Hillsboro retirees head to court in a bitter dispute over $180 fishing reel

Hillsboro retirees head to court in a bitter dispute over $180 fishing reel: South Florida Sun-Sentinel: "Two residents of the Hillsboro Island House, former business associates who made hundreds of thousands of dollars together selling condos, are battling in court over a fishing reel.

Yacht owner Jerome Holbrook, 69, and retiree Vincent Tursi, 71, want a judge to decide who is the legal owner of the $180 Shimano TLD25 reel. Holbrook said he lent Tursi the reel and wants it back. Tursi insists Holbrook gave it to him as a gift and has refused to turn it over. The two have known each other about five years, and have been fighting over the Shimano for months.

'It's all down to principle. I want the reel back,' an irritated Holbrook told Broward County Judge Louis Schiff this week. 'What did I say and what did I do to make him think I was giving him that reel?'"
