We Bought A Stolen John Deere Tractor

Back in January a John Deere 3046R was up for sale at a Public Auction. We bought it remotely through family members. Once Tim had a chance to see it, we noticed a few oddities about tractor, after a bit of detective work, Tim found out it had been stolen from a John Deere dealer.

This is exactly why I watch your channel, strong ethics and sound morals, we need more people like you in the world.

I've watched enough of your videos to not be surprised that you did the right thing. You're a man of character and your testimony is strong. Well done!

[hogheadrun]

I don't have to say this but I will. Thank you for being an honest and forthright person not to mention being so observant. God Bless.

Sorry to hear about the stolen tractor. It is nice to see honest folks like yourself doing the right thing. Last year my girlfriend and I went to a box store to buy a few items. One of the items was a multimeter for about $95.00. She dealt with the cashing out of the items (she's a big part of the finance committee...lol). Anyway, while we were walking back to the car I realized the total amount for the items we just purchased didn't seem right. Sure enough after looking at the receipt I noticed the cashier didn't ring up the $95.00 multimeter. Of course we went back in and paid for it. I told a few people of what had happened and I was surprised how many said they would of just gotten in their car and left. You mentioned that you could of not said anything and kept the tractor but you were not that kind of person. Just want you to know that although a sad situation its a good feeling knowing that there are honest people in the world. Thanks.

Tim your an honest and stand up guy. You'll be rewarded for that.

Thank you for being a family with integrity. The auction house needs to do the right thing too.

I can’t believe the auction house is doing you like that. Call their bluff and take them to court. They will get slapped with a fine and will lose lots of business once the word gets out. You’re a stand up guy and I respect what you did. Not many people have those kind of morals anymore. I would also like to offer to contribute $100 toward the legal bill if you go to court. They deserve what’s coming to them! God Bless you and good luck!

[bulletbobweldon]

Honor and integrity is at a low nowadays. The world needs more people like you! I wish you the best of luck getting your money back. You would think the dealership would give you a little something for being such a great honest man. Best wishes

[kennethmarlow]

Looks like the Deere dealer would try to work something out with you. I’m proud that you are the man and wife y’all are, for being honest. Have a blessed and safe Holly weekend

[rexhargrove]

I’m so glad to see that real, honest and good people still exist in this world. Bravo to you sir.

[randyutgaard]

What you did shows your true character Tim and it shows in your videos. Hope you get your money back. You’re a blessing to all👌

[deere]

Doesn't surprise me one bit that you would notify someone, Tim. That's what honest, hard working, farm raised people do. Not even a question.

You are a breath of fresh air! Instead of keeping the tractor, you did the RIGHT thing!

[jsullivan]

Tim we need more people like you doing the right

[pgg]

You checked into it and returned it because you are a decent and honest person. Too many aren't anymore

[craigschofield]

You did the right thing and I advise you if you haven't already get you lawyer involved immediately you can recover your money plus expenses and damages incurred from the auction house....they are liable and they know it and the sooner your lawyer sends them notice the faster you will get your money back!
oh yeah bravo to you for not only talking the talk of honesty but for actually living it! Most men nowadays will talk the talk but when it is their 14k on the line most start to whisper if they talk at all!!!
Your the real type of honest hero I hope my kids and grand kids look up too!

[joebob]

I. Sorry for your loss, but your Integraty is priceless. It can’t be bought at any price. A rare commodity in our time.

[michaelmartin]

I hope you recover your money Tim. No one should bear the loss for doing the right and proper thing. Hang in there.

[pseudopetrus]

I appreciate your integrity! Not so much the auction that sold it!
