I found this article as a link on my gmail account. Apparently a man thieved a lawn mower, and later tried to sell it on ebay. The original owner of the mower auctioned for it and went by to check it out, recognizing it as his. Story is here : http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSTRE55O4YO20090625?feedType=RSS&feedName=oddlyEnoughNews&rpc=69 [b]What do you think of thieves? What about a story like this?[/b]

This is a really good discussion baby,and I am sure that a lot of different people have different opinions when it comes to this article,I am sure that some people think that the thief got what he deserved for trying to sale a stolen lawnmower back to the owner,and then I am sure that some people think it was just plain stupid and should have sold it to someone else,and I know that everyone is different,and no two people think the same way,and that everyone has different ideas,different opinions, and different preferences,and I remember when you told me about the story and I can not believe that the man stole a lawnmower,and then tried to sell it on Ebay because that is just plain stupid,and I think the thief got what he deserved for stealing the lawnmower in the first place,and I have not read the article but I might read it when I get the chance,and stories like this make me think that thieves have no common sense,even though they must have no common sense to steal in the first place because stealing gets you know where but caught,and I wonder if we will see anymore stories like this one,I love you with all my heart and soul,have a great day,good luck with all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

Yeah it is kind of funny to hear stories like that,and I am also glad to hear that the owner saw it and that it was taken care of,and I am sure it probably happens a lot even if no one knows about it,and there is not telling how many people use auction sites,but some people probably would still it from a county or a state and put it in the paper of another county or even another state,yeah desperate times call from desperate measures apparently even though it is silly,I love you with all my heart and soul,have a great day ,good luck with all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting Baby.

That is just plain awesome! What a surprise all the way around for both of them. I wish it could happen more often to these little weasles. A few years ago, while I was in the process of moving and my computer was shut down for a couple of weeks, someone hacked into my Ebay account and tried to sell a John Deere tractor. Unbelievable. When I was all hooked up and went to my Ebay account I couldn't log in. They shut me down completely. All in all, Ebay security thought something was wrong, don't know how and they couldn't tell me for security reasons. Somehow, they knew. It was all corrected of course within a few days but I sure did appreciate what they did. I don't know if they caught this person or not so I wish this type of stuff would happen more often.
