I will be engraving my shit as well.
good question i tried to find something i could click to flag but didn't really see anything....
I would just be worried eBay would delete the sale and not follow through. Can you see where he's from, I can't find it. Maybe the local police would do better. It's just to obvious that it's stolen.
it says location Bend, Oregon
I will to bet that's not really wear he is, maybe close though
and if you look close you can see cobb-webs on the remaining hose nubs..... like its been siting in storage or someshit probably waiting for the owners to forget..
Found a way to report it to eBay as stolen, in the bottom right, but it has to be from the police department. I my just give bend pd a call after work.
yall aren't even sure it's stolen, but you're calling the PD?
All cause hoses are cut? I have cut hoses plenty of times.
Didn't someone on here from Oregon just post that his stuff got stolen??
if its not stolen, why would you cut the hoses off?
bulletproof^you cut the hoses off your gtt like that? huh
I believe that Icarus's idea was probably best. imo
I got a lynx from someone with hoses cut like that. People are stupid and can't take the clamps off so they cut it.
There are just to many red flags. Gtt comes with at least a foot of hose and a barbed ditto. There shouldn't be a reason to cut it off that close. Whats the harm in having a professional look into it?
well if its not stolen and a "professional" goes to check out the situation and stumbles upon some other criminal activities.....you get the picture...I got busted like that once sucked.
yeah, I don't want someone knocking on this dudes door unless the person is 100% sure its there gear.
Off your GTT???Quote:

What are you gonna tell the cops?
I think a torch is stolen because the owner cut the hose? You have no other reason than that. Hopefully if it is the owner will notice it.
No. Off a red max. It's just barbed and I was always moving it before I had quick connects.
I have a gtt I had to redo the hoses on though.
@ bulletproof...exactly!
and why would someone cut the hose? because people are stupid, that's why.
so far as i can see, you are all calling this stolen without ANY proof. if i was the owner of the torch, and the owner of that ebay acct i'd be right pissed if some unknown forum dope called the cops and said it was hot.
That's not the same. A GTT owner would never mutilate his baby like that. It's blasphemy, I tell ya!Quote:

You gotta remember there are lots of idiots. People mutilate more expensive stuff than that. Havnt you seen pimp my ride?
edit, was mistaken shawnett for someone else.
^dude wtf thats not cool
I've seen people walk through our doors with herbies, gtts, cc +s, and PM2D's all with cut hoses or worse, trying to trade or sell them.
We did catch a dude with some stolen CCs once, and the owner got them back in the end. That was sweet. Other than that, I can say that cut hoses is an indicator, but certainly not a verifier of stolen torches. People do all kinds of dumb stuff to their equipment.
Edit: It's a GTT Mirage on Ebay with shitty description and you can see the oxy/fuel lines were cut in the picture.... screams stolen!
Just saw this posted on facebook in the Marble Collector Page
can't take credit for the find
just hoping someone gets their torch back

Someone tracked down the owner of the Mirage on eBay. From what I hear he's already called the cops.
Yeah, I'm fucking the dude from GTT! Wtf!
I admit I do my far share of shit talking but wow not like that. just sayin this shawnette lady has always been real nice and professional with me so i just didnt see why..
the same for kbinkster always been really nice and professional.
No prob. Apology accepted. But see how wrong you are? If I were, I'd have Kobuki! :P
Nice. That's how it should happen.Quote:

bulletproof i can never tell if your being sarcastic or serious
I think the real problem is i can't read well or somethin:chilling:
Barry your absolutely right. There are just a lot of things I personally don't think look right.
that's funny...i had a nightmare last night that i burned the garage down (my studio) and when i called 911, the operator told me to go pound sand.Quote:
