I just read up some on these mail recovery centers. They are supposed to go out of their way to find the owners, then ship the article back to them if possible. Letters that are undeliverable and have no other way to contact someone, get shredded. "Stuff" gets auctioned except for contraband/illegal things they find.

With your inquiries to the PO, your obvious sticker on the saw, a grand total of three saws in this auctioned off lot, etc., I am not getting it on why you didn't get the saw back in the first place. Someone at the post office screwed up, or this was done delibarately. And they found it, but then wouldn't get it back to you, is this correct? And no insurance money either..man..more weirdness.

As to CSJ, ball in his court now what to do. He registered and chimed in so I would guess something will get worked out.

If it was me, I would still recontact the postal inspectors and find out exactly how a very easy to ID article, with the owner making inquiries on it, wound up being auctioned off. This still smells bad. I am not believing a "simple mistake" here. Even if the package sorting machine destroyed the label, or it fell off, etc., this saw obviously would have been extremely easy to find, I mean, day to day, how many "lost" chainsaws do they have floating around the atlanta facility?

Lot of weirdness and unanswered questions!

do not wait. somebody has property that belongs to somebody else. How it got to where it is needs to be sorted out and fixed. If it turns out to be a huge USPS scam it needs to be brought to light and people need to be thrown in jail and fired. The fact that they insure packages and pay only 2% of the claims screams of a massive internal fraud. There are many thousands of good people working for the post office they need to have their reputations protected. It is time somebody takes out the trash.

I feel the same way. I'm trying to give this guy a chance to really contact me.....not just talk about that.
 
In all reality of this supposed chainsawjohnny character, it/he/she could very well be just a troll out there ####ing with all of us. Hopefully not and hopefully he at least contacts MM to try and resolve this issue. Not just so MM can back what is rightfully his but so that if CSJ is who he says he is, he can help MM get some answers out of USPS.

I don't get much time to come on AS this time of year and to come on now and see something like this going on, especially to a guy like MM, really sucks.

I had an auction gone bad on Ebay years ago and had the most luck getting the local authorities involved. Randy have you tried your local PD and Sherrif's Dept's. Also the local Dept's where the seller lives? That along with the FBI might be the best next step.

Good luck, I hope it works out for the best.

I have been in contact with the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.
 
Hey. Randy just read up on this. wild... seems like everything has come to light here the only thing missing is an athority/agent to connect the dots and make a case. both of csj post imo seemed fishy/odd and did to me sound as if csj planned to keep the saw just cover as if trying to throw off the posse's rethoric. Best of luck that is one sweet mini bike I saw ya riding ciggaretts a beer and slapping a$$ wild animal you..

The USPS auctions their stuff off through govdeals. Take a look at the completed auctions of the Atlanta Recovery Center, they auction off tons of stuff and not just a few chainsaws. It appears that they remove most of the packaging so that items can be categorized to be placed with similar items in lots. I went back through the last couple months of auctions and did not see the 394 or any of the Stihls in the pictures provided. Nor did I see a lot of just chainsaws.

Maybe they were all on the bottom of a pile of stuff or maybe they were bought at a different auction? That still doesn't explain the sawdust and missing parts.

Maybe John has the answers and maybe he doesn't, but I'm fairly certain the FBI would be able to determine that pretty quickly.
 
Question for the A.S. lawyers out there. If someone paid for shipping and insurance with their VISA card and stuff did not get delivered, could they at least file a dispute to get the money they paid back?

Just a thought on another route to take here.
Randy, how about your business insurance. Make a claim with your business insurance for the loss of the saw. The insurance company has the money and means to push the right buttons on something like this.
 
I contacted the Post office today and got some good and bad news. Basically they are saying we didnt file with in the allotted time for the insurance claim so now I've got some info on what to do next. Its basically hand writing letters arguing our point of why we deserve the money and what the saw is worth. There is more to it but thats the gist. Randy, I'll call you tonight.

Sorry for the saw Randy, I wasn't going to get in this but if you paid insurance on it, wouldn't they be responsible to pay you for it. I think you have a case against the postal service if you bought insurance.

They turned down my claim Rick......a very common practice for them.

We could have appealed again......but I grew tired of their crap.

There are just too many unanswered questions here........I would love to have the guy explain a few basic things.......like.

Why does the saw appeared to be used?

Could you show me your bill of sale?

I just don't seem how they can turn it down if you have paid for insurance on it. That ain't right. Guess their insurance is like the extended warrenty on new cars. They always find a reason to not fix it. I feel for ya cuz, keep on tryin something might come out of it.

Those are are very simple and easily answered questions. If he refuses to answer, then plain an simple, a lawsuit is in order. I'd love to see the USPS included as a plaintiff as well. If they're innocent, then they can prove it in a court of law.
