All of the items show are unique items. As such, once they are reported stolen, the police can add serial numbers, tagging schemes, usage on the bat etc when the individual item is logged into the NCIC/SCIC computer system.
If any item(s) shown up on eBay, eBay WILL cooperate with law-enforcement.

The police will not do anything with UPS becasue they are a private service entitiy. I have tried that before.
The best excuse I have heard is: "What kind of moron places his $70,000/yr job on the line for a stupid bat.?"
And they wonder why people suddenly snap.

Re: Post Your Stolen Or Lost Items!!!!
Many bats are stolen by UPS employees. They are easy to identify and UPS delivery people will still leave an empty box, knowing the contents are missing. Must find a better way to mail a bat so it's not so obvious it's a bat.
This was my post from the past thread about this subject:
When it happened to me, I was so lucky that I saw the UPS guy running away from my house and towards his truck. When I yelled to him that the box was empty, which was obvious, and he then came back and I could tell he was playing dumb. No way could he not tell the box was empty, especially when one end was open. Oh, the tube was in there, but not the bat. If it fell out, the entire contents including the tube would have fallen out. Yes, someone definately attempted to steal it. I called and then ran straight down to UPS. Yes, by the time I got to UPS, they found the bat. They said it slipped out somehow and they found it. Yeah, I bought that story.
I got lucky. Many don't. How people can rob and steal from others in the performance of their duties, is beyond me. We live is a greedy society. Truly sad!
Regards, Tony

Thanks

Re: Post Your Stolen Or Lost Items!!!!
ok well I will start off on all the stuff my ex stole from me.
If anyone has received or seen for sale in the last 2 years any large number of Oakland A's game used gear (including Huston street cleats, Jason Isringhausen cleats, Kevin Appier cleats. Johnny Damon batting helmet) or some autographed Athletics bobbleheads please let me know at the following email
Mdragon75@aim.com
There was also a Barry Zito game used bat in the same lot of stuff and close to 200 autographed baseballs. alot of just random autographs plus team signed balls from 2000 through 2005, 2 Tony Gwynn sweet spots balls, 3 Ryne Sandbergs, 1 Frank Robinson. 2 Paul Molitor, several Zito's, Tim Hudsons, Mark Mulders, Huston Streets as well.
Now on to recent thefts after reading your threads I was the victim of UPS theft. My mother had gotten me a Jay Payton and Donnie Murphy bats at the A's fanfest and had shipped them to me. One tube showed up empty and the other tube did not show up and has an "exception" listed for the tracking.

When I read your post, I thought it was some kind of scam. But, the seller is just an idiot. He's selling some crappy replica that looks nothing like your real Bird. EBay will end the auction, if you email them. Could this be a forum member(or lurker), who used a link to your webshots?

Re: Stolen Picture From My Collection
Geez, that's a funny one...
Using a photo of your jersey to sell the cheapest replica I have EVER seen... I wouldn't take one of those crappy jerseys for free.

Re: Stolen Picture From My Collection
this is an example of why i am leery of putting photos of my items on the net. also i took the advise of a person here who saves photos of items of interest that have sold on ebay just to recall who owns the item in question last. anyone else keep track of items of interest to yourself and what is your method.

Re: Post Your Stolen Or Lost Items!!!!
Hi everyone,
I recently lost a 1947 Frank Crosetti New York Yankees 19 consecutive wins presentational wristwatch. I believe it was stolen from my apartment in San Francisco, but cannot be sure. It's fine quality 14K gold wristwatch presented to Frank Crosetti in celebration of the 1947 Yankees record setting 19 consecutive victories. Reverse is inscribed, "Frank Crosetti[facsimile signature] 1947 19 Straight Wins American League Record". The Yankees logo is also engraved onto the back plate of the watch.
Watch has enourmous sentimental value and I'm offering a substantial reward for its return. The watch was lost in San Francisco, so I'm placing this ad anywhere in hopes that someone has found it and can return it to me.
Please contact Michael at 415-673-3253 or mtvmccoy@yahoo.com

I have posted this before, but not on this thread. I had a blonde SAM bat of Jose Canseco's from his days with the White Sox. I bought it from him and then turned around and loaned it to him to use while with the Long Beach Armada. While it was in there clubhouse, someone stole it. It appears in his book Juiced in the photo pf his tryout with the Dodgers. I cannot post photos, so if someone can post that photo on this thread I would really appreciate it. This bat has very distinctive pine tar patterns, and I could easily identify it. This bat was very special to me so I would love to have it back. If anyone sees it or knows where it is please contact me at spideyman79@yahoo.com
Thanks, Todd Ricks

This would go under the Lost category
I purchased this bat on ebay on April 24 and the seller sent it out via USPS priority mail on April 25. It's now May 2 and i have not received it.
Bat was in route from Colorado to New York.
I just received a bat from Michigan which was mailed via USPS priority mail on April 30th and arrive to me today May 2nd.

Re: Post Your Stolen Or Lost Items!!!!
Alright, we have one missing or should I say MLB does...
Good Morning America received the Mother's Day bats of Arod and Jeter. Both have been hit with and were signed. Anyway after the story they were sent back to MLB but only the Arod bat showed up. So if anyone spots a pink Jeter bat, signed and having ball marks on any site please let me know. I can't really say it was stolen but it is lost.

UPS Willie Stargell Bat
Hello.
I just sent a package with three bats to someone in the Pittsburgh area. The package was missing an awesome Willie Stargell bat.....it was already graded by everyone. I am trying to get scans of the COA's.....as soon as I get them I will let everyone know more details.
Thanks for any help....I was hoping that if it turned up at the national that someone could notify me.
It has the markings of more of a 65-68 but was graded as a 1971 due to a unique order.
Thanks,

Game used items stolen by wife
Hi
Just wondering, I wanted Jim Leyritz to confirm the cleats I have were his used in the 1999 World Series. He said he will not sign anything that was stolen from him. He also said he wanted the cleats back. This brings up several questions:
1) who leagally owes the cleats?
2) does he was any legal standpoint on the cleats?
3) Has this happened to anyone else?
In retrospect. Hollywood Rick has had them for three years. Mrs. Leyritz has signed a COA with them. They had been up on his website. what do you guys think?

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
If the were stolen from him, they are his not yours. You can't legally purchase and own items that are stolen.
However, you don't know that they were stolen. Just because he says she stole them, doesn't automatically prove it true. In a marital property marriage, the wife owns the stuff as much as the husband, and she may or may not have assumed legal ownership after breakup.
If they were stolen, you would have legal right to get your money back.
-
Re: Game used items stolen by wife
You should try and contact the wife, as she may offer a different version of the events, possibly with a divorce lawyer to back it up.
-
Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Did this happen or are you just asking to find what you could do if it ever happened. If it did happen like you are saying he would need to show proof that they were stolen, and if he did then their his.
-
Re: Game used items stolen by wife
One last note-- and I should say I have no opinion on the ownership of your items, and am offering no opinion on the coach--, but I once had a player's lawyer contact me to say an expensive item I won at auction was stolen from the player and I should return it. After minimal research by the auction house president, records showed that the item was not only never stolen from the player, but the player never owned it. I gave these facts to the lawyer, and he never returned message. So I learned that just because someone official claims something was stolen, doesn't automatically mean it was stolen.
-
Re: Game used items stolen by wife
I agree with Yanks. Even if they are stolen, he has to have proof of it. Legal recovery of items involves more than pointing at random things on the street and saying "That was stolen from me." You have to provide proof.
-
Re: Game used items stolen by wife
One last little tidbit to ponder about vintage equipment, like jerseys, pants, shoes, equipment bag. Was a player ever the owner of the items? Or were they always owned by the team? If a player took home his equipment bag after the season, did he have legal right to the bag? How much of an old time player's stuff was taken without permission from his employer? Likely quite a bit.
-
Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Hi
This is a real case . I am going through this now with the cleats from my other posts. The funny thing is that i have a written COA from his ex wife Mrs. Leyritz confirming the cleats as game used.
Thanks
Jason

You are quite correct. Anyone can make an allegation of theft. If it was in fact stolen there should be a police report documenting the theft. Then if it turns up down the road it is in fact stolen property. Of course proving intent is a whole different story.

A guy can't even get his own d##n shoes in a divorce settlement these days :eek:

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Do you know him or her personally? You write as though you do.
I'm sure there are divorce papers covering who got what, if you want the cleats that bad tell him to produce some backup for his claim they were "stolen" or are his under the divorce settlement.
Of course, you can count on never getting them signed if you fight him over this.
But, given his legal problems these days, he's about as likely as O.J. to come after you over these...
Oh wait, hmmm. Well, at least stay away from Vegas if you decide to keep 'em. :)

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Hi
I don't know Jim personally, but i know some of his people. He has in the past signed some of my game used items and personalized them. Something he doesn't like to do. I had an opportuntity to buy the cleats so i did. I never thought they would be stolen.
Thanks
Jason

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Remember that possession is 9/10 of the law! If you have them, he will need to prove that they legally belong to him. If they are that important to him, I'm sure they would be listed as going to him in divorce papers. The who's property is who's is all up to the court to decide and it will all be spelled out.
Even then he will be hard pressed to prove that THOSE shoes are indeed the ones that were stolen by his wife. I'm sure he wore many a pair through his career and can't positively keep track of all of them.
Enough with the legal stuff....your best bet is to get him to sign the shoes and offer him to add a note to her COA with some kind references to her. :) I'm sure getting to deface (or add in our opinions) her COA would be very therapeutic for him. In the end you end up with a one of a kind COA and a great collectibe.

Re: Game used items stolen by wife
Jim may want those cleats back when he has to fend off all the guys in prison which he should be sent to after killing that person drinking & driving.
-
Re: Game used items stolen by wife
At this point, it would be unrealistic to get the cleats signed. Just my humble opinion.

Perhaps Mr. Leyritz should offer an amnesty program whereby any of us (oops!), I mean, anybody wishing to return his game used items gets a free pass and visitation rights.......
