Oh dear he shifted stuff quickly did he...oh well. C'est la vie if my stuff ain't there.

This is amazing!

So most of my stuff was gone after all.

There are probably other people who he traded with and unfortunately, unless we have information from PMs or with people he talked to (especially if it was locally or stuff traded over craigslist), some of that would not be traceable.

Yeah I guess I'm just going to chalk it up to experience. I would be incredibly angry if he hadn't got collared but since he has I can let it go.

Edit: Still that was over a year of army building, my first ever army I might add, scratch that still angry, bitter, disappointed.

I walking through this mess. Making headway. Killed 2 more boxes last night.

I wasnt involved in this mess but to think that "less than reputable person in discussion" wanted and tried to get "his stuff" back...

Kudos all around. Law is only enforced when the victims take action.

edit: oops sorry for the profanity. it just seemed so appropriate.

Jason, for your service to the community, call your local pizza joint, order whatever you want and then let me know how much it is ... I'll paypal you the funds.

I'll throw in a bucket of chicken wings! You've earned a Leeroy Moment for all you've done for Dakka.

Don't suppose there is any progress on this?

Not being pushy at all as this is all on the good graces of another person. Just bored and curious

I am at the point now where I think I have sorted out everything I can find. I have invited TraceofToxin to my house to double check everything and get a fresh set of eyes on the remaining piles. The plan is for him to come here on Tuesday the 28. Once that happens Ill be letting everyone know what I have and sadly dont have via PMs.

Thank you all for being patient.

Thanks for the update Jason

Dare I ask?

We'll have an update Tuesday, Cowen.

Ah sorry 28th, saw tuesday didn't see the date sorry. My bad.

Ok sports fans. Sorting and double checking is done. Thanks to TraceofToxin for visiting and getting some fresh eyes on this pile. PMs inbound to the members whos stuff I have nailed down.

Jason has done a great job, he's got everything sorted about as best as it can be. Sadly, it looked like Ahriman had already broken some things up, or the cops didn't get 100% of his loot. Luckily, people should still be getting the majority of their lots back. Cowen's army looked to only be missing a single model, as miraculous as that is.

Hey even if my stuff isnt recovered (although I think it was but Jason is working on that), both you guys have gone above and beyond in helping with this. I applaud you both.

I didn't do anything except check on Jason's work. He's the hero.

You but bet you sweet dakka he is! Good on yeah for all you've done for us Jason, and you too Toxin for taking a second look see, however small a contribution it was it deserves to be praised.

I have PMed all members but two. Centurionpainting will hear from me on Wednesday. I have emailed scud1703 directly.

Cheers, jason!

What happened to the scammer? Did the police take him in?

As someone that earlier moderated this thread--but ended up lurking it after seeing the events within--I would like to echo the Cheers to Jason.

Rarely do you see a great resolution (if any) to traders gone MIA--and even more rare do you see police get involved (this might be the first?)---but it would be exceedingly rare to see an individual step up, put in time away from his family/friends sorting out this mess for others. Way to go Jason--Nice work!

I know I got a message saying it had a load missing, I'm extremely grateful that isn't the case! Thanks Jason. I'm gonna figure out what to do with that stuff soon.
