The Story you are about to read is True. <!--graemlin::(-->

NO NAMES have been changed to protect the victims involved. <!--graemlin::(--> <!--graemlin::(-->

On Saturday, 8:10 AM July 8, 2006, NAFC Life member Steven Casteel receives a frantic phone call from his selling partner in Joplin, MO., Aaron Green.

Mr. Green informed Mr. Casteel that during the night a previously packed wooden storage shed of Mr. Casteel's quality fishing tackle burnt completely to the ground. <!--graemlin::(--> <!--graemlin::eek:-->

Fortunately, no lives were lost in the blaze. <!--graemlin::D-->

Cause of the blaze is believed to be flying sparks from a nearby improperly maintained burning site. <!--graemlin::mad:--> <!--graemlin::rolleyes:-->

Value of the Storage shed alone is figured at close to $2,000.00. <!--graemlin::eek:--> <!--graemlin::eek:-->

The shed had been recently loaded with the assorted fishing tackle by [3] of 10 of Mr. Green's grandson's on Wednesday July 5th.

It is currently known that at least between 100-125 used and new fishing rods of all types and value, 3 sets of brand new wooden boat oars // [2] 6 ft [1] 7 ft. // and [4] good used boat motors, [2] trolling and [2] older gasoline type] were totally destroyed. Additional items were involved, but what they are [or known value] is yet to be determined.

Mr. Green is attempting to have his grandson's remember everything they packed in the storage shed before contacting his Insurance Co. on Monday July 10th, to see what was/ can be covered under his homeowners insurance policy minus any deductables. <!--graemlin::confused:-->

It is highly expected that after a meeting with Mr. Green, his Insurance Co., and Mr. Casteel, that due to the value of both the new and used equipment destroyed, that a fair and satisfactory settlement can / will unlikely ever be reached by all effected parties involved. <!--graemlin::(--> <!--graemlin::eek:--> <!--graemlin::(-->

The story will continue when more FACTS are made available.

Again, The story you have just read is True.

NO NAMES were changed to protect the victims involved.

TUM-TUM-TUM-TUM. TUM-TUM-TUM-TUMMMM.
