My house was broken into 5 years ago and $80,000+ dollars worth of custom knives were stolen.I have been looking for them for 5 years.Seems as though some would turn up.Not a one.jess Horns,Pardues,Randalls,Loveless,Moran were a fewthat were lost.pawnshops,Shows,dealershave yet to find a one.
This is curious. The thread on BF shows that this was purchased by LRJ35A who received it by 11/24/2006. The knife was supposedly sold on ebay on August 22, 2006 and it was listed here by ann_dem the following day.
Great job, Gigone.
That's why I just LUV those "Tell us about your most expensive customs" threads.![]()
Prolly the same exact knife on ebay, however it did not sell as the auction did not meet reserve.
Further in my mind, there is still not 100% concrete evidence that Ann is Vlad, and/or Ann knew Vlad was a crook and/or they both worked together in this scheme.
I have also not seen any evidence or claim by a seller or maker who has positively identified any knives that Ann or Vlad has sold to anyone.
So, to me this is all conjecture/heresay and still has some reasonable doubt.
Its everyones right to give opinion here, but it seems rather silly to me that everyone is still tossing out feelings of owning stolen goods and the various Kingmenship ideas of how to feel better about themselves to include giveaways, selling and giving monies to charities etc. If any of you really would consider selling to another, what you think was stolen goods, and giving the $$ to charity you're really perpetuating the crime further by selling to another unsuspecting person.
Denial is a stinky cologne. . .
Your entitled to your position no matter how flawed.Who claimed the potential buyer's would not be informed of the knife's history?
I don't see how giving to charity perpetuates the crime further,you have a warped way of thinking.If you truly read the thread carefully providing the evidence and viewed all the picture proof posted, any rational person can confidently come to the conclusion that Ann was Vlad.

For sake of argument, lets say Ann IS Vlad, now show me the thread that 100% proves any of the knives were stolen and identified as such...(maybe I'm just too stupid to find it)
I guess, come to think of it, if I just agreed w/everyone that had high post counts I'd be better off
"stinky cologne" ---Now theres a good screen ID for sure. I would probably be better off here on BF If I had 8-10,000 posts under my belt, then I might be "one of the boys".

U.S. law says property belongs to the owner. If it's stolen that doesn't change ownership; it still belongs to the owner. If the thief sells it that still doesn't change ownership; he didn't own it and wasn't entitled to sell it. No matter how many times it gets resold it still belongs to the owner, and if the owner can identify his property he can get it back. (Eventually. It's often held for evidence but after the trial it's returned to the owner.)

I must agree giving a stolen good to charity is not allowed.The court can confiscate criminall goods and sell it in an auction.Prolly the same exact knife on ebay, however it did not sell as the auction did not meet reserve.

If you're so sure of "Ann's" innocence or possible innocence and you're content with your transaction with "Ann," why do you continue to come back to this thread ?
Surely, you can see that you're one of very few that share the same opinion. So, your minority status has nothing to do with post count.![]()
