or at least he told you he got it from someone else.. lol

we also had a guy pay someone to steal his Supra, gut and torch it, and take the audio equipment (about 5 grand worth of alpine and orion gear) for insurance fraud.
then he and his mother who was in on it, took the moeny and bought a twin turbo 300ZX, and had us install a new system in that.

shortly there after, the guy he paid to steal the car came in with the Orion amplifiers and wanted to know what they were worth (2250SX and 2100HCCA) so we matched the serial numbers to our copy of his old receipts, and called the police.
He lost his new cr, the system, and he and his mother went to jail.

We've had something similar happen before. One day, when we were busy, we had a Pioneer 5700 DVD indash stolen from us. The very next night, a guy came in looking for the wire harness and owners manual for the exact same radio. Fortunately, we still had the box, so we checked the Serial Number's, and sure enough, it was a match. We took the deck back from him, told him to leave, and never come back. Sad thing was, he got it off of someone on the street. He lost whatever money he payed for it.

Sadly for him, it was worth a trip to jail.
The mexican stole it from my car the night before, and walked in to fence it in my store.

That's classic I mean it sucks that happened to you but at least you got justice from it more than what most people get.

I see sooo much stolen stuff come into my install bay pretty regularly. I really hate doing it, but it's money for the store.

Ya shit happens.

I remember buying equipment from a junkie before... At first I didnt think much of it, then I figured out where it was coming from...

Needless to say, after my 3rd amp I got for $100 I said no thanks from there on out... Before he come and stole all the stuff he sold me...

My shop was in the hood, and I actually had a guy come in with a leatehr car case full of CD's and try selling them for $5 per CD. Yeah, like those weren't stolen....
