Carrie financed the purchase of a lawn mower from Riding Galore and signed a promissory note and security agreement covering the purchase. Riding Galore did not file a financing statement. Carrie, in need of money, had a garage sell. Mickey bought Carrie's lawn mower. Mickey was unaware of the history, with respect to the security agreement, of the lawn mower.

Mickey also bought a big screen TV from Better Buy Store. The TV, while in inventory at Better Buy Store, was subject to a security interest in favor of City Bank.
