wow this is really weird. i didn't expect to find my own bass on ebay when i was just looking at prices for stuff. who ever put a big picture of the serial number on there without editing it is an idiot.

if you filed a police report with the serial number, and the police contact eBay, they'll work this out in pretty short order.

Wow! Good for you.

I had four our my windsurf boards stolen off my van one night and I never found a trace of them. That was 10 years ago and I still keep an eye out for them today, always wondering who got them.

Glad you're getting your gear back.

Hope you get your stuff back.

I've never seen even a trace of my stolen gear; all though none of it was particularly valuable (compared to what i have (and insure!) now) it would be nice to have it back, for sentimental reasons.

Awesome! What a great stroke of luck. I hope the bastige(s) who stole it get theirs.

That's amazing! I'm sorry to hear that your bass was stolen, but it sounds like you have a solid resolution, at least with finding the thief and getting him or her punished! I say make an example of this lowlife. Press charges to whatever extent is possible.

Please let us know if you get your axe back.
Good luck,
Joel

Hi.

Glad to hear You'll get your bass back.

And even happier (no offense) that scumbags like that will be inside looking out.

Takes karma and justice into a whole new level I think.

To be honest though, waiting stuff to "cool down" for a month, those idiots had it coming sooner or later. Good thing it was sooner, and You're the one who got them busted and got your stuff back.

Regards
Sam

Those are some fond childhood memories...

"Me and my dad used to break into the neighbor's houses and steal their stuff. Good times"

This is where the Chinese have it right. Shoot them.
