GPS Stolen, think I found it on Ebay...

I think this actually may work out after all, I just got the following e-mail from the detective working on the case:


--- Quote ---I received all the information that you handed in and have put it in the case file.  I have contacted the buyer of the GPS.  He and I have arranged to have the unit sent to me.  I have also interviewed the seller who is sticking to his story that he found the items at Maverick.  At this time I do not have sufficient evidence to say he didn't.  He is willing to pay the money back and make things right.  Thus far he has been cooperative.  I will review the case with the Logan Prosecutors office for possible charges.  I will keep you up to date as more happens.

Now, ultimately it would be great if the seller got in more trouble than just paying back the buyer, but it's still better than nothing.  I assume that once the detective gets the unit, it will eventually find it's way back to me, but he's never been 100% clear on that (he says in the above e-mail that "I have arranged to have the unit sent to me." but doesn't mention anything about me getting it back).

I really thought this guy was going to get away with it scott free, so this is pretty good news I think.
shardian:
I bet that detective will enjoy his new gps unit. :laugh2: :laugh2:

Seriously though, this has been a pretty neat story. What were the odds huh?
ChadTower:

The detective cannot give you the unit until he decides not to charge the seller with anything.  If he does, he needs it as evidence. 
Dartful Dodger:
It'd be nice if that turd had to sweat it out in front of a judge, but I'm glad you're getting your GPS back.

Keep us posted.

Nope i'm talking bout the small units u can pop onto the cars windshield on any car like th eTom Tom Navigators.

It's becoming quite common now they our touting it as a car phone for bluetooth aswell as a bluetooth speaker for your mobile aswell.

They are trying to combine everything into one i also believe (altho not sure) that a new option of having the persons phone number in the address book on the gps so you can call them if your being late or being able to call them so many miles/km from them to tell them your almost there so they hurry up.

It's really starting to take off

And congrats melarky hopefully he will get charged with stolen property if he found it shouldnt he have taken it to the police and the fact he deleted all the addresses hopefully they will give him a fine atleast so he's actually lost out on this whole thing
