Had something stolen? Check for it on eBay

Quote:When someone calls this city's police to report they've had something stolen - either in a home break-in or a vehicle smash-and-grab - Sgt. Doug Fisher gives out the same piece of advice, again and again:

"Look for your item on eBay."

..When police locate a stolen item online, tracking down the seller isn't easy. Fisher said eBay co-operates by pulling down suspect listings when notified, and turning over the names of shady sellers without requiring a warrant. But he added it often takes the company 10 to 20 days before they respond to his requests..
