      Hello, mr Haughton had never sold an animal and go back for it. He told people they couldn't take away any of his animals for they would come right back to his home for the care he provided.
      He would tell you to just try and take it away and see if you would get it to go away from him, or he would whistle and it would gallop right back to him. Original Huntums Ghut people know about that.

    If this report is true, it is further evidence of the many sick brain people that are living among us in the B.V.I. She deserve the just punishment for her action, but first have a sychologist check her brain. She needs spiritual conseling, and so do many of us, who think that we don't.

    The new owner has the vehicle transfer papers, title transferred to her in her name, with previous owner signatures on all. And, the previous owner got her money. The previous owner broke all the windows on vehicle when she drove it back to her place. CRAZY ... what this original owner doing??!! She owes this new owner the money back for the sale. ALL OF IT !!!!

    Something wrong why would the owner still have a key if everything was in place. All the money. Transfer Document properly signed.

    The transfer probably was not done. Her plates probably was still on vehicle. She probably signed the transfer papers in good faith along with a verbal agreement. Probably they agreed on a price person may have paid some and buyer was to pay balance by a certain date. The article says everything was in place but some thing is fishie. It's impossible that everything was done right and owner still have key.

    People can be stressed out but something is wrong.
    A story have 3 sides. Your side, my side and the true side.

      Yes there are three sides to the story .All in place . The previous owner has ANGER management issues . If I was the present owner I would : take an upscale rental
      Until she replaces EVERY glass ( for as long as the dealer takes to get them NO GLASS FROM SANTO ) The time it takes to put them in AND then I would claim for the $9000.00 cash and my Gucci chains that was in the vehicle . She playing STUPID she will learn to behave like a Jenny —-

    This is one nut case that needs clarification. She really didn't do that....did she? How did she think she would get away with that?

    I see lots of people laughing like it is a joke but like @Keys said, there’s probably more to the story than is reported. Please note that mental health is a serious issue and lots of persons are stressed and very few persons cope with well mental health issues.

    My people, it’s enough! Let us quit judging the young lady and quit with the mocking comments. As an earlier commentator said, we don’t know the entire story. If you’ve have ever been in a vulnerable situation or have ever encountered someone with a mental condition, you will know that having it downplayed or being mocked is one of the worst feelings in the world. What’s done is done. The matter is in the hands of the police. Let us not make a bad situation worse. If you can be anything - BE KIND!
