He didn't imply pvs are illicit, he said if you call the cops saying someone stole your personal vaporizer, and they ask what that is, and you explain it's an electronic cigarette, they'll send someone to your house, but you're about THIS low on their totem-pole as far as what's high priority and what isn't. As in, they're not going to burst down doors and send a tactical unit or even a detective over to this dude's house. UNLESS you guys really start hitting his local PD hard with phone calls. You all need to get unified and come up with a plan of action.

Actually if everyone who has a mod stolen from Chopperguys gets TOGETHER then the amount of items stolen equals a felony and that is pretty high on the list.

I dont know the specifics but I have been following this thread a bit. Sounds like you easily have over 2500 bucks in mods there.

I have sent 5 emails in the last 3 weeks. I have been attempting to get in touch with him and no luck. The reason I have not been pressing the lawyer/cops issue is I sent in a Little Chuck, that I did not even pay for.

That may not seem like a good reason to you but thousands in lawyer fees for an 80 dollar mod. I'll pass. Not saying I wouldn't love to have my Chuck back. I hope Chopper gets all the mods out to everyone but it is starting to feel like a lost cause.

That's what I said a couple of posts back. Simmering on the ecig forums is doing nothing to help you. You all should get organized, and start hammering away at the PD in his hometown. Or at least all of you come up with a detailed list of all the things stolen from this guy and start calling the FBI.

Whining about it here will do NOTHING. If you all want your mods back or at least see justice done, you need to stop bumping this thread to complain, but get in contact with each other, come up with a comprehensive list of items taken/not returned/solid numbers from monetary loss, etc., get it notarized if you have to, contact your lawyers, if you have them, and get UNIFIED. DO SOMETHING. Otherwise this thread is just a QQ thread and nothing will get done.

Guys, don't think your cases are too insignificant in the eyes of the law. The feds take wire and mail fraud very seriously. If even just one of you takes a few minutes to report your situation, they will investigate the infraction. It costs you absolutely nothing but a little time and you'll at the very least get some closure as a reward.

Once you get several of you together and contact the fbi and his hometown districts attorneys office then you wont have any legal fees

I'd say your cop friend is probably one of those who taze people for no real reason. Theft is theft; I would expect the cops to deal with it, not ask ME what they should do. There is PLENTY they can do...investigate. Take reports. In other words, they could earn their salary instead of making bone-headed statements about how there's nothing they can do when clearly there IS. Jebus....

Sounds like someone needs to take a note from their own avatar and keep calm, not berate people because they are passive.

Got an email from Chopper--He is starting to send whatever he can out asap. He was trying to get as much done as possible, but as fell short (summarized from his e-mail).

Any of you with mods out with him try and contact him again...this might be the start of resolving this.

He also said he is denied posting permissions here, that is why he hasn't been to this thread (his words).

Just wanted to try and keep what little information I get placed here for everyone.

Reading this a couple days ago it made me sick to even think of all the possible stomach ulcers, hair loss, and extra beers had due to the stress caused....

Glad to see Chopper seems to be trying to do the right thing, and I hope every single person gets back their mod. Nothing can be worse than a 100$ plus mod seemingly held in vaping limbo. I know I would of gone berserk.

I hope you get your mod back soon Sneaker. Kudos for bringing this issue to light in the first place. Who knows how much longer this would of went on if you hadn't.
