So I got off work a lil late yesterday and took a trip over there. They are just down the road from Center BMW - I'm wondering if there is any correlation. In any event, they were closed when I got there (they close at 6pm). I took some pics of the joint with my cell phone. On the door they state there is 24-hour audio and video surveillance. I'll try to head there on lunch break, or after I leave the office. If I can get them to provide a copy of the surveillance video, or at least review it, we could be golden. Will keep you posted.

There's a good chance that they would not release a copy to you a 3rd party, I would also suggest you not mention when you visit since we may not be sure that the person(s) involved may be watching this thread.

+1 on this....Eloy, a subpoena may be needed to secure the video tapes. Good luck!

I can't believe someone would actually think that they could get away with credit card fraud. It's only a matter of time before they get caught!

Good advice - I know better and should be cognizant of this.

I believe the feds get involved if the faud is over $150,000 and the FTC only gets involved if its over $2000, unfortunately there is a pretty good chance that they won't get caught. I'm hoping in this case it's the exception especially since we are all pretty motivated when someone attacks one of "our own". When you have people out there stealing millions of credit card numbers at a time the relatively small crimes against one vendor pales into insignificance.

If the culprit is on this forum, there's a good chance this thread will have scared him away into hiding and/or he'll make sure to not slip up and reveal any info on the exhaust publicly where someone can catch him.

Anyway, I think the first thing to find out is who's the person who signed for the package. Have the authorities question that individual.

LOL! Yup! Naw, my thing is this asshole did this in the neighborhood. And it's for a 535 - a newer E60. If the bastard couldn't afford the fucking thing, he should have bought a damned Kia.
