So my wife comes homes with a story about , a coworker who bought a dirt bike that stopped by another coworkers house and worked on their bikes ,I say OK, So she says down the road is a trial that goes out to a field down the field is a Old tin building with the doors open, and inside is a bunch of junk thats been vandalized and a square shaped PORSCHE, I say YAYA, OK, where is it ?
So the next day I drive over and cant find a thing, but I notice the friggin field is an Airport they closed in 1999 ?, they are going to turn it into a Park. I call the parks department they say the Hangars are Gone. I call my wife she talks to the coworkers, I look again , find a trial thru a fence that goes out to the field and there's the hangar, door wide open crap all over the place and..........this picture is after property owner went out and cleared the way Attached image(s) |

So I am a little nervous, obiviously someone cut a hole in the fence, but the path was pretty well worn , So what the hell...............At the end the path opens up to the old airfield , pretty cool, Cooler yet there's a 914

Go pull the car out and take back to your place. Or call the owner and find out if you can do that.

i recall reading a story about a guy's trip through Beaureaucratic Hell in a similar situation. there was an old, abandoned shed on a bit of county property, which was perfect for a guy's needs. calls up the county to see if they want to sell it, as it's in a bit of disrepair and he figures they won't pay to fix it and could use the money from the sale. county insists there is no shed, and if there were, they couldn't sell it. he persists but the county is adamant there is nothing to sell. so he dismantles it and brings it home. suddenly he's charged with theft of public property now mysteriously valued in excess of $10,000(!). the case goes to trial and sure enough, chief witness for the prosecution is the selfsame county oficial who insisted there was no shed. eventually the judge dismissed the criminal charge, placed a reasonable value on the shed, and let the guy keep. the county guy continued to insist that the only proper thing to do was condemn the shed and destroy it. it was widely suspected that the county guy wanted the shed for himself, but of course that was beside the point and never proved. the moral is: be very careful about 'liberating' anything you find on public land, even if the "responsible" government agency insists it doesn't exist... |

Believe me I was nervous even about being there, so i go home , go online county records ,aireal view, zoom in on the Hangar,click on TAX ID number,
Go to Tax History, and there it is, Owners name, taxes paid ,you name it. Look up the name in local phone book , Damn there is about ten same last names. I pick the one in the middle. Call em up , Introduce myself , ask if so and so is there, they say no, I ask if they ever flew at the old airport ?, she says yes , I explain the situation, She replies that's my sister inlaw, Here is her number I'm pretty much shocked , that was easy.........

Turns out the property is 1 acre along the field the county did not purchase.
I get a call later that evening , You called about the property? I say yes, she says ,The hangar is hers,but its rented to some one for storage. I tell here thats is wide open, and I am interested in the 914, she says what? I say the Porsh, She says OK I will have someone call you. The next day a guy calls me and says it belongs to his family,They were saving it for his son, but things were different now. We arrange to meet out there , The next week. This is how it looked when I got there , and I think oh shit. Attached image(s) |
