Thanks for the welcome swn.

My wife and I go down every year. Started going in 2001 and got married there in 2003. Already have the plane tickets and room booked for our annual May trip. Trying a new place this year...Jasmine House.
Have stayed at Bestwestern Hibicus 2 times, Ocean Breeze Inn, The Douglas House 2 times and also The Seaport Inn.

Found this forum when soemone posted about the Keys TV....kinda addicted to that now.

I hope to be able to contribute to this site. I know things are slow nowadays...at least it is on the other KW forums I'm on.

Have a great day.

So, you're pretty much an honorary KW local by now?

Glad you enjoy Key TV... I'm sure you already found it but you can watch it streaming live online: Key TV streaming live online

And activity in our KW forums is sporadic. It always helps to have knowledgable folks like you to help answer questions, though...

Here's the truth

Just thought I'd clear up what the Op did. The hotel repo'd and held his boat as collateral when he went several months in arrears for rent. He filed a Theft report with the local authorities, but was extremely rude with them. The hotel claimed to have legally repo'd it. Before the police could verify that information, they dropped the case due to the Op's combative and uncooperative attitude. They told him to go civil with the case and they would no longer help him.

Since then, he has been posting this garbage all over the internet in different forums trying to trash my hometown. Now, he's claiming the hotel dismantled his boat. But, several witnesses from the coastline where the boat was anchored proved him to be a liar.

swn5363, you did good.

Aquahound, thanks for posting that. This guy went off yesterday on the Hogsbreath forum. A few of us there posted that his story didn't jive and he basically attacked us. Hopefully the admins there will ban him from that board. This guy really showed his true colors and i can see why the police would or could not work with him.

Thanks Flattop. I regulary read different message boards and he has shown up in almost every single Key West forum on the internet. In fact, Cruisecritic and Tripadvisor have already deleted him and locals at bigpinekey are tearing him apart.

He's being bashed on Topix also. If, in fact, he really does have a lawsuit, his lawyer must suck. You would think all this internet posting would discredit him. I hope Ocean Key House is seeing this.

Some of the names he is using are: takenadvantageof, Robert, floridaguyfromohio, repo-yeahok, and some other aliases. He always starts as though he is sympathetic to the owners. But, it doesn't take long for people to figure out he is the retarded boat owner.

Thanks for the info guys.

I would just delete this thread, but it might help others find out what kind of a moron this person really is...

It's too bad ppl abuse forums with this kind of stuff. No different than spam.

BTW - Welcome Aquahound! Nice to see another local in the forums....
