We learn something new every day.

No update at this time. The detective said that he was not being helpful in giving the codes or anything like that so they were bringing in another unit that has technology that can maybe break into the phones.

They need a cellebrite and if it's an iPhone hope that the software isn't up to date.
