Guardsmen accused of selling stolen gear on eBay

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Two National Guardsmen who served in Iraq have been arrested, accused of illegally selling thousands of dollars of stolen military gear — from night-vision equipment to body armor — on eBay.

Lee N. Shobe, 28, of Toledo, and Christopher R. Henkel, 36, of Decatur, were released on their own recognizance Tuesday after appearing in U.S. District Court in Urbana. They were arrested Friday on charges of stealing government property, and their cases were turned over to a federal grand jury.

Henkel and Shobe belong to Headquarters Company of the 2nd Battalion, 130th Infantry, based in Champaign, Army National Guard Col. Alicia Tate-Nadeau said. Shobe worked as a unit supply specialist, according to the complaint.

According to a criminal complaint, the pair sold military gear to undercover agents for more than $7,000. Henkel allegedly listed a global positioning system, night-vision equipment and clothing on the Internet auction site Ebay, and had buyers from the United States, Germany, Greece, Italy and Canada. Shobe allegedly sold a Taser, armor and other gear.

Authorities didn't say how they believe the men acquired the gear. But according to the complaint, Shobe told another person that some of the body armor was found in a duffel bag belonging to a a soldier from Chicago who was AWOL. The armor would have sold for several thousand dollars in the city, Shobe allegedly speculated.

San Jose, Calif.-based eBay prohibits the auction of military objects, ordnance and grenades, including body armor, night-vision gear and other items that can't clearly be identified as coming from a legitimate source, company spokeswoman Catherine England said.

The company reports potentially stolen goods to police, but in the Illinois case only provided records after being contacted by law enforcement, she said.

Henkel declined comment today. A message left at a Toledo telephone listing for Lee Shobe was not returned. Both men have retained attorneys, according to court documents, but neither attorney could be reached for comment today.

Nurse faked death after £10,000 eBay scam exposed

Six-months jail for games fraudster
Robert Sutcliffe
A NURSE who faked his own death after being caught out selling non-existent computer games on eBay wept as he was sent to prison for six months.

Martin Dunn, 35, used a loophole in the popular PayPal payment scheme to scam over £10,000 out of customers who ordered and paid for the latest computer games months in advance of their release date.

Using the "Buy it Now" section of the worldwide online market place website Dunn, a registered nurse at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, began taking orders and payment for the computer games – which he offered for half price at about £20 – in August 2004, which were not due to be released until that November.

By the time the release date came around on November 11 – and the orders failed to arrive – a 30-day deadline within which customers could complain had passed.

Peter Pimm, prosecuting at Doncaster Crown Court, said that complaints began to be posted on the PayPal message board warning people to "avoid this man" and calling him a "conman." In total he had made £10,132 from 410 orders that were placed with him.

One of the customers, Stephanie Wright, wrote an email to Dunn, of West Green Drive, Kirk Sandall, on November 20 inquiring about when her items would be delivered.
Mr Pimm told the court she received the following message in reply, reported to be from Dunn's wife: "Martin passed away suddenly on November 14 following a fatal car crash. The only reason I have checked this e-mail account is because I have the unpleasant task of trying to sort out my husband's affairs."

The same message was sent by Dunn to several other customers – one of whom described him as "the lowest of the low" on discovering it was a lie.

But Ms Wright was not taken in by the scam and reported the matter to the police.
Dunn was visited by an officer on November 23. He told him that he had been let down by a supplier and he intended to get the orders out. He said he had also sent a refund cheque to Ms Wright.

But in March 2005 his computer was seized when people had still not received their goods or a refund.
When it was examined police found a document created on November 15, 2004, entitled 'Is eBay safe?'.

Dunn then tried to pretend that the whole fraud had been part of an experiment to "expose the weaknesses in the eBay system".

However, Dunn pleaded guilty to a charge of obtaining a money transfer by deception.
The case related to £1,442.72 that the Crown could attest had not been refunded, because only 98 of the 410 customers had replied to their inquiries.

The final straw came when Dunn provided some 20 references to Judge Graham Robinson, that praised his "integrity", "honesty" and "trustworthiness" – but which had also been obtained by false pretences.

David Taylor, in mitigation for the father-of-one, said his client was extremely remorseful for what he had done and had paid back £7,500 of what was owed.
Judge Robinson said: "What you did undermines everyone's confidence in what otherwise is a very convenient method of trading goods. It is necessary to send a clear message out to the public."

Popular online marketplaces that have made it easier for thieves to sell stolen property also are making it easier than ever for victims to track what was taken from them.
Before the emergence of marketplaces such as eBay, petty thieves turned regularly to pawnshops to unload stolen gadgets, jewelry and other items. That left their victims no easy way to find and recover their property. Now, by using search engines, victims are often able to locate what was stolen and take steps to get it back.

"It's kind of evolved with the Internet," says Larry Abrahamson, district attorney in Colorado's Larimer County. "Basically, if a victim (in the past) wanted to find something that was stolen, they'd go and search the local pawnshops. Now all you've got to do is sit down at your computer. It's made it easier for victims."

Abrahamson's office is pursing a case in which security officers at a Fort Collins high school found 32 stolen computers for sale on eBay. The computers were taken in a break-in during the school's winter recess. Police were able to use the online listing to find and arrest two 17-year-old students, he says.

"It literally took a minute, a minute and a half to find them," says Norm Bastian, security manager of the Poudre School District in Fort Collins.

No one keeps track of how often victims or authorities recover stolen property online. Abrahamson says police still check with pawnbrokers as part of theft investigations more often than they search for items online. The largest online marketplace, eBay, cooperates daily with law enforcement but will not disclose the number of cases in which it is asked for assistance, spokeswoman Catherine England says.

Such searches are not without obstacles. EBay alone adds about 6 million items a day, and even if stolen property shows up on the site, picking it out from among dozens of similar items isn't always easy.

Even so, "We've actually heard from law enforcement that eBay is probably one of the dumbest places criminals can go to try to sell stolen property," England says. That's because sellers need to provide detailed personal information so they can be paid.

Tammy Schroden spent the better part of a day tracking down her son's possessions on eBay after they were stolen from a Northwestern University fraternity house in Evanston, Ill., in June. She located his Nintendo game system and tipped off campus police, who bid on it but lost out to another bidder at the last minute, school spokesman Charles Loebbaka says.

Schroden's own bid - $35 for two of her son's video games - was a winner, though. When the games arrived in the mail, they had "Schroden" written on the back, she says. Eventually, Loebbaka says, campus police identified a 17-year-old from Evanston as the seller, and persuaded the boy's father to give back a stolen laptop and printer and to pay $2,600 restitution. "If I didn't pursue this," Schroden says, "I know it wouldn't have gotten as far as it did."

# Brand new BMW parts advertised
# Police cordon off Branscombe beach
As police attempted to bring order to Branscombe beach yesterday, the original owners of looted possessions were plotting how to regain their goods — some of which have already turned up on eBay.

After hundreds of people had ransacked containers washed up from the stricken cargo vessel MSC Napoli, the beach was closed to stop the previous days’ chaotic scenes. Officials from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency described looters who carried off hundreds of thousands of pounds’ worth of free goods, from motorcycles to cosmetics and nappies, as “ despicable”. By opening the containers they had made the clean-up operation “800 per cent” more difficult, they said.

BMW, who had components and motorcycles on board the Napoli, have appointed a recovery agency to track down missing goods. Yesterday dozens of new BMW parts were popping up for sale in the Devon area. Some sellers were even advertising the fact that the items had come from Branscombe beach.

An eBay spokeswoman said that the site only removed items if there had been a specific complaint from police, but could not confirm if one had been received.

BMW had been shipping 77 containers from Germany to a South African assembly plant; the company says it does not know how many of the containers have been lost. A spokeswoman said: “We will have to wait until we can start salvaging to see what has gone overboard.” She added that the company was fully insured and would not suffer any costs as a result of losses or the recovery of goods. The value of the shipment was in the “low single- digit millions of euros”. The cargo included 39 motorcycles worth up to £15,000 each.

More people headed for Branscombe beach overnight, but they met a very different scene from the free-for-all of previous days. The narrow lanes were lined with flatbed trucks and vans rented as far away as Manchester and Liverpool.

Most were forced to abandon their vehicles miles from the beach and walk through the police cordon, only to end up cold, bedraggled and exhausted facing a long walk back up the hill with goods they could barely carry. After two days of high tides and scavenging most of what was left on the beach was smashed, worthless or impossible to shift. Girls dug with their hands under layers of ruined polystyrene lining, hoping to find more of the Estée Lauder and Lancôme cosmetics that had spilt from one container.

Now that the containers have been secured, anyone removing items will be warned that they are stealing. Those who have already taken goods have 28 days to declare them or face prosecution under the Merchant Shipping Act 1995. Anyone trying to sell what they have taken from the beach on ebay could be prosecuted for handling stolen goods.

John Williams, 40, was close to collapse after rolling a new BMW gearbox along the beach inside an oak wine barrel. He was forced to stop half a mile short of the road suffering from exhaustion. He said: “It is very tiring taking it across the pebbles and I have no idea how I will make the three miles up the hill to the car.

“The container full of cosmetics is empty. I got the last thing in it which was a tub of rejuvenating cream. I really need that now.”

There was good news for one couple who feared that they had lost a crate of personal possessions, including irreplacable family heirlooms and goods intended for charity. As reported in The Times yesterday, Jan and Anita Bokdal were shocked to see TV footage of people rifling through their belongings. But the Maritime and Coastguard Agency said that a member of the public had returned Anita Bokdal’s items.

Hey, what's not SLEAZY about all that?
