Frank,

I will keep an eye out on eBay. I have been doing a lot of hunting for various survey pieces and browsing some older items as well. Do you have any photos?

[Dave Lindell]

If you bought these with the intention of returning them to Frank would you be guilty of receiving stolen goods?

(I'm presuming Frank would reimburse you!)

You might want to notify law enforcement of your intentions before making the purchase. Then they could assist in the purchase and make the bust. Just don't pull an OJ Simpson maneuver.

Police called me this afternoon, they caught the thief and I am due to go in on Tue morning and Id my stuff. I'm hoping all is intact and in good shape. It sounds like he had about 3 car loads of stuff he robbed from a total of about 5 offices. I really thought I would not see my old equipment again.
Quick follow up by the police, and a dumb crook. A good outcome

Good news, Frank! Hopefully your things won't be tied up as evidence for too long.
