Just bought my stolen saw back

[MaddBomber]

Back in August I was robbed and 5 saws were stolen, including my treasured Jonsered 2065, which my father bought brand new in '98.
In 2008 I rebuilt the top end using an NWP 52mm BB kit, which I mildly ported myself (thank you arboristsite).
I truly love this saw and it has witnessed more father-son bonding than anything, except Budweiser.
I was devastated when it was stolen.
So weeks past, and I decided to replace it. I've been cruising eBay for a decent 2065/71 or 2165/71. Then Monday, I found it... MY SAW for sale, being shipped from two towns away!! There are very distinguishing features that cannot be coincidence.

So I contacted my assigned detective, explained the deep sentimental value of it, and with her blessing, I bought it. It just arrived!
Upon positively identifying it, the detective is already moving to get a subpoena and a warrant.
The return address doesn't exist, and the name is from a 78yo lady that died in January 2018! This could topple a sizable crime ring.
I'm just happy to have my favorite saw back.

Good. Now let's hope the cops do something.

Well done for bringing it home!

Good. Now let's hope the cops do something.

Seems like they are.... though it could be lip service.

Just an FYI; I only ever used the 36" B&C once, for a massive 4ft red oak. It normally wears a 20" or 24".
I think this is the perfect time to completely rebuild it.

I remember when my son was 6 he had his new dirt bike stolen from our garage, called the police gave a report and was told that it was probably already taken apart and being sold.
I scoured the neighborhood and low and behold this piece of crap kid actually pulled out in front of me on it, (good thing he didn't figure out the throttle restriction screw was still in)I lost my mind and yelled for him to stop but he tried to out run me so I clipped him with the big tires on my truck.
Needless to say I got it back and to add insult to injury he had to pay restitution for the damage to my sons bike!

That ebay seller has an awful lot of used tools for sale.

Wonder if most of their inventory is to hot for a pawnshop to handle. Sure list a lot at full blown retail prices.

Is this yours too same seller

 

[farmguywithasaw]

I’m going to start engraving my name on my saws. My grandmas neighbor was a HD mechanic and had tools stolen but anything engraved with his name was left

If you do a buy it now, will he allow you to pick it up? Can police contact ebay for ip address? Could paypal refund your money and get a response from seller? I would make it my mission, looks like miss may have a lot of stolen items for sale in North Carolina.

Wow man. Congrats on getting it back. I remember your post reporting them stolen. Felt bad, especially about your Dad's saw as you can't truly replace something like that. Hope the cops actually do something.

 

[shadco]

Well done.

Very cool you recovered it and I hope the crooks get what’s deserved.

People laugh at me when I say there’s a large scale fencing operation around here. Seasonal places get absolutely cleaned out during the off season and nothing is recovered. Only two pawn shops that aren’t very large so not getting dropped there. And doesn’t usually show up online.


My wife’s aunt had a trailer (a rather rough homemade trailer) stolen out of their yard. Three months later it showed up online about 90 miles away. She called the PD local to the trailer’s location. They went out and got the trailer with the response “we know that guy quite well” but I don’t believe he ever was prosecuted.

Lmao total piece of sh*t person!!!!!

Btw that is a damn good lookin saw, I’m glad you have it back

Look at all the toner cartridges!!! Not only are they stealing from people they are stealing from stores! Shoplifters and B&E thieves.

You should offer to buy a whole bunch of stuff and say you need it in the next day. Shipping won’t make it in time so offer to pick it up and get an address.

Then go and burn that house down and do everyone in the world a favour!!

Thats great you got the saw back. Even though the situation sucked. At least you got it back. Cant put a price on something with sentamental value.

Now i hope the cops catch that retard that stole your stuff and lock him away.
