This may be the Cosmic Joker's way of telling you never to mail a cherished item to a stranger ever, for any reason. Ever. I hate the Cosmic Joker. I take hits from his deck all the time. That, and his buddy Murphey. If I ever met Murphey, I'd punch him square in the face.
Best of luck, taking on Murphy, he would duck, you'd land up punching the lamp post behind him, break your wrist and hand in three places, the guy driving past in his van watching drives into the car in front, which in turn knocks over the old lady crossing the street... Murphy Wins.

I admire the restraint and patience you all have, but seriously you have to take Action on this matter, being Nice clearly isn't working.

If you read through the entire thread you would know that yes, folks do have his physical address and no, confronting him to get the mods returned does not work...it has been tried. Unless you can get a court order for their return and an LEO to go out with you to serve it just knowing where he lives will not help.

Ok things have been brought up before but what has been done. I know if I were affected I would have filed mail fraud, and contacted the local police and possibly the FBI.

I've had 2 people try to rip me off over the internet and both times have recovered my cash.

You have to act and by not doing so you are simply enabling this guy.

exactly!

if this had been me, I would've done something about it a long time ago...I had an incredibly expensive guitar stolen one time...I scoured the net, my brother scoured the net, we found it, contacted the police and that was that

granted, this is a bit more complicated...but that shouldn't deter you...there are people here with hundreds of dollars tied up in this and that can't be ignored

unfortunately, this is how people "learn lessons" in an age where everyone is connected...by losing money and losing nice things

I'll tell you what I've learned from this whole thing...I'm NEVER under any circumstances spending good money on an internet related service unless the business is reputable, accountable and has a good track record...

I know that for every story like this, there are hundreds of good ones but for me, personally, it's just not worth it...these people never saw this coming

guys like this ruin the possibilities for honest, hardworking people in this community and its just a crying shame

Too right!
It has far reaching implications and this community being as open hearted as it is doesn't deserve to be treated so badly.
Seeing just how many pv's Chopperguys has in his possession is scary enough, I understand he may have extenuating circumstances but a post dropped in every couple of weeks to let people know what's happening with Their gear and that all is still well wouldn't go amiss and Owners wouldn't feel as if they've been Had.
There is no excuse for such bad communication, not for this length of time.

Geez,that matter is still ongoing?

I guess he still has huge personal problems...thing is iirc,most stuff is in various stages of refinishing so you would get what they are right now....but I agree,its time to recover whatever is left,stop talking about it and call the police for God's sake.

Feels like everybody is waiting on everybody to make the 1st move at this point.

I agree. Please don't jump down my throat, I HAVE read the whole thread. I know you guys went to his house. But I agree that it seems like everybody is waiting for somebody else to make the first move. I used to work at a place that was similar. There were a bunch of lazy(not saying you are lazy, just an analogy here) people that never wanted to work. So they would always wait for somebody else to do the things they didn't want to do. Problem was, nobody wanted to do it, and it would end up never getting done, and I was the one that usually did it. If you guys keep waiting for somebody else to take serious action, it's never going to happen.

Please don't think i'm trying to be a jerk, i'm not. Infact i'm very, very ...... off at this guy and I never even sent him so much as a 510 atty. I've experienced my fair share of similar situations and I completely understand, but just know that somebody has to step up here.

I understand you're between a rock and a hard place but it's time to look at any and all possibilities now. One Darwin is simply not even close to making amends, and i've dealt with people like him before. They're con artists. Nothing more. They all do a little something like that to ease people's worries, or they will try to please the people they view as the biggest threat. It means, NOTHING.
