I’m hoping to help my son recover some money from being scammed when purchasing a skid steer.

Kasey, being a firefighter paramedic works extremely hard while on shift saving lives and even harder working to provide extra income for his family. He recently started doing small excavation jobs and saved tirelessly to purchase another piece of equipment to grow his job capabilities.

He purchased a skid steer last Friday night, got it home and cleaned up Saturday but realized the machine was 7 years newer than advertised. He knew he had to call the police because the deal was too good to be true at that point. It hadn’t been reported missing yet, but he knew he had to find its owner even knowing he would be out his money. I am so proud of him for being such an honest man and wanting to right this wrong.

The original owner used the tracking device on the skid steer and showed up on Monday morning at the fire station and Kasey sadly, but willingly gave his machine back.

It makes me sick to see bad guys take advantage of not only my son, but a local first responder who gives everything to those who need it most. It would mean the world if we could help him start saving for another one again.
