Stolen headlights on Ebay: Anything we can do??
Another pair of 997 headlights for sale. I suspect these are stolen.

This is becoming a regular thing on ebay. Is there anything that can be done to bust the guys that are doing this? Engraving our headlights? Any ideas?

Did anyone ask "what's the story on these, why are you selling new Xenons out of your car - are they hot?..." I have read about some people literally changing Xenons out for Halogen in the 911 models in the hopes they don't get ripped off for the 5th time (some people have been hit so many times). Unfortunately, the crooks don't check to see if they are Xenon or Halogen and rip them all out.

I just sent him a question.
I will advise what this guy says if I receive a reply....and no, I am not at all interested.
How did you come upon these headlights?
Are they from a car of yours? Can you vouch for the origin of the headlights and do they work properly?
Please advise, as I am interested.

BTW: Both Ebay and Paypal don't give a ship. I bought a kiteboard last Summer from a woman in HI. Two months later was bragging - with picture - in a kitesurf forum what a great, unknown board this was. The shaper called me from HI and said it was stolen from his truck earlier that year. I made him file a police report before I sent it back ..and then went to Ebay & Paypal with the report, etc. Their response was similar to the Generals at Walter Reed Hospital regarding treatment of injured Vets.
Some parts dealer will buy those lamps to rinse the smell off them.

My guess is that they have a certain dollar amount on which they'll pull the trigger for fraud.

Bad idea...if he's going to take them, let him...I'd say chances are close to zero that your car would be left unscathed at the point of realization that they are not easy to remove, either by more force or vandalism.

I received an answer back regarding these headlights as quoted. "No these lights are not "left overs" And absolutely you would be able to pick them up in person. I work in a body shop and the car left without the headlights, they were removed because they needed to be removed at the time. Not stolen. Call (818)469-1811 for any other questions".
See what he responds to the rest of your inquiries.
