My kid had his bike stolen. Literally watched the kid ride off on it. Same kid riding in circles in a parking lot when the cops showed up. I couldn't prove it was my bike. I didn't have a receipt or a serial number. Thief got to keep the bike.

I know this isn't relevant but I wanted to share. Take a picture of your kids bike serial numbers!

I mean, I guess playing Devils Advocate here, what's to stop someone from seeing your kid riding his bike, they like it, call the cops and claim your kid stole it from them, even though it really is his bike? How can the officer prove ownership? It is actually a he said / she said situation there (unless you can provide pictures of your kid posted on facebook with that bike from awhile back that proves it's been in your possession for longer than they claim it was stolen, or can produce a receipt, the box it came in or something?)

100% no shit. Cop said if I had no proof and it was a "he said/she said" case. Thief's parents said it was his bike, they bought it. I said it was my kids bike and I watched him ride off on it. Cop basically told me my only recourse was to steal it back.

So I think you know what needs to be done here, @davin...

;)

I'm not going back to detail all the facts, but from memory, Davin was selling them at $225/rack (I know you said your profit was as little as $12/rack, but I'm being irresponsible, here). I'm going to irresponsibly speculate that he paid $1/chip. So a box of 1000 chips was $1,250 in profit to him, less shipping. Call it $1000 (again, admittedly irresponsibly speculating).

@davin has a box worth $1000 profit to him go missing. 6 or 8 months later, someone has what damn sure looks like the missing box. What would your reaction be? Right or wrong, before reading this thread, would your reaction be as calm and thoughtful as some logical posts in this thread? Or would you fire off a PM to @luv2breformed claiming the chips were stolen from you? Wouldn't you feel a little like @CraigT78 when he saw another kid riding his kid's bike?!

Unless the chips can be proven to be stolen (and that is still an open question), I think they belong to @luv2breformed. That said, see @gavin @davin's actions, especially his initial abuptness/aggressiveness through his eyes.

This is Chris Rock, so duh, NSFW, but if you skip to 3:45, you'll get the point of this post:

I don't really care if @davin made some profit selling the chips, I would actually hope that there would be some reward for taking the risk. If I took a similar risk I would sure hope that I could make some money, knowing that it wouldn't be a life changing profit but enough to pay for some losses taken over the years.

What bothered me the most was that he flat out lied to me to try and make a sale, and I wasn't the only one he lied to either. Trust is such a huge part of this hobby, and losing that sucks. Maybe I'm just being naive, but I always want to assume we are on the same team and that we look out for each other.

Hopefully we can all learn something from this, and continue on with the hobby as friends who are into the same thing. It's life, and the occasional train wrecks will happen, but at the end I hope that we can all see past the differences and enjoy our (admittedly crazy) chipping hobby.
 
My kitchens getting a lot of love right now hahaha

Hopefully it’s serving it’s purpose as a distraction.
 
Shitshow. After wasting my life reading 18+ pages I learned:

* Don't ask the community "what should I do?" if you have no intention of giving them up.
* Don't press hard to plead your case of missing/stolen chips when you never asked the community to help you look in the first place.

Enjoy the chips. Next hand, please.
