This is insane - I think I found one of my stolen things....

[primesuspect]

I haven't purchased anything from Dell small business since March... It's been a while.. I logged in tonight to check my account and update my address and lo and behold I see that an order has been placed on July 26th, 2004 (a few days ago) .. Well, it certainly wasn't me..... So I'm like "wtf mate" and I click on it.

Turns out it was a warranty part (net 15 replacement) for some unspecified piece of equipment. It got shipped to an individual in Plattsburgh, NY.

I do not know who this person is. Whoever he is, he sent a package to Dell (probably the defective part) and sent it AS SARCNET INDUSTRIES, INC (my company name)..... I wasn't aware that I had a Plattsburgh, NY branch office.

So now, I am almost positive that this dude has one of my stolen pieces of equipment (remember the big robberies from last year?) .... It's either -tk's laptop or one (or both) of my 19" flat panels..... I called the guy just now and got an answering machine "Hello this is the ortloff residence..." so it's just some house....

Who lives close to this guy? I WANT MY **** BACK.

Oh this guy is so ****ing nailed. I am so fired up.

:rarr: :rarr: :rarr:

[Camman]

Wow dude you need to call the cops, that's gotta be like some sort of mail fraud or something to be stealing **** then requesting replacement parts on it, you totally gotta nail this guy.

[primesuspect]

omg plattsburgh is so far upstate it's closer to ottawa than to NYC.. I was hoping to send guido...errr.. kwitko over there with a baseball bat... He could have tiny..errr PanzerKW there with him as backup....

[Thrax]

BURN HIM PRIME!

[Nomad]

You catch him you might be able to catch some other stuff.

[citrixmeta]

omg good luck prime!

I do hope the boys in blue catch him, burglars are almost as bad as virus writers.

[Templar]

I should call right now :) Bet I'd wake the house up.

[Dexter]

DUDE WOW!! How dumb is this guy??? Using your account to RMA a part?? If they catch him, you have got to get this written up an a newspaper, one of those "stupid criminal" type stories!!!

Haha, it's f*cking awesome he turned out to be stupid enough to try and RMA stolen equipment. This is great! By nailing this guy you might even be able to get ALL your stuff back!

What did the police tell you?

[Jimborae]

Best of luck mate. I hope they catch the dumbfvck cos he deserves it. If not, then call in the A Team.

[dragonV8]

Sincerely hope it is as it appears and you get your gear back. This is really unbelievable.

You mean the S-Team. :D ;D :rarr:

[mmonnin]

Hahah thats crazy. Hope you get em Brian.

[Straight_Man]

Seriously, good luck! In fact, would let Dell know what is going on also. Let's see.... Telecommunication-vectored fraud with an ID Theft??????? FBI, since once this is carried across state lines, they also have jurisdiction??????

[Kwitko]

I'm sure that me, PanzerKW, Big Petey, Little Petey, Regular-Sized Petey, Joey Bagadonuts, and Nicky Potatosalad could take a little road trip up to Plattsburgh.

[kanezfan]

isn't it possible this guy bought the lappy from the guy that stole it? i mean the thief could have told him that should anything go wrong with the lappy to call dell and tell them he was from sarcnet.

[maxanon]

Good luck Prime. The idiot deserves everything coming to him. Imagine the gall.

[KingFish]

Even if he bought the stolen equipment he's in possession of stolen property, which is a crime in most, if not all, states. It'll possibly lead to the culprit if that's the case. Ya know, for twenty dolla's we can have his legs broken and still get a little change back. Hope it turns out well for you :)

KF

[madmat]

Recieving stolen property carries pretty close the same sentance as stealing it in the first place and if he recieved it he knows who took it. The cops will use the fact of it carrying the close penalty to extract the info they want about the real culprit so either way it's a good thing, either this scumball did it or knows the scumbag(s) that did do it.
I hope they get the idiot(s) responsible and nail their sack(s) to the wall

[Straight_Man]

Me too.... Brian deserves a big break on this one. But, he need to let Dell know someone bought something using HIS account so that Dell can set up security and only ship to his office or a place he designates, or sells to only cards where the ship-to address is his address as well as the bill-to.

In other words, make sure an ID Theft check is done also, and further ID Theft prevention is done.... Anyone who acessed the info on that laptop, if it had Brian's credit info on it, could play all sorts of games, or sell the info to someone who could do so. If his account has a PIN on it and that PIN could be compromised, change the PIN to the account, credit card and\or Dell account.

My guess is this guy MIGHT have used a drop ship ability on the Dell account to get the part shipped to Plattsburg. That account needs to be code-worded or PIN-verified or security question authed for dropship to happen. And Dell needs to know they need to protect the account, and if a CC was used, the CC bank providing the CC also needs to have a way to do this.

This is at least TWO crimes and is probably more like four: theft, fraudulent purchase (interstate because of ship-to, possibly WITH telecomm fraud involved), interstate transport of stolen goods, and ID Theft acspects possibly could get involved if accounts involved are not secured), go after the idiot(s) who did each for each or both if they are the same person(s) doing both. The Interstate stuff, the FBI needs to be involved in. Dell will co-operate with the FBI as far as providing the evidence of sale of part. Add federal charges to local and state level charges. People get real co-operative real quick when total time and money penalties heap up real big.

[QCH]

Good luck Brian... I hope this turns out with a nice CONVICTION!!!!

[Lincoln]

That idiot is toast. :aol: w00t for stupid criminals.

[QCH]

One possibility that I would like to suggest.... Dell screwed up. I have seen Dell ship PC's to some place else beacuse of mess ups with data entry...

But I'm sure that Police will cover that...

[kanezfan]

i'm just suggesting that the guy didn't know it was stolen in the first place. he probably knew though, and he was probably involved in the theft to begin with. too bad i don't live in NY, I'd volunteer to pay him a visit.

[CB]

Wallalloo!

(that's my battle cry)

[TheBaron]

gimme an update!!!

[entropy]

Haha this is awesome! This guy must be way dumber than I could've ever imagined. As Bill Engvall would say, "Heeeeere's your sign!".

[Jimborae]

I wonder if this guy ever browses Short-Media??????

[Morpheus[xXx]]

Just another note for ya, you may want to call Dell and let them know, if you haven't already. That way we can put a red flag on the account until the matter is resolved.

[skyman]

Just in case, you can call Dell and make sure they have your correct address for the RMA.

[Clutch]

Wouldn't it be great if the meet in NYC took place and we all went to his house :Rocker:

I really hope if this is the correct guy, that he gets busted big time and get the book thrown at him. I wish you nothing but the best of luck Brian. If you need me to make 4:00a.m prank calls just let me know bro.

[fatcat]

I'm sure that me, PanzerKW, Big Petey, Little Petey, Regular-Sized Petey, Joey Bagadonuts, and Nicky Potatosalad could take a little road trip up to Plattsburgh.

dont forget me, only 192miles north. lets got get him/her/it/thing

[Missileman]

Well I wish I was home now. I grew up just outside the "burg" as it was known. We had a dairy farm just outside Saranac Lake there on the map. My sister and parents still live there. I haven't been up there myself in 15 years or so.

And its a LONG drive from NYC to get up there. Vermont, Ottawa, Montreal are all a lot closer. If you called the cops in the burg which one of the two was on duty? :) I imagine it has grown a bit since I left there in '72.


Good Luck on gettin him or the real culprit who sold it to him. People up there used to think everybody was up front and honest. Hell we never even locked the doors. Was really a straight up kinda place way back.

[muddocktor]

Brian, I really do hope that you can get this sorry asswipe thrown in the big house to be Bubba's girfriend for several years. :mean: I can't stand a ****ing thief myself and I know that if it was me, I'd want to kneecap the bastard with my 10 gauge (no rifling grooves to check that way ;) ), but putting him in federal prison would be almost as satisfying. And since your property was carried across state lines and was part of grand theft, I'm almost positive that it comes under the jurisdiction of the FBI.:)

[Guyute]

Man, I used to live in Montreal- 90 minutes away on a slow day. I'd have loved to help.

I'd recommend this guy to the living side of the Darwin's for this little boner. what a moron. That is like a guy who was stealing all of the tax refunds from my Fraternity house and signing his own name on the endorsement. Took the bank and Police, oh, about 8 seconds to pin it on him. And he was on probation.

[primesuspect]

Just heard back from Dell five minutes ago.

IT IS THE LAPTOP. It has been confirmed. The ******* just got a brand new replacement LCD panel for it... OMG I'M FUMING...

Hooooo I can't wait to go to the police department tomorrow and file this report. omg.

[Geeky1]

Why did you hear back from Dell at 3am?

[Thrax]

It's closer to 3 PM in India. ;)

[Geeky1]

Oh. Yeah. Forgot about that. Which reminds me... if I end up with a Dell XPS, I'm gonna need to work on my Indian accent for when I need to call their support department. :D

[Geeky1]

See thrax, see what you've done? Now that you've reminded me about Dell's Indian tech support, it got me thinking. And it turns out that, as incredible as this seems to me, there are in fact people that haven't heard "Welcome to India". So, of course, me being, well, me... I had to revive it (http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17795). And now I have it stuck in my head. Again. Thanks to you. Congratulations thrax, yuo get teh F.

UPDATE:

Got the final report, down to the smallest detail filled out with the front desk officer at the DPD 5th precinct. Next step: Wait for a detective from the 5th to call me and set up an appointment. sorry, it'll be probably a couple of days until the next update :(

But on a side note, the officer who took the report was laughing and shaking her head at the utter stupidity of this dude... :D

Very sweet news Brian. So can we make prank calls to this ******* now or later? hehe

[KingFish]

Give it three days and burn the phone lines up to the detective division. Don't wait for them to call you. Have case number in hand and ask to speak to the detective assigned to your case. It shouldn't take more than a few days to have a detective assigned to it. Due to manpower issues at departments around the country, it's "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". I couldn't stress that enough for those filing reports at our department and from what I'm told at other departments it's the same. Unfortunately, many times the only way to get progress is to ask for it repeatedly. If not, you may find yourself waiting a long time.

KF

[oCoMiK]

Just my two cents...

I'm glad to hear that B might actually get some of his stolen equipment back. He definately deserves it considering how many times this has happened to his business.

I would also offer up the suggestion, as unsolicited that it may be, that at this time no one knows definitively the suspected individuals level of involvement in the crime, if any.

I am aware of instances where individuals have sold equipment that were still under warranties that were non-transferrable. They informed the purchaser that if they needed to use the warranty service they would have to claim they were an employee of the registered organization. I'm only suggesting that there maybe be a plausible explanation why this individual had the equipment and used the SarcNET name.

[DOSMAN]

That's wonderful news. Best of luck to you. We all definitely want a detailed story about how this ends.

[primesuspect]

Ocomik, I am of the same mind. I really don't think some shlub from a small town in upstate new york had anything at all to do with the robberies. At most, he is probably at fault for being kind of naive. In a way, I feel bad because he will probably just eat the cost of whatever he paid for it, but it's not my problem. :-/

[DOSMAN]

If he knew about it or not, the guy wasn't that bright to not be able to spot stolen equipment.

[maxanon]

He may ebe able to point out who sold it to him. And if said that it was from a truck/alley/etc, then he knew it was stolen and deserves punishment.

[CB]

There was a laptop store here in Cincinnati called 'AAA Laptops'. The guy who owned the place was real nice, and he was always willing to negotiate prices with me. Whenever Sticky51 or I needed a laptop or laptop stuff, we would go there, cause of his good service and prices, and if we met someone who asked us about good laptop deals, we would refer them to AAA. His bussiness was doing very well.

Then, about a year and a half (or so) ago, he was arrested, and all of his merchandise was seized. Turns out that it was all hot. Nobody had any idea.



Of course, he wasen't dumb enough to tell us to use some other company's name for the waranty... He just sold everything 'as is'.

[RADA]

OK Prime, we need a thief-NOOB update!!!

[primesuspect]

stolen laptop update:

I talked to the Detective today. She said that he probably didn't actually steal the laptop, that he probably bought it. Therefore, since we have no proof that he was the thief, it might be hard to get him on theft. However, he SIGNED for a package and represented that he was from Sarcnet Industries, Inc. which IS fraud. Therefore he has not only committed fraud, but he has at the very least accepted stolen property, and since he signed as SARCNET, he probably KNEW it was stolen.

He has committed fraud across state lines (ouch), at the very least. The detective is going to talk to the legal folks to find out exactly how we should pursue this. She'll be calling me tomorrow. More updates as they come.

[Camman]

question, kinda OT, but, if you unknowingly accept stolen property, can you still get in trouble? Like if somebody sells you something and you didn't know it was hot, can they still bring like action against you or do they just seize the stolen property.

[GnomeWizardd]

they seize it thats about it

[oCoMiK]

Camman,

As former Air Force Law Enforcement, your answer is a resounding "YES" to both parts. These are Federal Laws, so it applies to both civilians & military members.


You can be charged with receiving stolen goods. It falls under "ignorance is not an excuse" aspect of the law.
Any stolen property you have will be confiscated, with NO reimbursement to you.

[Camman]

haha, no I didnt do anything illegal :) just curious

kinda sucks that you can get in trouble, there would be no way to know really

[primesuspect]

When you buy something stolen, you almost ALWAYS have to have at least SOME idea that something is fishy... Generally if it's too good to be true...... :eek3:

[muddocktor]

And since this asshat was getting warrantee work done under the Sarcnet name, he had to know that the laptop was hot. I hope he burns in jail with Bubba massaging his prostate for several years; I can't stand a thief. :rarr:

[LawnMM]

Don't call him. Call Dell, and call the police. I'd start with the cops and talk to them about how you should pursue it. Tell them what you found, tell them where you think it is, they'll tell you how to go about getting your stuff back. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT call the guy who has it. He may be aware it was hot merchandise and he may not, you don't know. I suggest you avoid contact with him until the police say otherwise.

As for stolen property, he has to know it was hot. If the person sold it to him with warranty info, numbers to call if something broke, etc etc...chances are it could have appeared to be a legitimate sale. Thats nothing you can worry about now anyway. That comes later. For now, contact your local police department.

*Edit* Seems you've done alot of that, good job! Just saw the "calling him now" bit and I was compelled to respond NO!!! immediately =)

[mmonnin]

If it was sold at a normal price how would you know?

[primesuspect]

If you bought it from some dude at a flea market and he said, 'It's still under warranty, but you have to say you're from sarcnet industries cause blah blah blah" then THAT'S fishy... All I'm saying is that there's almost always something wrong that a little voice in the back of your head would say "gee, maybe there's something wrong here...." but then your "deal" instinct kicks in and says "no, this guy seems genuine. I just got A REALLY GREAT DEAL"... You know what I mean....

[Camman]

I get what you're saying, all I'm saying is well look at the ridiculous email scams people fall for, if they fall for that type of stuff, some sort of 'deal' where a guy says like he's selling computers for his company and a warranty is under their name, etc. People could easily fall for it just because they're gullible or trusting

[CB]

and remembery my story about AAA?... I bought lots of stuff from that guy, and I had no idea..


of course, he didn't try to sell them with the warranty...

[GHoosdum]

and remembery my story about AAA?... I bought lots of stuff from that guy, and I had no idea..

This makes me think of that insanely good deal your dad got on that mini-P4 system from the place that went out of business. It is a deal that's too good to be true, but I didn't even consider it a possibility until now. Well, really, I still don't think it's a hot item, but the thought hadn't even entered my mind until reading this thread...

Update:

Jon bought it last year off ebay from a guy in PORTLAND, OREGON :eek:

how it went to portland is still up in the air until the investigation continues.

He paid $800 for it on ebay. I feel sort of sorry for the guy, but hey, that's the breaks.

Be forewarned, folks. When buying used equipment, make sure you call the OEM to find out if the laptop is reported stolen before you complete the deal. This guy is out $800 now because WE ARE GETTING THE LAPTOP BACK :woowoo:

That's right, the plattsburgh police have recovered it and it will be en route to us this week. Omg how often does something like this happen :D

Ah the beauty of the internet (and automated systems). Glad to see you got your stuff back. Just 2 stupid questions. Did you collect insurance one the theft? If so, do you have to notify the company?

Sorry to ask it, but it happened to a buddy of mine (stolen car, insurance gave money for new one, old car found and returned, insurance asked for money back, found out the craptitude related to depreciation the hard way).

In the Uk, once the insurance has been paid out, any recovered property belongs to the insurance company. It's then upto them if they let you keep the stuff, or sometimes you can buy it off them at a good price.

I am impressed that you are getting your LT back. If the same was to happen here you probably woul not get the police to investigate. And if they did they would hold the LT for evidence for a zillion years....

Thats awesome that your getting the stuff back! Nice work there on the investigation as well!

I hope you can trace back to the thievs and eventually get some restitution for all of it.

Although getting full restitution in these situations is a rarity, as the thieves seldomly own any valuable assets to sieze. But at least they will be off the streets for a while, preventing them from doing it again for a while.

Good luck prime!
