Struggling family done over by crooks

[Jonny Rotten]

So how did the cops know where to go to find this stolen bike? They could only have found out from the trade me seller surely?

they where telling me today that they had re advertized the ktm85 on trade me because they where short of cash and it was either the kids bike or the old mans bike what ever went first...if the kids bike sold.... as soon as the old mans went they were goin to replace his boys with another one...lucky his dads bike sold first but unluckly the old owners reconized the ktm on trade me and called the fuzz

That fuckn sucks big time, I'd be happy to donate $10 or something.
Any way of tracking those maggots down who did this?

Trademe should have IP logging - they will be able to find out the IP address of the advertiser, then via the ISP find the associated user.

They don't have IP logging? Well, that's a shit on-line trading service, isn't it. Where's the protection against things like this occuring every day? Pretty sweet: steal something, use a stolen credit card to set up your account and then flog the stolen goods knowing that they haven't got the means to trace you.

Trademe should adhere to basic security guidelines.

Sorry to hear about that kid and the hassles with the bike.

Is there any way of tracking them down via the contact made after the aution - phone calls, emails, did they pick up the bike from somewhere or did the crims deliver it?

Hey post the trademe ad will ya... we might keep an eye out for the lowlife involved (it WAS the trademe person wasn't it, or did they simply receive it... possibly in innocence?)

You got a name, address, trademe account or something?

Sorry to hear about the low life who stole yr money 4 the sale of a stolen bike. It absolutely disgusts me that there are people out there who feel no remorse 4 their low life actions. Just remember this what goes around comes around and 1 day they will get theres and heres hoping that when they do that they get it Big Time.

Why does everyone usually associate crims with being thick. Seems like here they had it pretty sorted. The pro's are probably watching us for the odd detail we think is irrelevant. How do you know they are not watching where you meet takin a few details, rego's doin a search up pops address etc they know you are away for a while doing the coro or whatever. They don't care about 9/11 consiracy theory BS they are just using the technology. Bro gets caught they all learn from it, ie evidence presented in court. Use it as intelligence for next burg or stuff. They are not stupid. We are for thinking they are.

Understood - and respected. It's not our job to determine the guilt or otherwise (if we actually KNOW he's guilty - that's a different issue)

Let me know if you want/need a hand with this at some point. I enjoy tracking down mofos... slowly but surely.

The trademe ad show sellers "address verified", so either the cops can get the address off trademe or address verification isn't worth a knob of goat shit.
