Bike hits girl

Please stop this nonsense now.

Me and Natalie are good friends , you guys dont have a clue. She is a working mother with 3 kids , she currently works
3 caregiver related jobs.  

If you are truely interested in donating then contact the family with the info she provided above.   Ask for a phone number and discuss this
with the girls father....if you need pictures of her injurys its not likely the guy is gonna want your money though.
Seriously though, if you are skeptical then dont donate , I think this goes without saying anyways.

Now for the rest of you who just want to start some ####, i suggest you move along asap.

BV: We're not just trying to start crap here. We're trying to look out for each other and prevent fellow members from getting scammed.

How hard would it have been to add some links for a local news story for validation? This couldn't have happened without the police and news media getting involved. If it were my daughter, you can dam well bet that I'd have made this public in a big way trying to find the assh*le that did it.

All we've been asking for is some validation/proof.

The members of this board have helped MANY people in the past with both monetary, and non-monetary support. People give freely when it is a good cause, but due to the low-lifes on the internet that scam people, it makes it hard to trust those that we don't "truely" know.

I tried doing a search, in hopes of finding some corroberating information, but I cannot find it. Why not?
 
Okay...just got off the phone with the St.Cloud Times newsroom.

Gena could not find anything using Alexandra Albrecht, but she is going to talk to her other resources and see if she can find out any information on this. She will be talking to her Court Reporter, and the Police Liason.

If she finds anything, then she has my name, work phone number, and my work e-mail to give me any updated information. I post an update when I hear back from her.

I'm trying my best to prove this story is valid...bear with me

I'm with stkr00. If it's true then it is a truly sad event. And I will give generously. But so many a$$holes are pulling scams for money these days we are all a little hesitant. Bentvalve, why can't you understand our request for information about this. There should be a news paper story or something to back this up. Can they provide a link to a local paper or TV news channel for a follow up. If something like this happened to one of my kids I would spend day and night for as long as it took to track down this low life and then the news story would be about me mutilating or killing this a$$hole. Again, if it pans out I will be glad to help.

Do what you like, I know Natalie and know what she is about.

I would be shocked if I found out the story was bullshit.

In either case though, Stkr00, I have lost all respect for you. That "everyone is out to get me" attitude is going
to bite you back someday.
 
Good, well when the story is validated I expect you guys to give very generously.

For now I will stay out of it because I do not know the family involved nor was I there .
 
stkr00, I will still respect you in the morning. Wait, wrong email.

Bentvalve, have you not noticed how many different scams are on the net on any given day. All kinds from all over. I hope this did not really happen to this precious little girl. However, if it did then just provide some backup to the story. And I will be one of the first to help in any way. If you have ever read any of my post's about kids you would know I have a deep love for children. They are so innocent and trusting and rely on us to protect them and care for them. Please understand, you know these people, we don't, yet. Help us to know and understand them and their situation.

I cannot help you any further, as I have said Unicorn25 is a very good friend of mine and I know what she is about that is all I can do.

Do whatever else it is you need to do to feel comfortable with this.

And this is coming from the same guy that tried to start a bunch of crap with Cache about the members here donating to get his bike back.

I don't really care if you respect me or not. I'm just not going to give freely to everyone that posts up a message without verifying the validity.

I don't have a "Everyone is out to get me" attitude, I'm just cautious, and it has served me well over the last 40 years. If it bites me, then so be it, I'll learn from it.

Maybe we should have a board rule that if someone is looking for help, then they have to submit their request to the Board Administrator and Moderators before posting so that once it IS posted, we know that it has been reviewed and verified. That would save us all a lot of hassle.
 
My past problems with Cache have nothing to do with this nor are you even able to judge that situation because you dont know the whole story.

Anyways, as I have already said ...fine ..do what you like.

Damn is it so hard to see that it feels bad to have you guys sit and cast stones at my friends , even after I have stepped up and vouched for them?
 
Well as I said above ...I think this is the inapporiate place for this thread given that she is a new member here.

If I knew the persons involved id lend a hand but I cannot because I dont know anything about the incident nor do I know the people involved...this thread was the first time I read anything about it.



I agree in that she would need to provide the pertinent information and proof is anyone is going to help but my point is that firing off "SCAMMER!" so fast was not cool.
My bad BV, but I mistook your earlier post for something other than you had intended! To me it read like, You didn't know this person or any of the folks she was mentioning! So, it was at this time the Bug jumped in........ Now, that you've cleared this up there will be no more misunderstandings. The other deal is your business along with those involved! Bug wants to say straight out... Sorry Natalie.
 
Just so that no-one thinks I've blown this off.

I've got the St.Cloud Times investingating this, and also the Sauk Rapids Police Department checking their records.

I will post an update as soon as I hear anything.

Stkroo, you think its just that simple dont you? You have sucessfully derailed my good friends thread in which she was sincerely trying to help a friend of hers out.

I have been contacted by the father and everything has been explained to me...

Do you really thing police give out such information to total strangers? Uh no.

Thanks to you the father was contacted by the police today and thankfully was protected because child privacy laws prevent them from handing out this kind of information to total strangers such as yourself.

You owe my friend an opology at the very least, I will even admit that you got me going for a split second there but I know this girl , well enough that id marry her...I should have known better.

I dont have to cheat in life, I work a job and take care of myself and so does she.

I commend you for looking out for your fellow Hayabusa.org members but in the future you should know that its just not that simple...you cannot "Google" your way thru these kinds of things.
 
BV:

You do what you have to. The difference in the tone of your PM's versus the tone of mine clearly shows that you have taken this WAY to personal.

There are no child privacy laws that prevent someone from verify the truth of a story. Maybe the identity of the people involved, but not the story itself.

When I talked to the Chief of Police in Sauk Rapids, he told me that he had spoke with Mr.Albrecht and that there had not been any accident. Nor did the police department or Benton County Sherrif's office have and record of an accident of this nature. Nor did any of the local hospital have a record of treatment for her.

I guess...According to you...The Chief of Police, Curt Gullickson, was lieing to me both time HE called ME at work. Not when I called him, but when he took the time to dial the numbers and talk to me personally.

For verification, please call him yourself:
Curt Gullickson
Chief of Police, Sauk Rapids, MN
1-320-258-5340

I'm not going to apologize to anyone for trying to protect the members of this board.

If this were true, then why was it so hard for Natalie to provide the validation everyone asked for?

Everyone here can make up their own minds and believe what they want. I think they'll be able to see where the truth is.

Good luck with whatever comes of this.

BTW: I didn't derail her thread. She did that all on her own. This thread died the day it was posted until she made a new post on 10/23, then after no-one responded still, she made another post on 11/02. She got more attention in the last two day, than she got in the previous two WEEKS. The thread got derailed, because no-one wanted to help without being able to validate her story. She certainly didn't provide any.

WOW I must admit I am all for helping out. Especially after the offers I recieved with my situation. But if the Chief of Police said the dad denied it that is mind blowing. I have no probs with anyone but watch it BV these chicks on the internet can be predators. I had a buddy get dicked over hard by some internet chick that he knew so well.
 
BV, I have no intention of drawing your wrath, but as you said you work hard for your money. Well, so do I, and I imagine most of the people on this board. I have two small girls and would do everything possible, including spencing my last hard-earned penny, to track down whoever did this if it happened to me.

However, things really don't add up in my mind...this originally got posted Oct 23rd, using you as a reference...twice, in fact. Although you were used as a reference, there was no response when several members asked for your verification. No further information was sent until Nov 1st, at which point the only info posted is where we can send money?
rock.gif
Your first post was to say that you don't even know these people, then you attack stkr00 for trying to get verification and say that you know everyone intimately. That doesn't seem strange? And how did stkr00 derail the efforts when he didn't even post until Nov 2nd? It seems it was derailed back on the 23rd.

I'm sorry, as willing as I am to help people in these situations, her posts don't add up, your posts don't add up, and the whole newspaper, hospital and police story don't add up. I'm sorry BV, but I would have expected the chief to say, "Yes, it happened, but due to privacy issues, I can't comment any further." Having several officers as family and close friends, I've heard on more than one occassion how they are trained to deal with the press and people seeking info.

No I dont know these people but I know Natalie and I know she is straight up.


I asked Chad to respond in this thread, I got the following PM from him yesterday.

................................................
Re: Just for your information.
"All the contact information given by Natalie was correct; the address that was given is my address, she only had the best of intentions like she always does, to help out .and did not want for this to turn into such a huge blow out. I know how bad she feels, as I’ve talked with her. Due to child privacy laws information can not be released to third parties, without consent of the parent, hence the reason there is no information available. The police contacted me this afternoon and this matter is now closed. I have contacted the moderator to have the thread removed. If you would like to discuss this matter further please feel free send me a message on here. Thanks Chad "
........................................................
 
At this point , I just want to know what the deal is myself.


It all comes down to this for me though, this is my friend who I trust , I have been a long time member here so I expected
my vouching to be enough.

Apparantly it is not good enough....fine...maybe I am part of an elaborate scam myself.  I dont know anymore but I know that id like to get to the bottom of this now because I dont dig what has happened here at all.

If its a scam then I will aplogize and chalk this up and a good experience for myself...i'll not likely back up anyone again, if it is not then I expect healthy donations from those calling foul.
