mr2mk1g 10 #28 May 21, 2004 Arange to come look at it. Say he wants to try it on to see if it fits. Turn up with the cops. Simple as that. The cops should be interested if he points out to them that it's like $4000 worth of stuff brand new and the serial number can prove it's his. If they know they have a cast iron handling stolen goods charge on that $ ammount it's worth their while. Or just have the cops do it for him. If he wont meet see if E-bay will give the cops the sellers adress so they can just turn up unannouced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
