I know this all very little consolation, but it is possible that the guy was telling the truth and someone else along the way made the theft. I bought a JR module from a guy on eBay, waited over a month for it to arrive after he said he had shipped it, and never got it. It still has never showed up. I asked him to just return my money including shipping, and told him I wouldn't flame him if he did, giving him the benefit of the doubt, see as he had a good record. I also told him in an email that if it ever did show up, I would return the item or the pay for it again. He did give me the refund and also said '"enjoy your free module". I was insulted and told him so. He did apologize, sort of. I also have a 100% rating and he had no right to assume that, IMO. Anyway, my point is, crooks are everywhere these days, but they aren't always the guys we are directly dealing with.
