Watch out for stolen cameras

3 years 10 months ago #687890 by Robert Chen
A friend almost bought a camera on CL yesterday.  Met with a guy, the guy had originally told him one thing on the phone.  When he met the guy, the guy had boxes of cameras in his car. My friend didn't buy anything, however took a photo of the license plate of the guys car, and reported it.  Turns out the car was stolen!

Not surprised, I think we will see this as a big problem in oncoming months.  Just remember if it remotely looks too good to be true, walk and report if you can.

Good to know.   Speaking of the riots and looting, has there been any figure on total cost of the damage and looting that was done from all of this?

Not surprised.  I'm  disgusted with how people treated their communities and small businesses.   I know 2 people who's stores were destroyed and looted.

It's so bad, I can't even imagine what the total cost would be for all damage and stolen stuff.

Did you see footage from MN?  So bad.  So many businesses ruined.

Such a shame for all those small businesses.   Karma will get all those crooks.

At least all that crap went quiet.  Losers were destroying their own cities.

Stores should be posting inventory serial numbers and descriptions on boards like this so we know what has been stolen so we can be prepared.
