:eek:

For serious? Someone needs to ask him which course he ripped it off of...

Yeah that looks like a stolen basket.

Best bet is to just take a look at the location of where he's from, find the courses closest by within a certain radius and email the course contact to see if they had any baskets stolen.

You could try contacting ebay too, they don't take kindly to stolen property on their site.

Looks a little low, eh? :D

MN/WI boys need to check their courses with DGA baskets b/c that's from a public course most likely.

Coon Rapids is a suburb of the Cities and there have been many baskets stolen over the last few years.

I have notified the MFA email group so it should be looked into by somebody.

If my eyes are correct, it looks like hole number 7.

This is when I wish I was rich; I'd buy the basket and ship it to where it was stolen. Then I'd get his address and info from where it came from and report his [censored].

Someone on Ebay questioned him about if it was stolen..... His respose;

Question & Answer Answered On
Q: Where did you steal this from? Aug-02-07
A: im sorry i dont steal thank u.i have the pole but i throw high so i lowered to get my throw down.thanks for the concern though

Man....he must throw really f'n high to lower it that much.

If my eyes are correct, it looks like hole number 7.



Or possibly a 9, which would make sense, as on a 9 hole course the first and last holes are usually the easiest to get to.

Somebody already thinks they recognize it from a course not far from Coon Rapids. He believes it is hole 9 from Silverview that was stolen about a month ago. (what a coincidence the guy became a member of ebay about a month ago)

We want the auction to stay up so the PD can take care of it, so don't antagonize the guy. It may not be stolen, too, but it sure is suspicious.

No mention of what kind of base it has. No picture of the base. I'd bet it's stolen. If it is I hope that scumbag gets what he deserves!

Burn the witch! ;)

Kudos to DrewPac. Even if it's legitimate this shows the value of a shared site where such issues can be raised and questioned.

In the event it's stolen, I think there is a nice fine for defacing stealing public property. That is, contact the Parks department with his name and contact information!

I did like the "I putt low," apparently from under the proverbial ant's belly.

I highly doubt that he is working on lowering his putts by using a "chain link basket"

A Google Maps search for Coon Rapids, MN and Silverview Disc Golf Course yielded only 5 miles between the two points of interest. Looks like we found hole #9. :D

The internet makes the world a very small place indeed.

This guy has only sold one other item on Ebay and it was a cell phone battery, which are very easy to steal. I bet we can bring this "low putter" down!!!

The internet makes the world a very small place indeed.



especially if you are so short you have to lower the basket

Glad you started this thread... First thing I thought of when I saw that today was... STOLEN.

Again, nice job.

I hope this yahoo gets nailed...

sorry for the thread drift, but..

Happy Birthday Jim

How on earth will it be proven that 1) it IS #9 and 2) that he took it? Maybe we should start etching something into the metal - using acid so it can't be erased???

what about serial numbers?

what about serial numbers?



that would be cool if the manufacturers would start stamping them

Ask him where he bought it and how long the pole is.

This guy has ****** bag written all over...

hehe thanks krazy eye.... ;)

Dueschbag...


****** bag

way to keep a eye out DrewPac. If thats not stolen, then where the hell is the pole. This bastard should burn in hell. Find a large tree a hang the sumbiotch! :mad::mad::mad:

The pole is half there,only mach 3's have # plates and if you paid 412.00 plus 66.00 shipping I doubt that you'd saw the pole off under the basket so it could never be fixed again.And I know you can't order them like that.Conclusion......RIPPED OFF. Buy it for pick up and womp the moron!!! And contact ebay and don't pay.

dude... that guy's not a ****** bag.

He's a ****** box, I upgraded his ****** container.

Coincidentaly, I just got an ace during thursday league last nite and cashed for 65 bucks. The hole I aced?
Hole #9
:p

So what can ebay actually do besides pull the auction? Has there been any word on where the basket actually came from yet?

I showed the pic and the thread to some of my buddies last nite and they all said the same thing that the guy has to be a total dumb a** to think he can get away with trying to sell the basket on ebay.

At this point I'd suggest calling the local police. While the amount is relatively small, a) it's public property, b) the investigation is simple enough for them to conduct.

BTW - did anyone think to contact the manufacturer to see if they ever sold a basket to this guy? Not that you'd get much info, he could have won it (yeah right) or gotten it second hand.

I'd also contact the parks department, and I'd do it soon before he takes a powder.

BTW - the numbering on this basket is very unique, it shouldn't take much to do a comparison with the local course to see if the numbering is similar or the same.

wasnt there a saucer course that the 9th hole was a basket

in that area

what about serial numbers?



that would be cool if the manufacturers would start stamping them



GREAT idea!

The word "Frisbee" is a tradmarked name and not permitted to be used in auctions that are not actually selling a Frisbee item. That's why in all the eBay stores you'll see everything called Disc Golf (as it should) instead of referencing Frisbee golf. A fellow store owner was shut down temporarily because of this.

Now while this guy spelled it "Fisbee" (hilarious in it's own right), you could probably report it to eBay stating that it is using a trademarked name improperly and get the listing removed.

DONT WANT IT REMOVED WANT HIM HUNG FROM A TREE!

I sent a question asking the seller to provide a picture of the pole and the bottom of the basket so that I could see how it attaches. I will post back any reply from the seller.

Why have no locals bid on this for in-person pickup yet?

Hopefully he's not a pdga member with access to this board and this will work!! Good idea!!

I'm not taking any sides here guys, but remember "Innocent until proven guilty". Everyone here is acting like a lynch mob.

Because lynch mobs are more fun, duh.

<font color="blue"> "JABRONI" </font>

I was only joking with my post ... He will of course have to be tested before we declare him a witch. Anyone up for little river dunking party to see if he floats? :p

Bidding has ended?

Awe!!!! That sucks arse, I flyin up a kicking that guy's butt "Lynch mob style" :DMaybe he got wind of the message board and maybe this guy is or has been a PDGA member or just got to many questions on the basket. His friends must know or seen the basket. So they are all Dueche Bags :mad::mad::mad:Flying out to Cool Rapids tonight ;)

Obviously the guy got tipped off, which sucks. Hopefully it is because the police are doing something, but I don't know for sure. Personally I'm not sure if anybody is doing anything serious to try and bust this guy, but people have said they asked if they could buy it now and pick it up and he said yes. I believe somebody found his myspace page through his email. Should I post it here to the world? He's a total gangsta' wannabe.

Is that K-Fed???

Been Hated?...BWAHAHAHA!!! You got to be kidding me that the ebay seller is this guy...haha!!!
How did you find out that it's this guy?

His email is [email protected]

Okay, two disclaimers to start:
1. It really would suck if the basket was stolen. (though it sure looks like it!)
2. It would be bad if someone was falsely accused. (though I doubt it!)

That being said; this has to be one of THE most entertaining threads I have read in quite a while! :D

nanook

Gotta agree with Nanook ... Now on with the burning. ;)

I don't understand how someone can be such a fool.
Hopefully he has a previous record and will be going to jail.

LOL what a clueless 1.....

thats hilarious...I can't believe he takes himself seriously. He's like some wannabe gangsta from a movie...I'm sure he didn't steal that though...he looks like he plays lots of disc and would never steal a basket to make a quick buck... :D

Apparently "I make hip-hop music" isn't going to well for him...he had to get his hustle on by jacking baskets.

You know it hard out here for a pimp!!

This is the best thread ever. What a piece of work that guy is.

By the way who won the auction and whats going to be done about this?

I don't think anyone bid on it. Plus that would be possession of stolen property.

I wish someone would have bid it up and tried to get the guy to drop it off in person so he could have been reported and arrested.

Alrighty then.

exactly what I was thinking. Did anything ever get done to this guy?

Here is the latest from the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

http://www.twincities.com/north/ci_6588241

Theft: A caller reported Monday that someone was selling an item on eBay that appeared to have been stolen from a disc golf course in Silverview Park. Police tracked down the seller's address and retrieved the item, which the seller said was "found" in the park. No charges have been filed.

It is sad that no charges were filed. He was in possession of stolen property. He was trying to sell stolen property. The property was owned by the city (I assume. Is the course in question city owned?)

The comments on SYM are getting hilarious. I would like to see more.

They probably should have wrote...


No charges have been filed, yet.



This thug is going down!

I�m in the stealing disc golf baskets business and I need some advise. I saw that you cut off the base of a disc golf basket, brought the basket home and attempted to sell it on Ebay. Pretty smart, I bet you made some serious cash for that.



Farking ROFL

bnh8edisafag Priceless screen name!

Well at least the basket is getting returned.

I'm sure he had a slick story to tell the police since this thread was started and most definitely people were harassing him telling him that police will be called and such�.

He had plenty of time before the fuzz came over to think of a story.

This is as good as your ebay SKILLS.I Wish you lived in my HOOD &amp; see what the meaning of BEAT BOX would be. I hope some one beat boxes you once for stealing the City Property and then let you wake up beat box you for this you call "Music"

this is one of the funniest / saddest stories I've ever heard.



And Yet So TRUE !! :D

I think it's a hilarious story.

1) Gansta dude steals basket

2) Gansta dude posts it on ebay without a pole

3) Ebay users become suspiscious

4) Discussion begins on PDGA message board

5) Disc golfers do some research

6) Spamtown DiscGolfer found bnh8ed on myspace

7) bnh8ed gets busted by the cops and is let off the hook

8) bnh8ed's music career is exposed

9) Disc Golfers begin to post a message for bnh8ed (http://www.showcaseyourmusic.com/showcase.php?id=7211)

This is the most entertaining thread I've seen in a while...i'm glad the basket was recovered.

someone please let us know when he gets sentenced for being an IDIOT!!

1) <font color="red">Wannabe</font> Gansta dude steals basket

His site is so great. Those comments had me laughing sooooooo hard. I had to post my own.

He reminds me of Ill Mitch: http://www.illmitch.com/

So I'm watching some LLWS on ESPN as I'm working around the house today (MN vs. TX) and I'm thinking, "Where the heck have I heard of Coon Rapids, MN before???" Then it hits me, "Oh yeah! The high-putting, basket-stealing, gangsta wannabe!" Now my wife thinks I'm crazy for standing in the middle of the living room, laughing my butt off, for no apparent reason... :D

nanook

Come on Nanook, don't you mean your wife things you are some how even MORE strange than she thought you were before???

;)

Well, of course! By now she's so used to my usual level of strangeness that it seems normal to her! A more interesting question might be, "How in the world did I get her to marry me in the first place?!?"

I'm thinking someone should tell that Little League team to keep an eye on their equipment when they are in any of their hometown parks. It might vanish and then show up on ebay with a lame explanation if they don't!

nanook

hmm i've found a car in a parking lot before..
does that mean i can take it?

Good Job Guys, &lt;3 when message boards do this type of stuff, i've seen it on other forums too

Greenbeard,

If you don't object I am going to post that pic on his comments section on myspace everyday for the next week. He can delete the comments but if everyone does it he wont be able to keep up.

Now that it's fixed, knock yourself out ;)

hahahahahahaha

Just read this entire thread...its great!!

MySpace's account creation system seems to be broken right now. As soon as its fixed I will post it in his comments. I am sure his buddies are going to be asking him some strange ?s as soon as that image apears on his my space page. LOL LOL

Nicley done. Everytime I think about that picture I start LMAO.

Ok now another one. I'm sure the guys probably legit but still. I asked what was the reason he wasnt selling the pole and he said it was shorter than it was supposed to be. :confused:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=170146316218&amp;sspagenam e=ADME:X:RTQ:US:11

This must be another basket, i HOPE, i don't see the course number plate and I thought the police got thee other one. But this basket is problably from one of there other course he steals from :eek: :mad:

Indeed, it looks fishy. Why is the pole short, because it was sawed off? Is he saving on shipping charges by not selling the pole, or is that to hide the sawed off pole?

never mind this ones in cali, I was about to go crazy if it was that same ****** bag. But alittle fishing but not totally unbelievable. :confused:

It does have a distinct sticker on the pole inside of the chains. This could probably identify it if it was stolen.

We had a chain assembly stolen from a Mach II at Borden Park in Kingsport Tn last week and I was thinking of bidding to replace it but don't want to replace that stolen one with another stolen one. Is there any way to really determine ownership validity?
Tempted to ask him outright to prove it with bill of sale or other info in order for me to bid.

Ask someone who plays La Mirada and surrounding courses, as that is the seller's location.

I hope someone from there will post, since I don't know anyone myself.

Looks like a Heineken label.

Indeed!

On Monday 9/10 I sent the seller this question:

I was thinking about bidding on this to replace a stolen chain assembly at a local course. Do you have a receipt or other documentation of your purchase? I don't know you or have any reason to suspect a problem but the short pole does not make sense. Please explain.
Thanks

Nicely said fossil. Please keep us posted.

Some people who putt high shorten or remove the pole in order to practice putting lower. ;)

I'll defer to your expertise with short poles. :o

I did post about this auction on the So Cal thread with no response yet.

I know that you can order just the basket and chain assembly from DGA and get your pole locally. It saves on the cost and shipping. A local player did just that.

I couldn't provide a bill of sale for my portable basket. IMO, this seller sound legit, unlike mister "low putts".

I guess that this would not be a unique marking. There are probably a few baskets out there with beer labels affixed.

I have several baskets in my back yard and could not produce a bill of sale or receipt for any of them. I could maybe get anecdotal evidence for the ones that I have won from some of the other players that were at those events, but not much more than that.

It may well be completely legit, but I would feel better if the guy would at least address my question. It has only been one day and he may not have seen the question yet. If he does not answer at all then that might be a clue.

Seeing as where the Seller is from...Id bet that this is legit (hence Ive bid on it) The SoCal golfers would be ALL OVER this guy if it was stolen.....
Dont be too quick to judge....I also have 3 baskets that I could not produce reciepts for (maybe for 1 of them)
1 was a trophy from the Alabama Worlds that I bought for 100 bucks in '92 (Very SWEET Chrome Mach I) As well as a Trophy basket won by my Wife yrs ago as well. :D

Huntsville Worlds was 83 and 93. Glad you are back.
I have a gold one, a blue one etc.

That was a great event. The first town to repeat the Worlds, the first Hall of Fame induction, players dinner party at the Space and Rocket Center and a really cool video sponsored by Pizza Hut and shown nationwide.

Unlike you he has not responded to my question at all. You immediately can tell me where yours came from, I expected the same from him. I would be glad to explain why the pole is too short if it were mine, as you would likely have some story about it if were it yours.
But I have had 60 views from my message at the SoCal section with not a single comment so you are quite possibly right.
Good bidding.

I still tell people about the players party in '83, where we got to get a private ride in the simulated takeoff ride that was really a centrifuge, and how cool it was to throw a mini and watch is veer off in odd directions, or, if you could time the angle and speed, you could throw the mini to yourself, because you would rotate over to where the mini went, making it look like it was on some kind of invisible yo-yo string!

Bill, tourney there this weekend. Wish you were there.

Don't mess with the PDGA...heh ;)

BTW I'm glad all is good now. I just don't understand why someone would "steal" a basket.
Such a dumb and selfish thing to do.
