In article <7o8cqt$bep$1@fir.prod.itd.earthlink.net>, AbNeg@spamkiller.org (John) babbled on and on:


  Its also apparent now that thieves and fences are using EBAY to fence their 
goods....if you buy something on EBAY, how do you know its not stolen, and the 
police will come knocking on your door and take the stuff away?
