"Straps held together by duct tape"
Looks like the tag end of the straps were taped off so they didn't flop around, which is very common. What was missing from the story was how fast he was going, how far he was going, or what type of roads he was traveling down. I'm not making excuses or justifying what he did, but at some point, a prudent mind ought to consider the whole story. Traveling a few miles slowly on back roads with a friend tailing behind is different than getting up to highway speeds traveling across country.
I live in FL and sold an old raggedy 30' bow rider boat to a few guys in TN. They drove down, slapped a few tires on her and drove off, back up the interstate all the way home. Texted me when they got there to tell me they made it safely (I didn't know them at all). No lights, no spare tire, no license plate, no bearing check or greasing...just gone. 8 hours later, no one bothered them.
