A local e-bay seller had a good deal on a Rohde and Schwarz, 500 MHz 4 channel. That was 1.5 months ago. Got a call form a an investigator saying the scope is stolen and property of the Navy. Well the call is legit and I'm now legally obliged to hand over the scope and hope Ebay or the seller will refund my money. --- End quote --- I'd imagine the seller is required to give you a refund. And they likely pointed the investigator towards you so they'll probably expect a call from you. |

Another thought came to me. Will the Navy take so much trouble to hire an investigator and spend on him/her? I don't know the value of the scope and when it was made. It might be worthwhile for them to go to this much trouble to hunt for it. Anyway your lawyer should be able to sort it out. |

NCIS would only pursue it as evidence to convict the thief. I agree it's all rather fishy. |

I can understand that an investigator would be hired to track down some expensive equipment, there are specialist asset recovery companies. What I am more skeptical about is that an investigator would expect people to just hand over stuff after being informed it is "stolen". Surely they would always get police involved, who would have a copy of a crime report detailing the serial numbers. I got ripped off on one auction, wondering if this will be another scam I have to watch out for. |
