    Post Neighbor gets 4 bikes confiscated by the Feds

    Toofhunny...to me anyhow.

    This guy is a tool, a chiropractor who is the most anti-tax, anti-government person I've ever met. I have never been able to figure out how he could own and keep 4 bikes on the road, even though they're all older bikes bought used. In his house/office building across the street from me I have never once seen a client parking, coming or going, never once, nada. Twice a day he puts a small backpack on and rides 4 miles over to the local gym, stays for some hour or three (don't really pay attention to that) and returns. Rumor was he sells steroids to the other meatheads there, don't know.

    He has a GF that I've seen outside the house twice in the past 5 years. They are both mid-thirties. He has 3 dogs who bark the whole time he's gone, never heard her try to shut them up. I talk to him very briefly because he starts spewing his conspiracy theories with little impetus. Always taxes are too high, we shouldn't pay for this or that (or anything) and apparently he's living his convictions.

    Anyhow, it was about 11:00 yesterday morning when my son texted me that the local PD was there with 2 or three Federal Marshalls, and a ramp truck. They took his 2004 Triumph Sprint RS, a 2007 Triumph Bonneville, a 2001 BMW RT1100 (I think that what it was) and a similar year R1100S. Another neighbor told me he'd signed his house over to his mom for $1 about a year ago, so they can't touch that. I gotta wonder if they'll be back for his skidsteer, and the pickup he drives may be in his GF's name because they didn't take that either. Rumor is he's in for $37K on fed taxes, never paid. He went to the first court date and they ruled against him, defaulted on his appeal.

    Sympathy is something this ass will find only in the dictionary, somewhere between shit and syphilis.

    Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. He leaves it outside 24/7/365 despite having built a new "barn" (the permit was for that) which he actually built as two-story living space with a drive-in garage under. The town took him to court and won the right to increase his property taxes accordingly even though he wouldn't let them on the property to inspect it. It's drama at every turn with this guy.

    I don't "like" paying my fair share of taxes, who really does? I do it because its the morally right and legal thing to do, keeps my street plowed in the winter and the street lights on. Plus paying them lets me keep my stuff and keeps me out of jail, a place he may find himself soon.

    As for when are they auctioning off, don't know. I believe they have to hold stuff for some amount of time to see if the person pays up, and only after another judgment is rendered can they sell it off. I would go to the auction to buy at least one of the bikes, just to park outside in front of my house where he could see it with MY plate on it.

    This guy sounds almost to be crazy or something. I don't think I'd step foot on or near his property line just in case it is booby trapped.

    It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

    I meet a LOT of these kinds of guys in CA...I think it has something to do with the high taxes...

    don't chiropractors make enough money post-tax to afford a comfortable lifestyle?

    Perhaps the free citizen who had his property unlawfully confiscated by the power mad government nazi police seeking only to crush his freedom by grinding their jackboots onto his throat was not properly exercising his second amendment rights to open carry a rocket launcher?

    A chiropractor?

    At least he's a professional bullshitter, might help him in court.

    Buy the skidsteer for a buck and donate it to the town.

    As much as I hate paying more than my 'fair share' of taxes, I really don't want to mess with the IRS.

    Yes, the government takes its taking very seriously, and you mess with that at your own peril.

    Re: Neighbor gets 4 bikes confiscated by the Feds

    So my older son was talking with the guy yesterday. I don't know how much is BS from this chiropractor who never has a client, but he told my son that it was $60,000 in student loans that his "family didn't pay" and that's why the feds came.

    I'm calling bullshit. I've never heard of the feds coming after someone for student loans in that manner, but for taxes....most definitely.
