"I bought a stolen dinghy"


Is it this your original post. and what is problem then. you stated/wrote that you bought "stolen dinghy". in other words that mean that someone stole dinghy and then sold it to you.

and again that men that you accusing someone (seller) of selling stolen goods to the public. when you on the end figured out that dinghy actually is not stolen, are not you suppose to publicly (on this forum) apologise to the person that you accused of selling you "stolen dinghy"

Moonpie never mentioned anyone by name here, so no one was accused publicly. He presented this story as a cautionary tale, one which is of interest to all of us.

As for the previous owner of the dinghy, I'm sure he was pained for a while, with the police asking him questions -- but he knew he did not steal it, so he figured eventually all would be cleared up. Same for the owner prior to him.

In the end the bureaucratic mistake was revealed, and everyone involved understands how these things can happen. I'm sure the previous owner does not blame Moonpie.

Thanks for summarizing the affair correctly. The previous owner doesn't blame me, nor do I blame him. The PO was very apologetic, as was the guy he bought it from. For me to report that I bought a stolen dinghy was at the time 100% accurate.

I'm sure transformer has a short between his windings and this is causing him to keep blowing his fuse.

I'm glad it all turned out good. You were without your dinghy for the short time the cops had it, and all you need to do now is clean out all the donut crumbs.

Possibly English not being his native tongue and misunderstanding.

I would concur ... the "I bought a stolen dinghy" title was take as a fact known to the purchaser, and not as a headline.

Makes a good point ... think before posting ... to all parties ...

Still...the reaction was a little strong and not well thought out.
