Does this sound like "stolen" balls to you?
So a co-worker of mine (i work in a pet store) was approached by a woman who said her hubby/bf/man had some balls he needed to get rid of quick. She said that he would sell the whole lot of them cheap. After a few moments, the man came up and took over the conversation. My co worker already had a spider, and had been looking to get another morph. The man at first said his wife/gf told him he had to get rid of the snakes ASAP because she didnt like them, and was my co-worker interested? The collection was an albino, pinstripe, pair of pastels, spider, and a normal with a six-tub 42qt rack with heat and a helix thermostat. Asking price $250!!!! This was about a week ago. My co worker showed me pics of the snakes before he made the purchase. I couldnt beleive it! Too good to be true, I said. Well, a few days ago, my co-woker tells me he has snakes in hand. He was able to get the money, and he brought a couple of the snakes in yesterday to show me, which I sexed for him. I saw a nice male albino, roughly 800g. And I saw a female pinstripe about 600g. He showed pics of the others and the rack. He will be bringing them into work so I can sex them tomorrow. I began to ask him questions about the guys motive, and the reason he was selling so cheap. My co worker said the night before the purchase, he talked to the guy on the phone, who changed his story. he said "I just want to give the snakes a good home"....as to the reason why they were so cheap. My coworker's dad, who has been in the pet business for quite some time, is on the same page as I am....I suspect they were stolen. I mean, even if someone was really REALLY desperate to unload snakes, they would still not sell them that cheap! I mean, he could have gotten $250 for the rack alone! Even lowballing prices would still set the group and rack between $700-$800!!! What do you think????? And is anybody missing some snakes in the Philly/Jersey/Delaware/MD area????

sounds very possible to me, and it would be hysterical if it was actually someone on here and you guys got the guy arrested for it, that would be: Ball Community 1 Douchebag 0
yeah something defiantly not right there... ask the guy questions about bp's he probably wont be able to answer them and then you'll know for sure

Could be stolen or there could be another story behind it. If they are discovered to be stolen, then your friend could be charged with receiving stolen property.

Ha! Thats what I told him!! Getting balls that cheap could cost you BIG FINES. Another reason theres no such thing as cheap balls. My fiancee told me that it could also possibly be that the guy was keeping them illegally and someone found out about it....but anyways, Im leaning towards the stolen thing. I mean, I guess my co_worker is in the clear if no one reports them stolen, but I am cautious. And Im not buying the whole "I want them to go to good homes" BS. Any good or responsible breeder would not let his balls go that cheap, because a person who is willing to pay a decent full price for a snake is probably knowledgeable of its value and more apt to take care of it and give it a good home.

Pretty sure you would have to know they were stolen to be charged. Best bet would be to report it to the police. That should cover your butt.
-
He'd be unlikely to be charged unless he knew they were stolen, or there was some obvious indicators beyond the cheap price that should have set-off red flags and any reasonable person would have suspected they were stolen, or he tries to withhold them from the proper owner if they are identified as stolen.

Cant be convicted unless he had knowledge that they were in fact illegally obtained by the seller. Which even if he did know that he obviously wouldn't admit that to the police and the police would have a hard time proving it anyways which is why its so rare that people get charged with it.
your coworker/friend is safe.
<-- Law Enforcement Major
see school does make you smarter after all :)
EDIT as OmNomNom stated if he was approached by the true original owner and refused to return them, then he has another situation in which usually results in the court forcing him to give them up and him not getting his money back.
-
Re: Does this sound like "stolen" balls to you?
Yeah...I hope its just ends up being a deal of the century for him. Because he doesnt really know much about the BP market, prices and whatnot. Only from what Ive told him and what hes read a little. Basically, he knows "morphs are cool" and thats about it.
-
That is odd, to be sure. If it's legit it's a heck of a find though.

They won't do anything without proof, but it's always good to have a report made up for records. If someone does report them later, it's already been recorded. Someone could be away on vacation and someone stole the snakes. There was also a story here not too long ago of a drug-addicted roommate or relative (I can't remember) that stole a person's albino and sold it cheap immediately after. The snake was eventually returned to the original owner just by chance.
I agree. Sounds too good to be true. A quick buck. Report it, just to make sure.

the worst that can happen is he has to give them up and looses his 250 bucks .... and with the odds of that happening ... i would have deff taken that deal! so win for him

report it? you people are nuts!
Trust me when it comes to the law ignorance is really bliss!!!!
the second those things are reported missing hes gonna have to cough them up no refund!!
option #2 dont report them and if by some act of god they figure out he has them .... this is where ignorance is bliss ... he didnt know so he cant be charged and the same again he would have to give them up no refund... BUT the chances of them figure out he has them slim to none... you honestly think cops are going to investigate a stolen pet? HAHA they will investigate the B&E but there not gonna investigate where the pet ended up. :P trust me they got better stuff to do
i have been in law school for 3 years now and most of my professors are lawyers that get off to loop wholes and ways around getting in trouble.

The definition of character right there . . . Sometimes its about doing the right thing when it may not be the best thing for you. After all, Character is who you are when no one is looking. Reporting it ensures that another owner in the community is not missing their collection, it's what's best for the possible original owner of the snakes who were wronged, you don't want to be the slimy person who rode the scam and hurt innocent people when it could have been prevented. . .

or you could be ned flanders over here and report it loose 250 bucks and miss out on the deal of a lifetime all for what to feel warm inside?

I am the fiance lol. I also believeit too good to be real deal cause the guy could of put them on craigslist and made money fast and more of it. i know if the permit part possible he could of just been ofloading them to prevent fines ( large ones) and possible jail time if the dnrec people/ health inspector shows up cause in parts of delaware it impossible to get a permit as well as have a permit transfered toother counties.
-
if he was offloading them due to permit issues why dump the rack and tstat dirt cheap too? you dont need a permit for those....
they are evidence sure but unless u have the actual animal in you possession then they cant do anything anyone spending that much money and housing them for a while would/should know that he could have claimed it was for ... leopard geckos or any other legal reptile really

If being a good person, and honest means I'm a Ned Flanders, then I'll happily take that name any day of the week. /shrug

I don't care if you're a reaper/sower or into karma, that's just bad juju to do something like that.
Or.... if one of us really wanted to act like a Ned Flanders, we could just call and report the issue ourselves now that we know about it. That way nobody's conscience is feeling wonky and if anybody gets in trouble, it's their own fault. ;)

Agreed. As someone who had a $1000 animal stolen from the breeder before she shipped to me, I find that attitude disturbing. I still look for her online and in pictures and this happened almost 3 years ago.

Seriously? You wouldn't feel like this if it were you that they were stolen from. I find your attitude about this very sad indeed.

Sometimes people do need to get rid of animals asap, or they really need money. Just last month I got an adult male pied, juvie male bumblebee and a small wild caught female for $450. Then went back to the guy a week later and got his sub adult female pied for $425. He really needed money because he was floating in past due bills.
Sometimes good deals come along.

The first they i would do that nobody else mentioned is take them to a vet, what if his entire collection has some sort of internal parasites? That the guy didnt want to spread to his pther reptiles?

Previously, you said you were in your 3rd year of law enforcement school, which implied a criminal justice degree. Which is it? Are you a 3L in Law School or in your third year of criminal justice? Those are two very different things.
Sorry, to hijack the thread. Just curious.

I too also agree on getting the word out about this, either an ad posted on craiglist and/or fauna. If I had any feeling/indication of snakes being stolen, that is what I would do, regardless if I'm out $25, $250 or $2,500. It's all about morals and ethics.

Re: Does this sound like "stolen" balls to you?
How can they be charged without proof nor animal ID. Good luck trying to describe the balls that look like everyone else's !

I was wondering the exact same thing, Don. :D
I'd venture to guess that it's not the 3L in Law School based on the lack of grammatical skill or writing prowess...Those guys have to be FANTASTIC writers. Just sayin'. :rolleyes:

This is why you'll make a great lawyer one day :rolleyes: They aren't well known for doing the right thing. Or caring about people. As long as they profit somehow.
I'll be sure to remember this if anything happens to go missing in your collection. We won't sympathize with you at all. We'll just pat the guy on the back that stole them from you and tell him: "Good job, man! You're getting a heck of a deal! What, that guy? He just paid for them. What a sucker."
Also: I know several people that are, in fact, in Law School. From the sounds of it, you have no idea how to approach a 'case'. Reporting suspicious activities to the police is not asking them to come and take the animals away. It is making them aware of the situation in case the rightful owner files a claim with the police. Then the owner and the person who bought them can be put into communication, the owner can get their animals back, and the man who stole them (if the contact information remains valid) can be charged.
How is that not a winning situation? Because the guy doesn't get a sweet deal out of someone else's loss?

I understand that everyone here is passionate about snakes but i feel like some people are jumpin the gun here. How is this any different from people finding morphs that were dropped off in animal shelters or at petco? It could very well be that maybe the lanlord found out about the snakes and didnt allow them in the first place, causing them to have to dump the snakes. I just cant see someone having the time to steal the snakes and the rack and t-stat. I think theres more to the story but i dont think its bad as everyone here is assuming. Call me optimistic maybe....

I think people are jumping the gun on the fact that one member seems to think it's fine to make out with a "sweet deal" at someone else's loss.
People who steal a snake are looking to make a quick buck, animal shelters aren't that option. Petco isn't that option either really as they don't even pay a small portion of the animal's worth. (and some pet places like to keep records of where they got the snakes, a thief wouldn't want those records)
Now, you may be right on the story itself, being they truly did have to dump them quick for non-illegal reasons. But I don't think that is really being discussed at this point. More to the tune of if that was the case, would you report it or just consider yourself lucky to get a sweet deal.
Honestly it could be any of the above possibilities. I would keep an eye out on CL and local shops for a lost / stolen ad, and keep my ears open just in case though.

If that were the case, why approach a pet store worker and solicit their business instead of posting about it on Craigslist? It's the lack of a trail as much as it is the price that makes it seem sketchy. He could have easily moved those animals in the space of a week at a higher price via Craigslist or some similar listing, yet he chose in person and tried to pawn them off as quickly as possible? Also, if they belonged to the guy, he would have been savvy as to their relative worth and would have likely wanted to make more money off of them. As much as we would like to believe it was just a sweet deal, the likelihood given the situation seems low.
I know if it happened to me though that I would want someone to report it so that I might get the chance to have my animals returned to me. The legality is not so much in question at this point as the ethics are. As mentioned previously, I'd be looking around for lost/stolen ads just to be sure. If someone is missing their animals, they would probably exhaust every possible route in their search for them.

If you hang out at the BOI, you'll realize all the kinds of stories we hear in the reptile world. It's not kittens and rainbows. People can be terrible, and unfortunately, it's almost always at someone else's expense. I'm not jumping the gun. I'm saying that the facts give me a red flag. When people are unloading animals, the general way they do this is to ask for just slightly less than the value they paid. They don't want to be 'out' for what they put into it. Asking $250 for that entire set-up tells me that the guy isn't sure what they're actually worth. That is a huge red flag. If I paid $250 for a rack system, you bet I'd be asking for at least $100 for the rack alone. That's a pretty drastic mark-down. I'm taking a loss, but not a huge loss.
With the animals this guy sold for $250, including the rack set-up... It doesn't make sense to me. Even if you 'needed money now', you'd still be asking for about 50% the value of what you paid. Asking $250 for that 'deal'? That doesn't sound like the guy knew what he had.... And more often than not, people who don't know what they have aquired these animals through unfortunate situations.
Maybe he didn't steal them... But maybe they aren't his either. In which case, why is his story changing?
To save the person who BOUGHT the animals for $250 from getting charged with handling stolen property, they should call the police, inform them of an 'unusual' transaction and ask if anybody has reported any missing snakes.

Let me give you another scenario, wife catches husband cheating, she pawns off his snakes cheap to get rid of them quick in retaliation. Happened to a guy I worked with, he was sleeping around, she sold his 69 camaro for 500 bucks.

Hah! See, that's definitely a situation where I can understand that. My ex cheated on me (for over a year... and had a baby with this woman during that time...!!) so I sold off all of his 'Mint Condition' action figures and comic books cheap too. To multiple people. Rebuilding that collection would take another 10 years, easily.
A camaro, though? That takes some serious anger to do that. Haha.
A friend of mine once told me: "My ovaries are bigger than his (male anatomy)"
Seems true!

ok but if he was cheating on his girlfriend and she sold them then you all think its okay? there still stolen. so we have different point of views, that happens yeah its wrong and if i had gotten the ball for that cheap i would just enjoy the good deal i wouldn't go way out of my way to make sure they werent stolen and no that doesnt make me a bad person going out of your way to make sure they aren't stolen would make you an amazingly good person which i doubt all of you truly are everyone claims to be untill it comes down to it, but if i had found out they were stolen seen a post on craigslist saying balls were stolen from me this is what was stolen and it matches what i bought yeah i would return them im not that horrible of a person. your all jumping on me for just being honest about how i feel about the situation " remind me to never do business with you " like really. :colbert:

I think it's "possible" it's a legitimate deal and someone just desperately needed $250.
But I think it's more "probable" that there's some illegal issues going on, and stolen snakes makes way more sense than most other scenarios.
If he were "unloading" them, and just needed money(even if he just needed $250), he should have started out asking way more than $250 for that whole deal. Even if he settled for $250 because he needed drugs or to pay his electric or alimony or whatever... if he really bought all that, he would know it's worth and try to start out at a higher amount. You don't just say "Hey, this is worth $2000, so take it for $100..." without first trying to get $1000.
Changing his story makes it more suspicious. Having the wife approach first, suspicious. Quick sale, suspicious. Not using appropriate venues, like contacting those who he purchased snakes from, other reptile people, pet stores, craigslist, online venues... suspicious. Too much fishy usually means something is not kosher and you should beware.
As far as jfaria1891's lack of ethics, well karma will out. I'm certain if someone cheated him, there'd be squalling and fussing and wishing for sympathy. But as long as it's some unnamed stranger who is possibly a victim of theft, I guess it's okay. It's the same attitude of "Well yeah I stole this from a table at a reptile show, but I didn't get caught so it's not really stolen".
As far as a scorned woman stuff, if she sells things in HER name, then he's out of luck. If the items belong to him or are in his name, she's a thief same as if she walked into your home and took your things and sold them. Sorry, but just because he's a jerk doesn't make it not stealing. If the car was in her name, then I hope she really enjoyed his anguish when he found out it was gone.
-
If I came home from vacation and found my snakes gone I would go straight to the police. If they said a somebody filed a report saying they bought some snakes worth $500 for $50 and in hind sight it seemed fishy, "just thought I should let you know in case they were in fact stolen." I would be ecstatic that someone was good enough to report it. I would be happy to have my snakes back. I personally would cover their monetary loss. Then I would want to track down the scum who stole from me.
Would you be a bad person for not reporting this? No. Would you feel better by doing so? I would certainly hope so. Is it possible that its simply a great deal? Absolutely!
Gain some Karma points and at least report it to someone, police, animal control, put an ad on craigslist...something.

You are right. I won't need to be reminded. I will most certainly remember. Thanks and have a wonderful day! :)
-
I think if someone stole them they would ask for more money, and how would they steal an entire rack and everything to care for the snakes?
I don't think they are stolen. I think the husband was given an ultimatum either by the wife/landlord/some authority. He needed to get rid of them fast. Wanting your animals to go to a good home is not something that raises a red flag for me. The price does, but nothing else really does.
From my understanding, the wife said the snakes needed to be gone and the husband said he wants them to go to a good home? Whats so wrong with that?
Again, I may have mis-read something in this rather long thread. This is just my opinion. Occasionally good deals surface. :/

I would be careful with how you represent your education. Claiming you are a 3L is very different from being in your second year of an associates degree. Good luck with your education.

sounds like the lady was at the pet store, which makes sense, craiglist's official stance is no animal sales, but we all "rehome" them for sale prices anyways. I doubt a random person would even know how to ship a snake, so whats left? local pet stores sounds pretty reasonable for someone who doesn't know the ropes.
Btw if I was to unload my snakes, i wouldn't even think of calling up people I have bought from.... I would find it odd if someone called me to see if I wanted to buy a snake I sold them.
From talking to many people, it doesn't matter whos name is on what when it comes to marriage, lawyers, and judges. I dont know never been married.

Law school doesnt mean just lawyers is anything that has to do with the law : law enforcemnt, lawyers, criminal justice, public defenders. Much like saying medical school is just for doctors when it could be nerses or vets or untrasound technitians.
You worry about you and ill worry about me, ok "don"

No offense, but Medical School is just for Doctors. Nursing School is for Nurses. And Veterinary School is for Vets. Technicians are a whole other ball game and don't attend any of the aforementioned institutions. It is not the same thing at all. They are all very different institutions with VERY different admissions requirements, and anyone who attended any of the three would not want to be misrepresented in such a way.

Can I ask a serious question? I honestly do not mean to offend but are you from another country?
The reason I ask is it might help us understand your interpretation of what Law School and Med School actually is and explain the spelling.

I think some of these threads should just be closed.

Re: Does this sound like "stolen" balls to you?
OK every one is keyboard happy here but really this is out of topic. Falsly accusing someone can also open a door to litigation. Just saying. What ever happen to benefit of the doubt ?

It's not 'falsely accusing' to say it sounds like a stolen animals situation. It's an opinion.
And as far as "I posted my opinion" routine, everyone who is a member of the site is just as 'entitled' to post their opinions of any/all posts on here. If you post that you think keeping stolen property is a great thing to do, you should be aware that people will feel free to post their opinion of that.
I know that if I were hard up for money, or HAD to get rid of snakes I would definitely contact people I had bought snakes from. After all, I already did one successful deal with them.. why not contact them? If they didn't want any of the snakes, they could easily know someone who did.
I do hope it's a completely legit deal and your buddy got a great deal. Otherwise, he's going to lose out on the money and the snakes, which will suck. If they are stolen, I hope the owner finds out where his animals are so he can get them back.
