i saw it as joke, but you're obviously on touchy ground. this matter on hand is very sensitive and you don't really want to go around making fun of the situation when it hasn't settled down yet.

You know, generally homeowner's/renter's insurance covers items that are stolen from inside your car.

Why is it some of you people can't comprehend?

f***** a... did he NOT say that he wasn't gonna post any info about the auction??
 
if thats not your car then im sinbad the sailor and you can whoop my shiny white A$$ instead.......if got hold of that guy boy........we're talkin a bag full of bean cans to the face! much more devastating than a bat 😉
 
what i said truly was a harmless joke...if there is any finger pointing to be going on it should be at notfred himself....most likely posting what he has won't affect the outcome but shouldn't he have told a bunch of internet peeps this info AFTER the cops had reached a resolution? He basically asked for an internet a-hat to send that guy an email or two...

A picture of MY supercharger. If you saw a picture of your wife giving head to some other guy on the internet, would you ask her about it or would you say "Eh, it's probably not her, just someone else that looks EXACTLY like her, no worries"?
Apples, oranges.
Since there is only ONE existing person that I would call my wife, I would imagine it would be pretty easy to tell. I've read the entire thread so I understand where you're coming from. Though I'm not dismissing the possibilty of it not being your stuff without more evidence.

He obviously feels that the stuff in the picture is similar enough to what was in his car that it merits further investigation. What do you think notFred should do, just forget about it?
Nope. Just entertaining the possiblity.

I don't think you understand this situation. This was not a car I bought and then sold a year later without ever opening the hood. I built the motor for this car myself, by hand. Every bolt, every hose, every part I put in myself. I'm just as sure that the car in that picture is mine as you would be that a picture was in fact your wife.
except your car is better lookin and probably weighs less too OHHHHH j/k 😉

Jokes are funny, that isn't funny in the least. A mans car being tampered with is no joking matter.

I was made aware of that situation after my stuff was stolen. Perhaps I would have just drove it home and spread shattered glass around and then called the police to file a claim. Unfortunately it was done at work and I am a semi honest person

A friend of mine found an auction for the same model supercharger I had stolen from me last january. Lo and behold, the picture of the blower is a picture of My car. It's exactly the same as my car was, every little detail makes it obvious that it is my stolen car in the picture.

I'm not going to post a link, because I don't need the auction ended early because someone from here decided to email the seller and scare him away.

I've already called the police.

the nerve of some people....get those bastards and they will get pwned

While i agree he should have not said anything until after it was resolved. Because of idiots like you.

I still say you should be banned. For one i don't believe you when you say it was a joke. you keep protesting about it to much.

I just hope NotFred can get his stuff back and you get your ass banned.

Nah, he shouldnt be banned. The constant ridicule and insulting towards him should be enough. The ban train always wants to take off so early...internet forums remind me of a study on mob mentality I once read

Didn't you see pics of the last anandtech meeting? I thought it was a joke at first...

I didn't but I sure as hell want to. Where can I get my hands on them?
 
Yeah, I would love to see some pictures of the clowns who call me an idiot when they are the ones living in their parents basement taking 3 credits at the local CC and getting married in everquest.
 
I got the serial number for the blower. I don't have any paperwork anymore, but I was able to call a place that rebuilt the blower in the summer of 2001. I asked if they kept records of everything, and they were able to look up the serial number of my blower from thier customer database. 🙂

yeah. hopefully the cops get there fast. before the guy gets a clue.

I didn't find the auction with notfred's part, but some of the other auctions for mustang superchargers had really high hitcounts (1500+) from ATOTers looking for it too. I doubt the guy will figure out what's going on.

lMlHuxley, I think you've reached the limit for posts in one thread. Shut up.
