Stolen Book (Update, book returned by UPS!) 2 2

[StrapsTivis]

Hey, long time lurker. Wanted to report a book just stolen from me by a "Chris Fox" out of the United Kingdom. The Book was a CGC 0.5 Fantastic Four #4 (cert number 4226990001). It was to be traded for a GCG 0.5 Amazing Spiderman #3 (can't read the cert number in his photo), but what showed up was a copy of "The Repair Shop: Crafts in the Barn" woodworking book. A good friend and LCS Owner suggested I post here so it can be reported as Stolen.

Hi

Sorry about the stolen book.  I had to remove the person's address from your post.  

[StrapsTivis]

Ok, sorry about that. 

[Point Five]

Sorry to hear this. What platform did you conduct the trade on?

It was in a Facebook Group "CBG - Comic Book Group" I reported it there as well, but per the advice of my buddy I posted here too.

OF COURSE, as soon as I give up... and make this post.. the book arrives back at my house! I put in a "Stop Shipment/Return To Sender" as soon as I knew I was scammed, and there were no guarantees they could stop it. Apparently they did, it arrived back at my house about 10min ago. I was so shocked. Consider the bell "Un-rung" if at all possible

Score!  Please let us know what heartwarming restorations you complete in the Water Cooler.

wow that's great news!

The last time I had an issue with USPS, I put in a missing package request with USPS and was told that the earliest they would be able to investigate was 3 months. 

They sent me an occasional email every few months saying WE HAVE NOT LOCATED THE PACKAGE but then the last one was just a 'too bad' email.

Looks like you made out ahead with that sweet copy of The Repair Shop: Crafts in the Barn.

I don't know why you are complaining, you made out like a bandit!

I'd give your local UPS driver a tip just as a thank you even though he probably had nothing to do with the recovery.

Dude, pretty sure this book is on CGC's list? I think the dolls inside have been married.
