Hey guys check out the post quoted below from BO and TD's quoted response where he says, "that to me sure sounds like it's stolen property!" That means there is no legitimate reason to continue to post a picture of an alleged stolen rig on Treaty's introductory page on iHub or continue to slander Treaty with all the "stolen rig" accusations!

Perhaps someone can check into the BO's post selection highlighted in red and get the court case with the details.

I suspect a vehicle (in this case a truck mounted rig) could be legally imported into Belize in the same way that my car in Belize City can be registered by showing a certificate of title which shows a VIN number of the vehicle.

No-one bothers to check the VIN number on the vehicle itself in this process although they do sometimes check that the vehicle matches the description on the paperwork. So in theory a vehicle with a VIN number on paper but with no VIN number on a vehicle plaque could be imported into Belize.

The car registration process is no different in Belize than the UK, UAE, Venezuela or Egypt in my own personal experience.

Regarding your allegation that the VIN number was removed - there is no evidence to support that. No vehicle plaque with a place for a VIN number which had been removed was found.

Also I have not seen any evidence to support your allegation that the VIN number was removed because the rig was stolen. The facts show that Treaty did not steal the rig and that the owner of the rig in 2008 was instructed by the court to transfer the ownership to another person as part of a settlement - which I understand they did not do.

Turns out the VIN number is not in the usual place on the rig as it was manufactured in 1980 before the VIN numbers were standardized in 1981. The VIN is likely there if you know where to look.

I stand by the fact that the right full owner is not in possession and is being denied possession, that to me sure sounds like it's stolen property...

That's what Treaty does... Rip everybody off.
