Found tools .

[2rocky]

So my Girlfriend is the queen of finding tools along the road (No that's not how she met me...)

two summers ago she found a Makita battery blower that fell off a truck in front of her at an intersection

Then this winter found a 10 year old Husqvarna Backpack blower in the weeds along the road in front of our pasture. I started it and it ran...



My dilemma is that the big backpack blower is not something we would use , and I have a nagging thought that maybe someone stole it and ditched it in their getaway.

I haven't heard of anyone missing one but I want to be sure if I try to sell it, someone's not going to say " hey that's my stolen equipment!"

What is the procedure to be sure it's not stolen (I guess this applies to buying used equipment too)

I wouldn’t worry about it I suppose. If someone accused me of stealing it from them, I’d assume it was probably actually theirs since how else would they know and I’d let them have it back and explain that it was found. I don’t think it has to be to complicated as it’s the truth.
