Did anyone else notice that the "seller" of the radio was a Money Loan outfit. If you look at the sellers page on ebay it shows a picture of his Store front.

The port itself is actually pretty secure. CBP has some serious security around the place with roving patrols and video surveillance. Go a couple blocks away......lock yer doors!

Depending on what it is being sold I am sure there are a lot of stolen items on Ebay.
One sold already $415 s/n 2937

(or view his completed items)
by clearly showing the s/n im guessing the pawn shop was NOT aware they were stolen.
However they should have asked for the pawners ID, and made him sign a form saying "i own this property and it is not stolen etc".. least thats what legitmate pawn shops do for legal reasons.

I almost bid on the first one.. talked to the seller.. he was a nice guy answered my questions (although I didnt ask where it came from)
luckily i got tied up at work and couldnt get to a PC to bid on time before the auction ended wow

It would suck to get taken like that, Wonder how long it will take them to come get his scanner....................Hoser
should this not also go into the GRE forum?...
i doubt someone looking to buy a PSR-500 will search the announcements for info
just a suggestion

Secure where only 5 radios got stolen. Since there have been ports there has been stuff stolen. Then again it is just a guess that it was at the port where they got stolen. It could have been right out of GRE's warehouse.

I don't think it would be a guess that they were stolen at the port. Most companies have time signatures showing when certain items (specific down to individual serial numbers), leave certain checkpoints. I'm sure that there is a log showing when these left China and when they arrived in the US.
I don't think GRE would just arbitrarily say they got stolen at our port- I'm sure there is a little bit of substantiating evidence to back the claim.

Sorry, forgot that it did say they were stolen from the port. Still hard to belive that that would happen in Oakland, number 1 in murders for 3 years.
Thank you for showing us the s/n and posting info on here I'm glad someone is doing the right thing!
Can we track them
If we know the stolen goods serial number why cant we track them if they go air. Any way thanks for publishing this news, at least some one like me will surely check serial number before buying the product.

Ive contacted the seller, and hes nice enough. He said GRE hasnt claimed them as stolen yet at the local PD.
I contacted GRE as well and let them know... GRE has good customer service.

You're kidding...right? "Honest Pawnshop" is an oxymoron. There is no such thing.
Oh sure, there are pawn shops that follow the laws exactly. But that doesn't make them honest, that makes them smart so they can't be charged with being fences or possession of stolen property.
Pawn shop owners KNOW that some of the property they are getting is stolen, they're willing to take the small loss that occurs when the cops actually check the pawn slips and clear serial numbers and they get a pop on an item.
I was a cop for 26 years in Denver, CO. I guarantee you NO pawn shop does any kind of checking to see if you are the legitimate owner of something you bring in for pawn. Also, every pawn shop maximizes their profits by preying on those who are short of cash. They pay the minimum they can for a "loan" and then charge teh maximum fees they can get away with and, sell the property for as high a $$ as they can.
I've yet to meet a pawn shop owner who had money problems....they were all quite well off.
They are a business like every other business..out to make a dollar, and they make very good dollars! Nothing wrong with that....just don't ever get the idea in your head they're trying to "help" you.
"Go on the air" ?????
these are receivers...they don't broadcast their serial number. They don't "go on the air"
There is nothing to "track"
Maybe they have that NEW RFID technology, But Jumping on someone because they are Grammatically challenged doesn't help
And maybe the cops have nothing better to do than go driving around with RFID detectors looking for stolen RFID tags.
Actually...I didn't notice his gramatical error until you pointed it out.
Seriously...there's lots of people out there who think technology is teh answer to everything. It's not.
True, I would not want too much technology, I am not a Big Brother conspiracy theorist, but it does get scary
there is nothing to track.
We know where the stolen gre's are.
I let GRE know as well. All they need to do is call the local police and get them back

Enough already, GRE had some radio stolen. Big Deal, Every day scanners are stolen I don't see a thread for those, thank God!
