John: I think you misunderstood my comment "I wonder who really owns
this car?" That was pure speculation--I am NOT trying to find the owner,
nor do I think any of us will ever find the Mythical Tech Sergeant.
Further, Although I agree with your "caveat emptor", I disagree that we
are peeing up a rope if we do anything to make these A$$H***S' life a
little more difficult. Time permitting, I make it a practice to "check
out" and correct urban legends that I receive by email, and to flag or
report fraudulent listings on ebay and craigslist. Of course, my small
contribution to cleaning up the internet is more like peeing in the
ocean than up a rope, but if 80-90% of the public did this, I think we
would see a marked decrease in the crap that is out there.

There is one hell of a difference between spam and fraud. Fraud is
criminal. This is fraud. Most spam is just a nuisance and usually
becomes criminal when the receiver does something STUPID by answering
it.
And, for those who are trying to find the owner of this car, good luck.
It is most probably taken from a collection of photographs readily
available on the internet or, as some have done, copying photos from
brochures.
As far as I am concerned, caveat emptor. If you are naove enough to fall
for this type of listing, you deserve to be taken. That is the basis of
all con jobs. Craig's list, eBay and the like will never admit to the
fact that their sites are vehicles for fraud. To do so would open them
up to litigation.
I would prefer to use my time to keep my Healey running rather than to
go through 7 pages of nonsense as there is absolutely nothing that can
be done to stop these guys or else the Billions and billions of dollars
that I have won over the years according to the emails I get on an old
email address would be true.
Does the phrase "Peeing up a rope have a meaning?"
