What would you do?

My Domincan friend owns a deeded lot near a resort outside Puerto Plata. She went to inspect the property and found somebody moved a bunch of storage containers, and heavy equipment onto the property. Basically made it a construction site storage lot. They've got front loaders, a steam roller, back hoes and more up on the lot. She got an order for removal but can't pay the sheriff or a company to come remove the equipment. Anyone know of a company that would confiscate and store it on commission? Has to be hundreds of thousands worth of heavy equipment there.

Surely she has friends like your goodself ....so who needs a company ........move the stuff yourselves

Surely some locals know exactly who stored the equipment there. There are rarely any secrets in the DR. FIND THE OWNERS AND GET THEM TO REMOVE IT.

I always find it interesting/funny when a Dominican asks a gringo to help solve a problem he/she is having with another Dominican. Just pull over the "compramos hierro viejo neverra viejas..." guys and sell it to them.

PS. Sell it for scrap. Any questions if the owners ever show up; someone is stealing it so you better get the rest of it outta here before it's all gone. When in Rome...

Put up a sign "Equipo en Venta - Barato" and the owner will come running

Charge em' a few thousand dollars a month rent.

If you want to know who it belongs to just start having it moved and they'll show up in a flash.

Always deal with Dominicans same as a Dominican would deal with them.
You can thank me later.

Agree… Then get them to leave immediately! Don’t try to rent to them.

Anyone that would invade someone’s property shouldn’t be trusted to be a good tenant.

LOL...if that was stolen equipment the "seller" who put up the sign , would be complicit in the crime,no?

This is the first and only post from OP... why is he/she believable?

Palo's and barbed wire are cheap, put up a fence delineating the property and hang "Private Property" signs... Then sell them their own equipment, it's a win win. They get their stuff back and you make a little profit for the inconvenience..

That wouldn't even faze them. Armed guard maybe? Ask around and find out who they belong to?

I had something happen like that to a friend. They dumped a bunch of sugar in the fuel tanks. Expensive lesson.

Awaiting what actually happens. OP, Please post updates.
