Fantastic news! I hope it isn't trashed. Always good to hear when special things come home.

Nothing has been returned yet. I'm hoping the person who has it does the right thing now that they know what they have. They bought it without knowing the history. Now they know.

All right All,
So here's the scoop.
Today I was contacted by someone who said they bought a reel on ebay sometime in 2018(the reel was stolen in 2017). Saying it was too pretty to fish, they turned it into a shelf queen and forgot about it. Fast forward 4 years, they became quizzical and started researching the reel. Lo and behold, they come across this thread and wonder, golly gee, could that be what I bought.
They sent me pics, and I confirmed to them that yes, they are indeed in possession of my stolen property. I ask who they bought it from and they provided a very redacted ebay sales order showing only the seller's name. 15 minutes with Ebay fraud, I now have the seller's and buyer's information. I've given the this person the option to keep the frame and spool (Ice Blue Tib N454) and just send me back my plates and internals. No dice, this one is obviously fishing for funds. So now, in my eyes, this person is nothing more that a common thief.

Please keep an eye out as I'm sure this person is going to try and part out and sell this stuff. Hopefully I can pay a visit before they do.

Start looking over your shoulder you thief, that bump in the night just might be me!
Time for a road trip!

you did offer a cash reward for a return and info on the culprit. And you were reimbursed by the shop

I find the possessor's tale to be a little fishy. I would be near impossible for that particular reel to pass through the eBay labyrinth without being detected by the ever watchful eyes of the Ohana.

It did take alot of time for it to pop up,,,,,, :( but ebay should refund the buyers money if he returns it to you,,,,, ;)  if not ebay should get in trouble for selling stolen property,,,, :D if not I think every member here should send ebay a complaint about this with numbers there is strength,,,,,, ;D

You have a very good point,,,, ;) I have looked and never seen it,,,,, ::)

If this person would have approached me with honesty and integrity, this whole topic would be closed. Everyone would have walked away with a little dent in the wallet and the case closed.

But sadly, that's not the case. This person is not only trying to cover their losses, but see how much more they can get.

After 15+ emails with this person, I have a pretty good profile of them.

It's crazy that a reel can be stolen twice and never see the sea. Never feel the pull of the drag or the excitement of boating the catch....

While the statute of limitations has long run out on the original theft, I'm going to pursue a new police report since this person has sent me pics of the reel in their possession and acknowledged they are not going to return it unless it's "mutually agreeable".

It was fairly easy to find the persons identity, and as much as I want to put them on blast, I can't. I will say, you know who this person is.

Please keep your eyes open for this reel in parts. Let's make sure this person has to sit on it for another 5 years.

That changes things. Seeking reimbursement isn't unreasonable. Seeking profit is.

If it were me, which it isn't, I'd offer the exact dollar value of what the shop reimbursed me, and not a penny more. Even if it was more than he paid, it would be equitable and fair. Even if it was less, still equitable and fair. But as you say, that's not the case.

Just to clarify, are you saying he's known by us here at this website?
