My Missing Arab

[zsmm4]

I think its because the horse was origuinally on loan. The owner still owns the title so the loanee couldnt sell this on, so legally the loanee has only sent the horse somewhere else even though money has changed hands. I still dont understand wht the poriginal owner cant reclaim her property though, no matter who has the horse.

Hello All
Just a quick update....... Original loanee who sold him on has put in a defence against the case, therfore i am still awaiting a new court date and having to fill out yet another form!!!
Still without Tim and getting sick of playing the waiting game AGAIN !!!!! Wont give up or rest until he is home with me, and justice has been served!!!!

 

[brighteyes]

[Rollin]

Good for you don't give up. As they say The 'Law is an Ass'.

There could be legal reasons for not doing this, but have you considered posting lots of photos of Tim on this site.

If i was the person keeping him in Kilmarnock, i would be absolutely mortified if it was locally known that my "new"horse was stolen and I was not co-operating with the owner.

I'm sure there are lots of us who would be happy to regularly "bump" your photos to keep this high profile.

Hope you are reunited soon.

 

[brighteyes]

I'm not 'getting it' either. The original loaner has admitted to selling the horse. I assume this is a form of theft? There have definitely been others stolen and recovered from unsuspecting families who have bought them in good faith and had no legal comeback regarding the money. What on earth is different in this case?

Was there a signed loan contract?

Oh I am just dying to know what rubbish this Louise Coombs person is going to dredge up. It will be on record that the Police have cautioned her after she admitted to stealing and selling Tim without your consent. What leg is she intending to stand on?

God, this beaurocratic cr*p makes my blood boil. He's YOUR horse - why isn't he back in your possession? If the new buyer has a gripe loosing their purchase money (as I can well imagine they will have) - well let them take Louise to court to sue for compensation. THAT IS HOW IT SHOULD WORK.

There's a lesson for all of us in this somewhere. When we purchase a horse we need to know who it belongs to and smell a rat if there is anything even slightly amiss.

Assuming you have Tim's original passport, Louise must have obtained an alternative one for him before selling him. Presumably this will be newly issued? Since all horses have needed a valid passport for some time now, a newly issued passport accompanying a horse offered for sale, might now been viewed as an indicator that more information needs to be gained on the horse's history. I'd have wanted to call his freezemark company and check his previous registered owner.

I do wish you all the luck I can. You should not be in this position and I really feel for you. Well done for NOT giving up.

His passport is still with him. With my name still on it. It is a fraudulant passport as he has been clocked somewere along the line making him now 11 instead of his 19 yrs of age. Police didnt even look into this, i have spoken to trading standards and am liasing with them at present. I still have all his paperwork and foaling certificate etc. Cant understand how somebody would puchase a pure bred arab and not ask to see paper work or ask the question why a man took him to the sales when it doesnt match name on passport as that is still me.!!!!!!!! If anybody wants to print off posters of him for any reason you can go to Missinghorsesonloan website and select the Tim section. Thanks XX

OMG. It gets worse and worse. How can this person be getting away with this? Why isn't something being done? Hardly gives the right message, does it.

Good luck getting your boy home soon.

[timthearab]

I know, its something that only happens in a film or you dream about it as your worst nighmare & fears!!!!
But for me unfortunatly i get up every morning and Tim is the first thing i think of, i go to bed and Tim is the last thing i think off. This has taken over my entire life. I shouldnt have to be dealing with this. He should be at home with me but the Law thinks otherwise!!!!

 

[Rollin]

Have you thought of getting a Consumer Programme like Watchdog, You and Yours or Rogue Traders on your case? They would highlight the stupidity of the law.

 

[amc]

Rollin, what a good idea, It beggars belief that this is still going on and this poor horse isn't back with his rightful owner, I really hope that the woman who has illegally sold this horse on & fraudulently had another passport issued gets her just desserts !

 

[Doris68]

This is such a ludicrous situation to be in - I canot believe that the law is such an ass. I agree with Rollin ^^ and perhaps the Jeremy Vine programme on BBC Radio 2 (worth a go maybe??).

I truly hope that this will be resolved for you, sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed for a successful outcome.

 

[timthearab]

Its totally insane!!!!!! We had loan agreement drawn up and both parties signed it.... I wont rest till Tim is back home, Good help the Civil Courts lol. Hope it goes my way at long last!!!

 

[R.A.H]

Hi, is there any news on Tim yet?

 

[timthearab]

Hi Not a word, still battling on. English scottish divide is a total crock of S... still no Timmy yet!!!

 

[Tinsel_Toes]

fingers crossed for you he's home soon.

 

[Persephone]

My thoughts are with you. Hate to think of you going through this.

 

[timthearab]

That is a gorgeous picture, and a truly Happy Ending.
Well done for persevering and I'm so glad it all worked out as it should have done a long while ago.

Big Hugs.
