Harry,

You stated your pawn shop dealer assumes people use stolen credit cards
to purchase merch. since the product was purchased illegally with stolen
credit cards that makes the product stolen. Since you used the pawn shop
dealer as your "expert" in the situation it is reasonable to assume you
believed him.

Hence, you are buying stolen merchandise even though it is not on a tip
sheet.


No, I said he "guessed" some of his customers did that. I did not say he
"assumed." There can be a world of difference between a guess and an
assumption.

Again, you have shown your language skills are not up to par.

Further, if the merchandise isn't stolen, it isn't stolen. In pawn-shop
parlance, if it isn't on the tip sheet, it isn't stolen.

I'll trade you Hertvik and three future draft choices, hopefully two

Why not throw in Bert? Then we might have a peaceful newsgroup.

Okay, who stole the good-quality fishing pliers I bought last year?

I was stocking up my fishing bag and my three pair of el cheapo fishing
pliers are right where I left them, but the good Van Staal titanium
needle nose pliers are...GONE!!!

Which one of you bozos was in my garage?

'fess up or I'll UPS a box full of used kitty litter to your house.

You have 24 hours.

For what could you possibly need such high quality fishing pliers?

I have to ask:

What will a $100 pair of pliers do that a $15 pair wont' do?

How can you lose a tool that you use on your boat, how far can it go?

Is it possible this is just another one of those stories you like to tell?

They look real pretty mounted in a frame over the fire place?

No need at all. I found them at a bargain price on eBay last year. Even
at the bargain price, they were far more expensive than I needed. But
they are nice.

Oh. They've been found. My lovely bride said they were in a drawer in
her bathroom, and she was right. Now, why didn't it occur to me to look
there?

Heh - I could tell you stories about how my tools sometimes end up in
the bathroom cabinet, bed stand, kitchen drawers...oh yeah - been
there, done that.

I have rusted out cheapo needle-nose and ordinary pliers in my tackle box
and they have never failed me over my past 40 years or so of fishing. One
is not performing brain surgery with the fish when removing a hook and only
an inexperienced fisherman would use expensive mechanics tool to do so.
If I drop either of my pliers in the water I am out $5.99 plus tax...max. I
save my expensive tools for my workshop and working around the cars.

Now even if I did lose an expensive tool I would not post about it here, nor
would I later make a point of finding it in *her* bathroom. Hell, we have 3
full baths and a half bath in our house yet neither my wife nor I call any
*ours*............please pass the Grey Poupon. Then again, I would not
post a picture of my gravel driveway here either.

BTW: I stopped calling my wife "my bride" the day after I married her.
She has been my *wife* since I married her. Am I strange or what?

Have a nice holiday weekend folks. This is one funny thread. Thanks Harry.

I thought I was being a bit extravagant this spring when I paid $ 28.00
CDN for an 8" Klein Diagonal Cutter. I had lost my old Canadian Tire
version after a dozen years of occasional service and wanted what the
electricians use.
