Heh, heh. That one was stolen about 3 weeks ago from a break-in to a
local engineer's car overnight. The cops just love it when the crooks
make it so easy to recover stolen merchandise. <g>  It wasn't in PA.
It turned up in Kokomo, IN. Apparently the listing eBay member was one
of those "professional" eBay broker/sellers who list items based on
info exchanged by e-mail and never touch the actual item.

It looks like the FIM was quickly withdrawn and relisted at a much less
attractive price. Hmmmm ... I wonder if you could force the "seller" to
make good on the deal if you agreed to pay the asking price? Doubtful.
