Editing Richard Martinez Paap (section)

== Adult life ==
Paap remained in Rotterdam as an adult. He moved between informal work, car-related deals, and minor criminal activity. He was often seen at parties, garages, bars, and older car meetups.

On 3 September 1992, Paap went to a party in Rotterdam with his cousin [[Johnnie Paap]]. The party ended after a fight started outside the building and police arrived because of noise complaints. Richard argued with the officers and repeatedly shouted "tering" during the confrontation.

On 21 April 1996, Paap was stopped in Rotterdam while travelling in a car that carried loose vehicle parts. He said the parts came from an old car that had been stripped for repairs.
