Slower than a rusty Honda
|
To start things off for the family this past week, Randy's pride and joy was stolen broad daylight out of his garage. To view pictures of this car visit the following link.
Randys 66gto Keap your eyes and ears open for this one of a kind car I'm sure it is never to be seen again but it would just be great to help this car get returned to the family.
To make things worse Randy was flying near Webster WI. when his plane went down. All I know of right now is that the plane crashed they found his breifcase and wallet and are awaiting identification of the body from his wife.
A few of you may know him I only had met him a handful of times and he was a great guy with a wonderful family, He leaves behind I believe a wife and two children.

Wow - I've met him a few times down at Porky's - heard about the plane crash yesterday on the news but didn't realize who it was.
A for that car - I bet it will never be seen again. But the motor probably will in some other car.
Wonder what the insurance company thinks. - hope the family gets the money for the stolen car, etc.

Damn, I have met Randy quite a few times as my girlfriend has a lot of family that lives in St. Anthony. Her family is pretty choked up over this incident.

Wow, definitely not cool. I believe I met him when I was at Porky's with Brian and Jenny one night, the car was absolutely gorgeous.

anyone watch kare 11 tonight (last night), they did a story on the death and missing gto. it turns out, eye witnesses saw his trailer at his house the weekend it was reported missing and he told police he was out of town all weekend. the police station filed a false police claim report a few days before he crashed. Anyone have ANY info on this?

You're skating on thin ice...
This IS the department I work for.
Police cannot file a report, citizens file reports with us.
You can direct all questions to Captain John Ohl
I cannot comment further.

A few of us here knew him personally...
To comment on the case, fine.
To comment on the man is unwarranted.
This whole thing sucks.

I didn't know him of course, and I hope I'm wrong on this. But I wonder if he was getting into financial trouble and making false insurance claims to get money? If that were true, I wonder if the plane going down was really an accident or suicide? It's just a strange coincidence to me. My best wishes go out to the family of course. This has to be a big shock to them. :grouphug:

No one asked you to comment. We're sorry you're taking it so hard, but you know as well as anyone else that people like to assume, draw up conclusions and stir the rumor mill.

Do not trust media much.. they can make a good thing look really really bad!! or a mouse becomes an elefant and a ant becomes the mouse! the elefant that was there never existed and they were flying in a one man plane to havaii..
everything you hear on TV take it with a grain of salt... i do not like business where they lie to you to get you to watch them, aka american media , just to get their ratings up...

My take of it..
He reported his car stolen, filed a claim, car was found at a "detail" shop, he "forgot" it was there. He told the police everything.
Then his plane crashes suddenly with just him in it.
Everyone I was talking to before the report of the car being found thought it was weird the whole car deal and plane crash 3 days apart or whatever...
Death sux, but somthing here is deff out of the norm IMO.

Sorry, but this quote from the article bothers me and should bother any other honest person who pays high insurance premiums.

Hodson had reported the theft of another expensive vehicle before, to Roseville police, and they found an extensive list of claims by Hodson with the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

I hope it's not true, but something defintely doesn't sound right. |
