Stolen Bag and Discs on Ebay?

[jedwards]

I sent the following to the seller:

The items in your auction have been confirmed to be stolen.
You should man up and contact the rightful owner.
If these items were bought in a thrift shop, I am sure he will reimburse your costs.
If this auction is allowed to continue and you sale "known stolen property" you are committing a criminal act.
The owners name is Sean Dacosta who lives Oakville, his number is (xxx)xxx-xxxx.
We hope you do the right thing in contacting him.

Uh....I believe he said NOT to contact the seller?!?

I think they wanted us NOT to contact the seller.

I am poking at you a little, but they did say not to contact them.

All those posts came within 10 minutes, I didn't even see all the other replies!

Smooth move exlax.

Well, hopefully that doesn't blow it for the Sean. Maybe the seller will be too stupid to take it down and will sell it anyways...

 

[waynewf]

Awesome thread...good job guys!

 

[skinner21]

the weird thing is that the seller seems like an experienced ebay seller. Maybe he is about to get busted for selling a ton of stolen goods. If you guys put someone in jail for a really long time, I will die a happy man.

Back off a bit.
That was sent earlier this morning.
No need to hammer me now.
Everyone here has concluded that the seller is the thief. We should give this guy (the seller) the opportunity to make this right.

The problem is, if the seller decides to cancel the auction and disappear, Sean won't be getting his discs back. Then it makes finding them even harder...

The seller has had many sells (with a good rating) on ebay. He has sold to many people who has his addy. He is not gonna go into hiding over this.

I do agree people have assumed the guy selling is the thief . . . now I know it is illegal to sell stolen property and there may be no way to tie this seller to the actual thief (assuming he isnt it) . . . but what are the odds on a guy with good feedback on ebay and what looks to be a reseller of sporting goods and stuff actually stole this stuff? I know there are alwasy exceptions but the seller with either be going to prison or he will be out the cost of what he already spent to acquire these things so either way he got screwed so take it easy on him.

NO! didn't you read the posts DO NOT CONTACT THE SELLER. The sting has been set up

oops I guess I need to read all of the posts before "hammering you"

 

[Swisher Streets]

The guy selling it could easily say he found it in a trash can at a park while looking for pop cans.. if nobody saw him steal it then you could say about anything.

I completely agree with this. When I originally posted this, my main intent was to make sure that the original owner got their discs back. That was the main reason I was trying to get ahold of him. From looking at the sellers other items, he sells a lot of sports goods. He could just be a guy buying stuff from the local thrift store and reselling on ebay to make a little money. Hopefully it will all get sorted out in the next few days and we will know the truth behind the story.

Amen. That's what really matters. That the Canuck gets his discs! Not that I want a true thief to go unchecked but at this point we really don't know the whole story.
