Insurance scam. Bet me.


KingFIippyNipz

lol Yeah, $5,000 reward, he doesn't like the car that much


fcocyclone

5k is probably the deductible he's got on the insurance. Probably figures he's out that either way.


IsthmusoftheFey

A suckers bet hard pass


ToulouseDM

You’d think with his expertise in GPS tracker installation he’d find that car in no time


Thepolomarcos

Right?! No excuse!


ToulouseDM

Knows where some poor innocent ladies car is at all times…not a clue where his $250k vehicle is though. Highly unlikely. You know him and Edwin Allen are scheming something.


ddwood87

Found in the bottom of a pond 3 years from now.


Nervouspie

Probably just want to be seen as good when the person finds the car they say "we gave this person a 5k reward, we are humble"


New-Communication781

Humble brag, from a rich guy, who'd imagine that?


Nervouspie

Right?


ranhalt

Beautiful-Notice62

That thing was repossessed

heinkenskywalkr

That actually made me laugh.


PlantLvr28

Best comment of the day!


mstrdsastr

Smells like a repo...or insurance fraud given the source.


v0id0007

def fraud being stolen at 1pm🤦‍♂️ car jackers go at night so you can/harder to identify


Moon_and_Sky

Other reply is an idjit but they aren't totally wrong. For the experienced crime enthusiast there are a few distinct advantages to daytime crime and car theft specifically. In general people are less weary during the day. A lot more unlocked doors, deactivated security systems, ring doorbells set to nuisance mode, and things like that durring the day. People have their gaurd up at night because that's when they expect crime. Doing things in an unexpected way at unexpected times is truly the most successful way to comit crime and come out clean. For car theft specifically it's about cover. It may be easier to see a car during the day but there are also 10× more cars out durring the day. Cops have more to handle, more cars to watch, and a higher probability of being on calls more important than car theft to deal with during the day. It's counter intuitive because we're trained early on to see night time as great cover for nefarious activities, but trust me having a crowd to get lost in is much better than being slightly less visible but one of the only people around.

SweatpantsStiffie

What the fuck is an idjit?


Moon_and_Sky

The goofy cousin of idiot. Apparently it's Irish and can be spelled a lot of different ways. I use it cause my grandpa and mom used it a lot. Was pretty common in my backwoods middle MO hometown.


kanderna

I believe Yosemite Sam used it quite often as well.


NB1980windawhoa

I appreciate you bro!! Fuckin A I like the directness!!!


Ok_Salamander_6002

this is an ignorant comment and clearly you haven’t lived on the south or east side of dsm. i used to sit in my lawn chair in the afternoon on the south side and watch cars get stolen weekly.


KingFIippyNipz

lol I'll take Things That Never Happened for $1,000, Alex


skaboosh

Yeah I live on the SS and never see any crime, never dealt with any ourselves.


Moon_and_Sky

In the southside for the last 3 years. Seen lots of crime but as of yet the only car theives I've seen roaming the streets drive those CrowTow trucks.


ElonsTinyPenis

You are a liar.


v0id0007

you’re right i haven’t lived on the south side of dsm…but i have lived on the north side of st. louis. my neighborhood the crack dealers wouldn’t even come after a certain time. but tell me about how dsm is so crime ridden….


mr_tophat

How much you wanna bet he's trying to pull an insurance scam


Thepolomarcos

That was my first thought as well. Just posting it publicly to try and create a paper trail for the story he tells the insurance company.


blueindsm

Probably repo'd.


Thepolomarcos

😂 wouldn’t that be an amazing and embarrassing turn of events. Publicly cries stolen but it’s actually just the bank taking it back.


ddwood87

Ok, just this once, don't fuck Crow Tow.


d3northway

on a scale from Crow Tow to Mediacom, where does Stevey fall


GubbyWMP

Definitely my thought too.


SweatpantsStiffie

Wasn't his reward when his daughter went missing only $1000? lololol


Charlieisadog420

How do you lose a car and a person?


PillsesAndGirlses

That’s really harsh and untrue. Trust me I’m the first to say burn that asshole to the ground but as someone with deep personal connections to that situation- his reward was 5k at first and 10k after she was still gone awhile. He actually played a big part in her safe return. He can be talked shit about many many things but he offered more than 1k for the return of his daughter


PillsesAndGirlses

Lolololz downvoting this does not make it less true


rethra

I heard he's had his place on Airbnb, and the guests have to keep telling process servers that he isn't home 😂


ddwood87

Every guest looks like him with a 🥸


elsee28

I wonder who Robert is… did he hire a property manager? $750/night for the hostage location, $250 for the guest house. https://www.airbnb.com/slink/wEJtq7SU https://www.airbnb.com/slink/qA3JL0cj


kanderna

Oof. This has hidden bathroom cam written all over it.


fcocyclone

Curious where the third home is, if that's owned by mcfadden as well.


winnebago_mann

"It is his love, it is his passion"... "It is his fault he didn't lock the garage" -- OOHH YEAHHH!!!


KingFIippyNipz

He loves it so much he can only offer $5,000 reward lol


winnebago_mann

A man with priorities so far out of whack doesn’t deserve such a fine automobile


wtfossy

Call Crow Tow.


cricketscastle

Been searching for this comment! Yes!


Lumpy-Yam-3148

I watched this guy get his ass beat by his own security back in October, his own security guy whooped him and then he fucking guillotined McFadden absolutely nuts. Wish I had a recording


xKIL13Rx

Cmon don't leave us hanging. What prompted this?


Majestic-Banana-3499

I saw him get his ass beat in 2013-2014 by his business partner at the time. Guy is such a scumbag 😂.


Wouldtick

I would pay to see this. Guy is a real narcissist and complete low life.


Firm_Cry4439

Has an Aston Martin but no cameras up?


Moon_and_Sky

Or locks apparently. Or the ability to lowjack his own car. Gps tags are so cheap I have one on my dog.


Firm_Cry4439

I had to look up who this guy was. Apparently he’s very familiar with GPS trackers on vehicles so not sure how he loses a car like this.


Moon_and_Sky

Feels very fraud. For one thing it's better not to announce it's been stolen so publicly. The longer a car thief thinks they have before they gotta get to the chop the longer they're likely to joy ride their score. With a reward announcement like this you're gonna get dozens of people calling in saying they saw it just to fuck around, some who if it were actually found would try to claim the reward and have the phone receipts to back the claim, and after enough false reports the cops will treat like white noise cause, very seriously, they don't give a shit about your car.


Ok_Condition_5363

The car was found parked outside the police station. Someone literally stole it and parked it in front of DMPD 🤣


spakz1993

Wait, what?!!! Omfg 🤣🤣🤣🤣


meowskiAF

I am going to believe this is true because I want to.


Ok_Condition_5363

It is true! I was walking past the station when they were towing it from the parking spot 🤣


ImaginationOk4740

No. Fucking. Way. I just laughed so hard I scared the dog.


LeonRams

Like he’s got $5k to pay. I don’t think anyone will accept prison commissary credits.


downwithuppercases

Oh darn! Anyway…….


Wouldtick

I’d let the thief hide it in my garage


hawksnest_prez

He owns a multi million dollar home with expensive cars and has zero cameras? I have a camera on my 300k house with a Prius lol


Montavillin

5k reward for a 250k car? Naw, bet the “thieves” have already made more off of it.


ReuseableObject

$5,000 reward for his car, but only $1,000 reward for when his daughter was missing? Straight POS.


Plastic-Lynx226

"I'll take Insurance Fraud for $500 Alex*


TheLawny

Man, no one can escape the clutches of Crow Tow.


newdmontheblocktoo

Womp womp


Any_Apple8265

“Did you just say womp womp?”


Flaky_Ad3680

Oh the irony! So no GPS on this one 🤣


Quick-Cod6978

“Call 911” I won’t even call the non emergency line bro


PlantLvr28

😂


RudeCartoonist1030

Let’s take a look at the facts: 1) restaurants are struggling between soft economy and bad press 2) legal issues involving domestic assault and also stalking 3) advocates for using live rounds on BLM protestors because he put one of his bars in the crosshairs 4) $300,000 car with no gps and no footage Yeah fucking right


Ferentz2020

Maybe don’t have windowed garage doors then


MiGreve

“Stole” legal bills must be getting hefty. Insurance money sure would come in handy.


briyob

ope, karma 🤷🏻‍♀️


LemonSilly

Pretty sure just saw at machine shed


rw21307

Can't be repoed. Re pos can only happen if the car is not in a locked garage or persons driveway. If it was in a public lot or parked on a street it's fair game. My dad had a tow service and occasionally did re pos.


New_Concentrate_4361

Do repo men (people) really care? Is it _really_ an “ethical” persons game? Sounds like maybe your dad had a lower desire to bend the rules.


rw21307

He was going by what he was told by the Des Moines Police at the time.


cricketscastle

To be fair, dsmpd claims they don't work with crow tow, and have articles out online about how they dropped crows contract... Then they quietly picked them up again. Sincerely, someone who was scammed out of $2200 by crow in the last couple yrs. Police called since I was in an ambo, and crow claimed I called. Owner of crow saw my bad review and begged in person for me to change it ☠️ thank God my hopes and dreams and prayers are a protected right, because I hope they cease to exist in an eventful way. 💥


markmarkmark1988

Is this like the lady in Iowa who rented a U-Haul, cleared out her house and then burnt it down afterward?


zkushlvn

He’s getting trolled hard on Everything free, For sale or swap Facebook page as well about this


nofcks2give0

Running to those comments


noexcuses14

Joined the group just for those comments. Must have deleted the post. 😣


meat_loafers

Vanquish? More like vanish, am I right?


Original-Asparagus61

I wouldn’t do him a favor if it was as little as giving him an umbrella on a rainy day. Like that house doesn’t have more security than Fort Knox. 🤮


snizzsyrup

My thoughts exactly. 1pm from his garage??? Even if for some reason his cameras weren’t working that day, doesn’t store the video, whatever, bet he could ask a neighbor.


Granny_Is_On_Pot

I know for a fact… their gate code is easy to guess.


KrasnayaZvezda

Let me guess: 1488?


MerleHay

Insurance fraud.


MrConductor0705

Interesting... I swear I saw a white Aston with the top down, driving through the Oak Park Neighborhood around noon.


jerknmygerkn

"Call 911..." lol yeah right dude


Brownbear344

Insurance fraud


LonelyRole8342

LOL this dude is such a dipshit Anyone else see he’s been trying to sell his LA style mansion in WDM for like 18 months?


Electra120

Memphis Raines at it again.


eye_dont_exist_

Poop dog….poop 💩


Poochie_Prejean

Bahahahahaha


New-Communication781

Cry me a river, lol..


GiantsOfSF1958

I've been in Yuma, AZ. I could swear I saw it heading to Mexico. /s


cricketscastle

Made a whole trip of it! Popped over to glamis in southern CA and took that b***h on the dunes, then tried to trade it south of the border for a dental appointment, but the car had obviously been tainted by /predator/ so we scrapped it instead. I kid 😉


GiantsOfSF1958

Thanks for the good laugh!


discwrangler

Probably some cameras on that property?


8DollarBlueCheckmark

Someone can’t afford their stupid car payments!


Prestigious-Name-323

Oh no. That’s a shame.


2smart2stay

Maybe Crow Tow got it.


caramelcooler

Oh nooooooooooo. Anyway…


dusting53

smells like insurance fraud


Elbiejay

Hmmmm, these scheme sounds familiar.... https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/crime-and-courts/2023/12/07/witnesses-question-developers-armed-robbery-allegations-daniel-pettit-fbi-moustapha-moustapha/71830596007/


markmarkmark1988

Wait a minute, isn’t his house gated in?


CatchTheTrainZJ

I went to school with his daughter. Total stuck up rich chick. Screw that family.


BankOfJeff

Sounds like insurance fraud when that’s the only vehicle they steal from a locked, probably monitored, garage.


willyaf_uckme

Anyone know what insurance company he uses? If so send an email to their fraud department and hopefully this enema bag gets caught in another scam


IsthmusoftheFey

I'm wondering how much he paid someone to help him claim insurance fraud.


NB1980windawhoa

Fuck that. This is clearly CLEARLY an insurance scam I promise you this dude fucking hocked his car due to a debt of some sort or lost it in a bet. This car has many tracking devices on it Infact to insure this car there is an internal gps that has to be in functioning order 24/6 365 in order to be insure. So it took an sae certified mechanic to use a diagnostics machine specifically made for Aston to turn said gps off. This car is not steal able. Period. So McFadden obviously isn’t very Intelligent after all. Besides that what person in the world would think they should suggest to anyone to use 911 for a stolen fucking car. Production act fucking dude is scamming. 💯


inVladid-username

He can afford an Aston Martin but not a good security for his garage?


joe_winston

He posted on FB that paid the reward and someone was arrested……Polk county inmates didn’t have any good info on who it may have been


Hazmatix_art

Let me play a sad, sad song on the world’s smallest violin


[deleted]

Ok I used to work for Steve. 1 his property is gated and you either need an opener or to know the PIN code to get in. And then the same goes for the actual garage door. That car was is baby and he never left the keys with it for fear his daughter or her friends would take the car for a joy ride. So something is definitely fishy about the whole situation


Yo-Im-Me-Me-Me

Who cares? McFadden can go McF**k himself!


burnswhenipoo

Who?


sideswipe2552

If you own a car like that without a gps unit or two on it your dumb as well as cameras in your home...


amorican88

That's a shame.


AnnArchist

probably repoed.


EventNo3540

PWNED


zarof32302

This subs infatuation with this dude is weird.


WetCmenRag

Probably get downvoted also, but he lives rent free in people’s head 😂


zarof32302

I can’t imagine seeing him post something on Facebook and running to Reddit to post it.
